Description


Occupying a peaceful, private setting with no immediate neighbours, Cullaford lies in the sheltered hamlet of Coombe towards the southeren edge of Dartmoor around three miles north-west of Buckfastleigh.There is picturesque walking and riding country literally on the doorstep and you can easily head out to the open moor by following the nearby River Mardle up-stream.

The village of Scorriton is a few minutes walk along the high-hedged lanes and has a pub/restaurant and meeting hall. Holne village (5 minutes by car) has a well stocked shop, pub/restaurant, village hall and fine towered church. Whilst undoubtedly occupying a rural setting, Coombe is readily accessible being just eight minutes drive from the A38 at Dart Bridge, Buckfastleigh which connects the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter with the national motorway network beyond.

Cullaford was built in the early 1930s and was refurbished to a high standard in 2019 by the current owners who have lived at the property some 28 years. It retains much of its 1930s character such as wood floors, picture rails, unique arch-top doors but now benefits from modern levels of insulation, upgraded heating system with new plumbing, new electrical wiring with bespoke designed LED lighting and quality timber-framed windows. The bathroom and shower room have stylish modern suites.

The gardens and grounds provide a magical setting for Cullaford and are more than sufficient to satisfy the keenest of gardeners. Divided into a number of distinct areas, they include a formal walled garden, orchard, wildlife garden with large pond, and a large kitchen garden with raised growing beds and soft-fruits cages. The garden is bounded along the length of the north boundary by the River Mardle which is both picturesque and attracts much wildlife.
