Added Attraction
The property is located within the grounds of a sleepy (retired) Devonshire Water Mill which opens to visitors in the high season (Thursday - Saturday) for cream teas and suppers with excellent reviews. An added attraction are the extensive, managed grounds and parkland of about four acres which hosts the Lapford Mill miniature steam railway operating on Saturday afternoons through the Summer, however the extensive grounds ensure the 'business' of this attraction and the property are quite separate - apart from the occasional 'poop-poop' from Lyn's steam whistle, you wouldn't know she was there at all!

LAPFORD is a hillside village overlooking the river Yeo. It has a past reaching back to the Iron Age and a grade I listed church that was rebuilt and extended in the 12th century by Sir William De Tracey as penance for his part in the demise of Thomas Becket of Canterbury. There are several options for socialising within walking distance, including the popular Old Malt Scoop village pub, Lapford Mill café and the Lapford Ark. The village has both primary and pre-schools, a large public playing field at the heart of the village and is served by bus and rail on the scenic Tarka Line running between Barnstaple and Exeter. Lapford Mill is located within a 2-minute walk to a well-stocked Spar shop / petrol station and the vast and ancient Eggesford Forest about a mile up the main road is home to the very first trees planted by the Forestry Commission and offers numerous forest walks popular with families, riders and cyclists alike.
