Mill Barn, a charming cottage that sits alongside Crowdy Mill, and was for some 200 years the original storeroom for the mill. This is an extraordinarily private and peaceful spot, tucked in a sheltered wooded valley alongside the chattering waters of the River Harbourne and frequently visited by a variety of wildlife including egrets, dippers, buzzards and the occasional fox. The cottage is set in its own attractive well-stocked garden and the spacious, airy upper level sitting room is warm and sunny and enjoys beautiful, picturesque views to wooded hills and adjoining meadows where lambs gambol in the spring. The village of Harbertonford is a half mile stroll along a riverside country lane from this peaceful retreat, and 3.5 miles from the historic market town of Totnes. Centrally situated, it is not far to both the spectacular South Devon coast and the dramatic wilderness of Dartmoor.
