Description
Situation - This superb character residence is situated near the edge of the village of Horrabridge which lies within the Dartmoor National Park in West Devon. The open moorland of Plaster Down (1.5 miles to the North) is accessible from the house, providing opportunities for walking, cycling or riding.
Horrabridge, which has access to the National Cycle route 27, has several shops including a food store and Post Office, two Pubs, a playground and a popular Primary school. The village has a vibrant community with football teams for all ages, walking and cycling groups, and badminton, pickle ball and table tennis clubs.
Plymouth is within easy reach, making Derriford Hospital and the city’s schools (private, Grammar and state) a commutable distance by bus, car or bicycle. The nearby village of Yelverton (2 miles) and the thriving town of Tavistock (3.5 miles) offer a wider range of shops and amenities and both have GP and Veterinary Surgeries. Golf, cricket, tennis and bowling clubs are found in both settlements. Tavistock is a hugely popular market town forming part of a designated World Heritage Site. It has the much sort after private and independent school, Mount Kelly.
Description - This hugely impressive, non-listed period home has origins, we understand, dating to the early 19th Century, and has been a cherished family home to our clients for almost half a century. With some neo-classical design influence, and traditional character and proportions, the house has retained some wonderful detailing and features to include ceiling coving and ornate plasterwork, numerous fireplaces, picture rails, panelled walls, shuttered sash windows, decorative architraves, high skirting, and even the original butler bells remain in situ. The house occupies a private and sheltered plot in excess of half an acre, comprising mature formal and kitchen gardens which also contain a two-storey cottage and coach house, providing an annexe or income potential. Additionally, an attached paddock of 2.32 acres should appeal to those with equestrian interests, with moorland outriding within easy reach. In total, this incredibly special home extends to 2.916 acres.
The House - The ground-floor accommodation is briefly comprised as follows; a entrance vestibule with slate flooring; a bright and welcoming hallway; a sizeable, elegant sitting room with shuttered sash windows overlooking the front garden and a marble fireplace on a slate hearth; a dedicated dining room with a cast iron fireplace and logburner set into a marble surround; a dedicated study, featuring its own log burning stove; a useful cloakroom; a large, dual-aspect kitchen/dining room; a separate utility, and; a rear porch/boot room.
Notably, the kitchen is equipped with an excellent range of traditional cupboards and cabinets with black granite and solid timber worktops, plus a sizable island, a pantry cupboard, and an Aga range cooker. Integrated appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and Creda built-in oven.
Stairs descend from a side hallway down to a good-sized cellar, which is comprised of one large room and three ancillary spaces, all with original slate flooring, power and lighting.
Off the split, galleried first-floor landing are a total of five bedrooms, including four good-sized doubles, and two bathrooms and a separate WC. One of the bathrooms is ensuite to a large front facing double bedroom. It has a door which opens onto the back corridor. The four double bedrooms all have fitted wardrobe space, three have feature fireplaces, and two have fitted basins, whilst the fifth bedroom could be a dressing room, study or hobbies room, subject to any necessary consents or approvals.
Gardens, Land And Outbuildings - The house sits within beautiful, formal front and side gardens planted with an array of colourful flowering plants and mature shrubs. To the rear of the house is an elevated kitchen garden which includes a 6'x8' greenhouse and a stone and brick potting shed.
Adjacent to the house, the cottage is arranged with a kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor, plus two further rooms and a shower room on the first floor. The coach house has previously been used for stabling and could provide up to three loose boxes with a large hay loft running the length of the first floor.
Behind the house is a more naturalised garden area enclosed by stone walling, beyond which is the enclosed paddock, amounting to approximately 2.32 acres, with a gentle brook running along the northern boundary and there is a tractor shed near one field gate and a dilapidated field shelter near the higher gate.
Services - All mains services are connected. Gas central heating in the house and night storage heating in the cottage. Solar Thermal roof panels supplement the hot water. We understand that the property has the right to pump water from the brook, which our client uses for gardening. Ultrafast broadband is available, and mobile voice/data services are available through all four major providers. (Source: Ofcom's online service checker).
