This converted mill house for sale is more than 200 years old and is a “highly successful” guest house. 

Town Mills, in Dulverton, was built in approximately 1780 and sits in the centre of the town. 

The property comes with owners’ accommodation and a tearoom, and generates an income estimated to be similar to an average guest house double its size. 

A courtyard at the front of the house leads to the entrance vestibule, with tiled flooring and a door to an inner hallway with an ornate crystal chandelier. 

The primary dining area includes a feature fireplace and six tables, as well as an archway leading through to the second dining area, with oak beams and double doors to the front courtyard. 

Completing the ground floor is a commercial kitchen and a cloakroom, with a sweeping Georgian oak staircase leading upstairs. 

On the first floor, the hallway landing has a desk and a bookcase, while the letting accommodation spans the first and second floors and comprises six bedrooms, five of which are en-suite and one with a Georgian fireplace. 

The owner’s accommodation sits on the ground floor and includes a lounge, a double bedroom and a bathroom. 

Outside, at the front of the property is a gravelled courtyard which could be used for the tearoom, as well as a small garden and a water feature. 

To the rear is a communal garden with mature planting and trees, while at the far end is a gate and a bridge to the car park. 

There are also two large timber buildings/workshops to the rear, one of which can be used as a workshop. 

The property is being sold by Ware Commercial for a price of £649,500. 

The agent described the property as: “A beautiful Georgian converted millhouse, built around 1780, now a highly successful five en-suite bedroomed guest house.

“The business is successfully owner operated and is easily operated, generating an income similar to a guest house twice its size due to the high standard of accommodation on offer, demand and without the need for staff. 

“We, the agents, feel that with the tearoom being reintroduced, a substantial additional income could be generated and by trading more months of the year, the already impressive income could be increased.”
