Farmhouse with outbuildings and garden Newton Abbot (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTION Commanding a magnificent position between Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon coast, Bickington Barton is an exceptional 16th-century grade II listed country residence that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern rural living. Set within just over six acres of glorious Devon countryside, this distinguished property offers a rare lifestyle opportunity — combining character, versatility, and breathtaking views in equal measure. Beautifully presented, the main house retains a wealth of period features, from exposed beams and granite fireplaces to graceful proportions throughout. The grounds encompass a range of traditional barns, a stable block, and a former piggery, presenting exciting potential for equestrian use or a thriving smallholding. With ample space and privacy, the property also lends itself to multi-generational living or guest accommodation, with scope to create an impressive annex or holiday retreat (subject to planning consents). Peacefully positioned on the edge of a charming rural village, Bickington Barton enjoys an idyllic countryside setting, offering an unparalleled Devon lifestyle of comfort, heritage, and natural beauty. HISTORY With roots reaching deep into England’s early history, Bickington Barton occupies land first settled during the Saxon era and is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The property forms part of a rich rural heritage, in the company of other period homes and barn conversions, all built around the 15th-century village church — a timeless setting that has evolved gracefully through the centuries. Once owned by the Bickford family, a name long associated with local prosperity, the estate bears a proud connection to William Bickford, inventor of the pioneering Safety Fuse in 1831 — a creation that transformed the mining industry by drastically improving safety of the miners. Many of the home’s original architectural features remain beautifully preserved, including granite pillars and fireplaces, and an exquisite plank-and-muntin screen, each echoing the craftsmanship of a bygone age. The surrounding landscape tells its own story. Just down the lane, The Dartmoor Halfway Inn recalls a time when farmers transporting livestock to coastal market ports would rest overnight — drawn by the fertile land and natural wells that sustained travellers and animals alike. Today, gazing across the rolling fields, it is easy to imagine the scene centuries ago — animals grazing on the same rich pasture and the enduring rhythm of rural Devon life continuing much as it always has. STEP INSIDE Granite pillars herald the entrance to Bickington Barton, inviting you into a home where history and character are woven into every detail. Upon entering, the reception room immediately impresses, featuring a large fireplace, wooden flooring, and a window overlooking the picturesque garden, complete with fitted wooden shutters. A beautifully preserved plank-and-muntin screen adds further historic charm, creating a welcoming space that truly oozes character. Adjoining the reception room, a cozy snug offers an intimate retreat, with its own fireplace and traditional window shutters, perfect for quiet evenings. The living room is a statement of grandeur and warmth, boasting parquet flooring and another impressive fireplace with a feature inset arch to the side which the current owners , decorate with seasoned logs. A door from the living room leads directly to an external porch, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is a bright, inviting heart of the home, designed around space for a central kitchen table, ideal for family gatherings. Solid oak worktops and wooden units frame an electric AGA with electric module, complemented by a bespoke mantel. Original granite flooring and marble tops surrounding the sink lend timeless elegance. Adjacent, a utility room — originally the kitchen — provides practical washing facilities and leads to a spacious pantry housing large electric batteries (available by negotiation). The property also includes a boot room, with a range of units, ideal as kitchen overspill plus access to the rear courtyard so ideal for bringing in dirty boots and pets. A cloakroom adds convenience with attractive tiled flooring linking to the boot room. Ascending to the upper floors, the property offers six generously proportioned bedrooms, arranged around a split-level landing that reflects the home’s historic character. The main bedroom is a particularly impressive space, once likely two separate rooms, now offering a spacious retreat complete with a modern ensuite, dressing room, and breathtaking views across the surrounding Devon countryside. Five of the bedrooms enjoy stunning vistas, with windows overlooking the front and side of the house and the sweeping landscape beyond. To the rear of the house is a highly versatile space easily serving as a self-contained annex, with a large bedroom, adjoining sitting space, ensuite bathroom, and a private entrance from the courtyard, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental use. The main bathroom is elegantly appointed, featuring a sunken bath, and wooden flooring. SELLERS INSIGHT “When we first discovered Bickington Barton, we instantly fell in love with its rural tranquillity and timeless charm. We wanted something that felt truly remote — surrounded by countryside and nature — yet still close enough to everyday life. Here, we found that perfect