Description

Holly Court is a substantial and highly adaptable country residence, perfectly positioned on the edge of Bovey Tracey in an idyllic, private setting. Accessed via a sweeping gravel driveway leading to a broad turning area with extensive parking and a triple garage, this impressive home sits within beautifully landscaped grounds that include sun terraces, formal lawns, mature planting, woodland, and tranquil lake views.

The elegant entrance, with its canopied and pillared porch, opens into a spacious reception hall where stairs rise and descend to the home’s various levels. From here, the layout flows effortlessly between grand entertaining spaces and intimate family areas, offering both comfort and flexibility.

The formal dining room enjoys a front aspect and connects through glazed double doors to a refined sitting room featuring a log burner, decorative surround, and dual garden-facing windows. A glazed door opens directly to the terrace, enhancing the home’s seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

At the heart of the property lies the stunning kitchen and casual dining space — a social hub designed for both family life and entertaining. Granite worktops, cream farmhouse-style cabinetry, a central island with breakfast bar, and quality integrated appliances, including a range cooker, create a perfect blend of style and practicality. French doors lead to a large balcony with spectacular views across the manicured gardens.

Additional ground-floor highlights include a well-equipped utility room, cloakroom, and a cosy snug with decked terrace access. There’s also a spacious ground floor bedroom with an en suite shower room — ideal for remote working or guest accommodation.

One of the property’s most impressive features is the indoor heated pool complex, boasting vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, tiled floors, and three sets of French doors opening to the garden. A modern shower room, changing area, and adjoining pump room complete this luxurious leisure suite. A spiral staircase ascends to a first-floor games and chill-out area with panoramic views towards the Dartmoor Hills.

The upper level hosts the principal bedroom suite — a luxurious private retreat featuring a large dressing room and en suite bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower. Four further double bedrooms each enjoy their own beautifully appointed en suite, with stylish finishes and generous fitted storage.

The lower ground floor provides remarkable versatility, including a full-size snooker room with sliding doors to the garden, extensive storage, and a large gymnasium-style reception space — ideal for fitness, hobbies, or recreation.

Adding to the home’s appeal is a superb self-contained two-storey annex, accessible internally and via a private external entrance. The annex offers a comfortable living room with electric fire, dining area, fitted kitchen, and direct garden access to a private terrace. Upstairs is a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage and a modern en suite shower room — perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or rental opportunities.

Outside, the landscaped grounds are truly exceptional. Expansive lawns, mature trees, and an array of terraces provide perfect settings for outdoor entertaining or peaceful relaxation. The rear woodland and lake offer a serene backdrop, enhancing the property’s sense of privacy and rural charm. A detached triple garage block, tractor shed, and ample parking complete the external features.

Situation

Holly Court enjoys an enviable location on the outskirts of Bovey Tracey — often referred to as the “Gateway to Dartmoor.” Surrounded by rolling countryside yet just minutes from the A38, residents benefit from both tranquility and excellent connectivity to Exeter, Plymouth, and the M5. Newton Abbot station provides regular mainline services to London Paddington and beyond.

Bovey Tracey offers a welcoming community with independent shops, cafés, galleries, and cultural events. Families are well served by excellent local schools, including Bovey Tracey Primary, South Dartmoor Community College, and independent Stover School. With Dartmoor National Park on the doorstep, offering endless outdoor pursuits, Holly Court perfectly combines refined country living with modern convenience.

Directions

From Exeter, take the A38 south towards Plymouth. After approximately 12 miles, exit at Bovey Tracey/Drumbridges. At the roundabout, take the first exit onto the A382 towards Bovey Tracey. Continue for around 1 mile, then at the next roundabout take the second exit to stay on the A382. At the following roundabout, take the first exit onto Pottery Road. At Thorn Cross junction, turn left; the private drive for Holly Court is shortly on the left.

About Pilkington Estates, Stoke

Harscombe House 1Darklake View, Plymouth, PL6 7TL

Buying and selling property is both an art and a science. In the 21st century, the world of estate agency has blossomed in the digital environment, leaving many traditional firms left standing, eyeing the technology with confusion and suspicion rather than embracing it. The team at Pilkington Estates are digital natives, embracing everything the modern world has to offer to help present your home in the best possible light, and using technology to get the right message to the right buyer at the right time.

This contemporary, no nonsense approach is balanced by a sensitivity and empathy towards their customers, both buyers and sellers, that allows us to offer a truly one to one bespoke service.

We understand that every customer is different, and each client has different needs and requirements, so will customise any modern method of selling to suit individual requirements.

Whether you are an old hand with multiple sales under your belt, or whether you are selling a much loved family home for the first time, Pilkington Estates are careful to hand hold you through the process as much or as little as you need.

We can help keep your house hunting enthusiasm burning with intelligent recommendations or can take the strain of the entire relocation process by doing all the running around that you are too busy to do.

We sit comfortably in this fast-paced world, understanding your need for urgency. We bring an energy and confidence to the whole buying and selling process that will get the job done without the drama.

This is not an agency that likes to sit around waiting for the phone to ring!
