East Portlemouth, Holset Court, TQ8

The home itself is full of character, of a stone construction with interesting architectural details throughout. As you enter the property, a large porch provides the perfect spot for coats and wellies after countryside walks. From here, a generous entrance hall with ample storage leads through to the principal living space.

Pitched ceilings create a wonderful sense of space and light in the drawing/dining room, which is a standout feature of the home. An impressive, light-filled room with a wood-burning stove as its focal point, soaring ceilings, and panoramic views over the gardens toward Dartmoor from the windows. French doors open onto a large patio, ideal for entertaining. The room easily accommodates a dining table for 10 or more guests.

 The kitchen is well-fitted and thoughtfully designed with an AGA range cooker and space for a dining table and chairs. A door from the kitchen opens to the patio and gardens, creating a  seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility area, with extra storage.

 A corridor leads to the night quarters, where you will find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom with pitched ceilings, fitted wardrobes, airing cupboard and an en-suite bathroom, is at the far end of the corridor and has a run of built-in wardrobes.