balance. The house is just minutes from everything — the moors, the coast, and nearby towns — yet when you arrive, it feels as though you’re miles from anywhere. As a family, we needed to be near good schools and local amenities, and honestly, we didn’t think we’d find somewhere that offered both practicality and seclusion. Then we found Bickington Barton — and it changed everything. It’s so quiet and private, and the setting has given us a lifestyle we only ever dreamed of. We always wanted to try our hand at a smallholding, especially while the children were young enough to enjoy it, and this property gave us the confidence to do just that. It’s given us all a new lease of life — fresh air, space, and the joy of living in tune with the land. We adore the character and history of the house. It’s incredible to think of the generations who have lived here before us, and the many centuries of stories within these walls. Every quirky feature — from the granite pillars to the old plank-and-muntin screen — adds to its charm, and we’ve loved every single one of them. As the children grew, the space here has been a blessing — everyone has room to spread out without ever feeling on top of each other. The bedroom at the rear has been ideal for visiting family and later became a perfect space for our eldest son, giving him independence while still keeping him close. Outside there are no limitations, life flows easily between swimming in the pool during summer, lounging or working in the garden, or tending to the animals year-round. Living here has brought us such a healthy, balanced way of life, and we’ll always be grateful for the years we’ve spent as part of this incredible home’s story. Now, it’s time for someone else to fall in love with Bickington Barton and make their own story.” STEP OUTSIDE The front of Bickington Barton is approached via a private driveway, offering ample parking and a five-bar gate leading to the yard. A detached barn provides versatile storage and features an undercroft. Stone walling surrounds the garden, which is accessed via a picturesque gate leading to the front door. Multiple seating areas have been created to take full advantage of the stunning surrounding views, with raised decking offering a perfect vantage point to enjoy sunsets across the valley. The garden itself is beautifully maintained, with a lush lawn, mature trees, and a variety of sunlit spaces for relaxation. A gate from the garden leads to the heated swimming pool, powered by an air source heat pump, with a stone-built pump house tucked discreetly behind. Another gate opens into a secret walled garden, providing a private retreat enclosed by ancient stone walls. The rear of the property is highly practical, featuring a courtyard with direct access to the utility room, ideal for pets. A rear concreted yard connects to a listed former piggery, retaining cobbled flooring, original granite troughs, and visible runs where piglets would have moved from each sow — a rare and evocative glimpse into the property’s agricultural past. Stone-built stables comprise four spacious boxes and a tack room, all fitted with lighting, concrete troughs, and a water supply. Attached is a large workshop, with an upper floor hayloft providing additional barn space with level access to the rear yard. A fully fenced field lies behind the property, offering breathtaking views of Haytor Rocks and the village church, there is also an area of woodland and a large space, formally a substantial vegetable garden. The remainder of the land includes a large field to the south, with additional gated access from the lane, making the estate ideal for smallholding, equestrian pursuits, or leisure activities, while preserving total privacy and the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

House with garden and terrace Newton Abbot (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTION In an elevated position at the end of a long, private and gently meandering drive, Parklands enjoys a wonderfully discreet setting close to the heart of Lustleigh — widely regarded as one of Devon’s most picturesque villages. Positioned on the eastern fringes of Dartmoor National Park within the idyllic Wray Valley, the property offers a rare equilibrium: complete peace and seclusion, yet with swift access to the A38 and onward connections beyond. A handsome example of Victorian Gothic architecture, the house, which is not listed, immediately conveys both stature and permanence. Internally, the accommodation unfolds with the scale, symmetry and ceiling heights so emblematic of the period, creating a home of genuine architectural presence. Reception space is both generous and versatile, thoughtfully arranged to provide an excellent flow for family life and entertaining alike. The principal rooms are light-filled and beautifully proportioned, while the bedrooms are equally well-scaled, each enjoying captivating views across the mature gardens and rolling countryside beyond. The overriding sense of tranquillity is remarkable and can only truly be appreciated upon viewing. Throughout, high ceilings and balanced proportions are complemented by an abundance of original detail — exposed boarded flooring, decorative cornicing, picture and dado rails, traditional window shutters and elegant fireplace surrounds. Together, these elements celebrate the craftsmanship of the era, while the overall layout delivers the flexibility and practicality required for modern living. SELLERS INSIGHT “We have been incredibly fortunate to call Parklands home for more than thirty years, and