Description

Set in an elevated and rural mid-Devon position, Eastwood Farm occupies a highly attractive and accessible setting, enjoying views over the surrounding landscape and towards Dartmoor National Park.
The farm offers a rare balance of lifestyle, enterprise and off-grid living, centred on a thoughtfully designed and versatile five-bedroom, single-storey home with beautifully maintained gardens.
