Situated in an exceptional position at Higher Brimley, Devon View boasts panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and towards Bovey Tracey. Its elevated position further enhances the spectacular outlook, which can be enjoyed from both the house and gardens.
Higher Brimley is a picturesque and peaceful hamlet located approximately two miles from Bovey Tracey.

Devon View occupies a particularly private position within the hamlet, offering a wonderful opportunity to enjoy rural living while remaining just over five minutes' drive from a wide range of amenities.

The town also has an active local community, with numerous clubs and societies.
The nearby Dartmoor village of Ilsington provides amenities, including a highly regarded primary school, excellent community shop/post office, and a traditional Devon pub.
Devon View is a substantial property offering considerable potential and highly versatile accommodation. It is currently arranged as a four-bedroom home, with the principal bedroom suite occupying the lower-ground floor.

There is also a kitchen/breakfast room and a large studio room offering potential for use as a home office, relocation of the kitchen or a variety of other purposes, subject to any necessary consents.
A large attic space provides further potential for conversion, subject to the relevant consents, while the property would now benefit from some general updating and modernisation.
