Description

Introduction
Set in over four acres of peaceful countryside between Landscove and Ashburton, Parkfield Court is a detached single-storey barn conversion offering excellent space, privacy, and equestrian facilities. With a flexible layout, generous proportions, and huge potential to enhance, this home provides an ideal lifestyle opportunity in one of South Devon’s most desirable rural locations.

Seller Story
'I’ve loved living at Parkfield Court—not just because of the house itself, but because of everything that surrounds it. It’s incredibly peaceful here. Most of the time, all I can hear is birdsong, and yet I’m only a mile from Ashburton, the A38, and the edge of Dartmoor. It’s a perfect balance—quiet and rural, but never remote.

The courtyard is a real suntrap and makes the heart of the home feel like a private retreat, especially in the warmer months. I’m surrounded by beautiful countryside, with walks and riding routes in every direction. The views are constantly changing with the seasons and are something I’ll really miss.

The house was built with practicality and longevity in mind—everything is on one level, with wide access, double doors front and back, which could make it easily adapted for wheelchair users. It’s solidly constructed using high-quality materials and is surprisingly economical to run for a home of this size.

I’ve also felt a strong sense of community here. This is a small hamlet with a supportive, neighbourly spirit—one of those rare places where you can feel truly at home from day one. And with excellent schools nearby, both state and independent, it’s a great area for families as well.'

Inside
The accommodation centres around a charming courtyard with a working water feature, creating a private and tranquil atmosphere from the outset. Inside, a wet underfloor heating system runs throughout the home, providing comfortable warmth and complementing the characterful interiors.

The entrance hall, with parquet flooring and a cast iron fireplace, sets the tone with warmth and charm. The sitting room features a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers, a brick fireplace with multi-fuel stove, and doors out to a west-facing patio—perfect for enjoying the evening sun.

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room includes a hand-built kitchen with an oil-fired four-oven Aga, granite worktops, Miele appliances, and a double Belfast sink. A separate utility room and shower room add practicality, while a study offers ideal space for working from home.

There are four double bedrooms in total, two with en-suite bathrooms, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and garden views, with an en-suite featuring a freestanding bath, separate shower, bidet, and WC.

Outside
The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with paved patios wrapping around the house and mature planting providing structure and privacy. A timber store sits tucked into the far corner for firewood and machinery.

The gravel driveway continues past the house to a large yard with ample parking and the equestrian facilities: a stable block with three loose boxes (including a larger foaling box), a secure tack room, and a large timber barn/workshop with power, lighting, and surveillance. An all-weather arena (approx. 42m x 21m) lies just above, with post-and-rail fenced paddocks and a Hickstead-style bank for cross-country training—making this an ideal setup for both recreational and competitive equestrian use.

Location
Parkfield Court is located just over a mile from the thriving town of Ashburton, offering independent shops, cafés, and the renowned Ashburton Cookery School. Landscove village is also nearby, with a popular primary school and well-regarded pub.

The A38 dual carriageway is within easy reach, providing swift access to Exeter and Plymouth. Mainline rail services to London Paddington are available from Newton Abbot and Totnes. The wild landscapes of Dartmoor and the sandy beaches of Teignmouth and Torbay are both a short drive away.
