A charming former mill overlooking a Devon railway that featured on BBC One crime drama Beyond Paradise has been put up for sale near Totnes. Lying on the banks of the River Dart, No.3 Staverton Mill at Staverton is a gorgeous, Grade II listed, mid-terraced, restored mill converted by Elmwood Properties Limited and completed in 2010.
Described by estate agents Stags as the perfect spot for a holiday home or full-time living, the property nestles between the stunning River Dart, perfect for a variety of water sports and activities, and the renowned South Devon Railway.
Mike Noon sales valuer at Stags in Totnes said: “Every time I visit Staverton Mill I am reminded just how stunning it is. Our vendors have renovated it beautifully, but I must say it is its location that took my breath away. Perched beside the River Dart the property not only enjoys views across the river which enables you to witness the wealth of wildlife that can be seen on its banks, it enjoys the historic South Devon Railway to the other side.

“This truly nostalgic attraction is right on the property’s doorstep allowing you to truly immerse yourself in times gone by. For those looking to step away from its superb setting, Totnes is just three miles away, with the A38 at Buckfastleigh four miles away providing access to Dartmoor National Park and further afield.”
For sale with no onward chain and a guide price of £475,000, No.3 Staverton Mill offers three floors of accommodation. The developer worked closely to ensure the property’s original charm and character was preserved and since then it has undergone considerable renovation to sympathetically modernise the delightful home.
As well as hosting a cloakroom and a utility room, the ground floor is home to a wonderful master bedroom that has a pleasant outlook across the river, a roll-top bath, attractive slate flooring and, as a quirky party piece, glass that provides a view of part of the original mill under the floor.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms. One lies to the rear of the house and has potential for a study plus views towards the South Devon Railway, while the other sits to the front of the house and features an en suite, built-in storage and a glorious river view.
The second floor of the house boasts a wonderful open-plan reception space with plenty of room for sitting and dining, and an attractive, modern kitchen.
As well as an allocated parking space, No.3 enjoys the use of Staverton Mill’s communal grounds, including a large decking area overlooking the river bank, as well as lawns to the front and back.
