Description

Introduction
Aller Farm House is a beautifully presented Georgian home set in a wonderfully private position on the edge of Bovey Tracey. With far reaching valley views, generous proportions throughout, and over five acres of grounds including paddock and outbuildings, it offers a peaceful rural setting within easy reach of the town and Dartmoor. For those with horses, it also provides excellent equestrian potential with direct access to great outriding.

The House
Extended in the early Georgian period from a traditional farm house to create a substantial home with attractive Georgian facade, this unlisted house has classic symmetry, sash windows and a slate roof. Inside, the rooms are elegant, light and spacious, with the layout taking full advantage of the orientation and natural daylight. The two main reception rooms sit to the front of the house, both fitted with wood burning stoves and overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. The kitchen breakfast room has south west facing aspects, a chamfered beam, and a two oven AGA alongside a range of electrical appliances.

Original features remain throughout, including fireplaces, coving and a sweeping staircase rising from the entrance hall. Upstairs are four generous double bedrooms. The principal and guest bedrooms both have en suites, while two further doubles share the family bath and shower room. There is also a handy downstairs shower room. A staircase from the first floor landing gives access to the large loft, which spans the full width of the property and offers tremendous opportunity to create additional bedrooms or large bedroom suite (subject to planning).

Grounds and Equestrian Potential
The property sits in about 5.37 acres, approached via a long private driveway. The land includes two paddocks, gardens on three sides, and a range of useful outbuildings including a double garage, stores, and a stable block with two loose boxes and a tack room.

For equestrian buyers, the setting is a real advantage. The current owners’ daughters regularly rode straight from the property, heading up Little Johns Walk (a public byway) to Furzleigh Cross, where you can hack through the quiet lanes and bridleways around Hennock or continue into the woodland tracks around the reservoirs. For moorland riding, there is a short stretch of about 100 metres along the A382 before turning left onto Ashwell Lane and entering the moor via Pullabrook and Lustleigh. From here, there is outstanding riding in every direction and endless routes once you reach the open moor. The family were active members of South Devon Moorland Pony Club, giving a sense of just how well located the property is for anyone with horses.


Lifestyle
The location puts you right on the fringe of Dartmoor National Park with its granite tors, heather moorland, wooded valleys, rivers and miles of walking, cycling and riding. Nearby Bovey Tracey offers independent shops, cafés, a farmers’ market and useful amenities including GP, dental and veterinary services.

The picturesque village of Lustleigh and the vibrant community of Moretonhampstead are also close at hand, giving you more choice of local shops, pubs, tea rooms and village life.

Schooling options are excellent with the well regarded Stover School a short drive away, and leading independent schools in Exeter including Exeter School and The Maynard School.

Exeter itself is very accessible, typically reached in around half an hour by road, making it easy to enjoy the city’s wide choice of shopping at Princesshay, restaurants, cafés, cultural venues, riverside walks and the historic Cathedral Quarter. The city also provides major employment centres, hospitals, health services and the University, making it a convenient hub for both work and family life.

For coast lovers, the beaches at Teignmouth and Shaldon are around twenty minutes away. The beautiful coves and sandy beaches of the South Hams are about forty five minutes from the property, offering an easy escape for days out.

Transport connections are strong with quick access to the A38 for Exeter, Plymouth and the M5, while Newton Abbot and Exeter St Davids provide fast direct trains to London Paddington.

This is a location that genuinely gives you the best of town, city, moor and coast in one place.