it has truly been the most wonderful place to bring up our family. When we first arrived, we knew immediately that it was somewhere special — a house full of character, surrounded by beautiful grounds, and set in a landscape that feels endlessly inspiring. It quickly became our dream home. Our children have grown up here and absolutely flourished in this setting. There is something magical about living somewhere like this — the freedom of the gardens, the sense of adventure in the grounds, and the ever-changing landscape beyond. It offers everything you could hope for from a countryside home, and it has provided the backdrop to so many cherished memories as a family. One of the things we have loved most is the location. Lustleigh is such a special place and increasingly rare to find these days. There is a genuine sense of community in the village, and it’s something we’ve always valued enormously. Being able to walk into the village in just five or ten minutes has been a real joy — whether for the shop, meeting friends, or village events — yet when you return to Parklands, you feel completely removed from everything, as though you are a million miles away. The views are something we will miss deeply. Every window frames a different outlook across the gardens, trees and surrounding countryside. The landscape constantly changes — with the seasons, the light and even throughout the day — so there is always something beautiful to look at. Parklands has become such a part of us and our lives that it will always hold a very special place in our hearts. However, the time has come for a new chapter, and we hope another family will come here and start creating their own memories. We certainly know that we will never forget a single day of living here.” STEP INSIDE An original timber door leads into a practical sun/boot room with stone paved floor — an appropriate prelude to a house so intrinsically connected to its landscape. The hallway branches off to the ground floor accommodation. The principal drawing room enjoys French doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens, alongside an open fire that creates a natural focal point. A generous sitting room with bay window and log burner provides a second, equally inviting reception space. Across the hall lies a more intimate snug with wood burner and a library area — ideal as a reading retreat or creative space. At the heart of this family home is the impressive kitchen/dining room: a substantial, sociable space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with solid wooden units with a central island and four-oven AGA which anchors the room. Integrated appliances offer a clean finish. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining space and across to the sitting area with French doors that open onto the terrace, framing far-reaching views across the outstanding Dartmoor countryside. A rear lobby provides a useful alternative entrance from the driveway, ideal for practicalities such as bringing in groceries. A staircase leads down to a highly practical basement level, which feels nothing like a basement. It comprising a family room with natural light, utility/laundry room, wine cellar, extensive storage and a WC — perfectly suited to the rhythms of country living. Completing the ground floor is a spacious cloakroom. An ornate wooden staircase rises from the main hall to the first floor landing, a spacious area well-lit stemming to five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms providing excellent family accommodation, all with incredible views. The second floor offers two further characterful bedrooms and a shower room, together with generous eaves storage, lending flexibility for guests, multi-generational living or dedicated home working. STEP OUTSIDE If the house is impressive, the grounds are truly exceptional. Totalling 9 acres, extending around the property in a series of mature, landscaped areas, they provide an idyllic and entirely private setting. Sweeping lawns are punctuated by magnificent granite boulders — including the striking Parklands Tor — and interspersed with specimen trees, spring bulbs and an abundance of camellia, azalea and rhododendron. The land encompasses formal gardens, a paddock, parkland and areas of woodland, offering both beauty and biodiversity in equal measure. A charming collection of ancillary buildings enhances the estate’s appeal: a thatched garage block, thatched stables and a delightful timber summerhouse. For leisure, there is a hard tennis court complete with a thatched pavilion — a quintessentially English feature within a Dartmoor landscape. The private drive continues beyond the house to provide a secondary exit onto Hammerslake Road — a practical advantage rarely found in such secluded settings.

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Combe Barn occupies a wonderful position on the edge of Lustleigh, one of Dartmoor’s most sought after villages. Set within approximately 8.30 acres of garden, paddock and woodland, the property offers a superb combination of space, privacy, village access and immediate access to the surrounding countryside. The house itself is far larger than it first appears, extending to approximately 5,358 sq ft and providing generous, flexible accommodation arranged over two principal levels. With five double bedrooms, impressive reception space, a striking vaulted living room and lovely views across the wooded valley, this is a substantial home in a very special Dartmoor setting. The current owners acquired Combe Barn in 2007 with planning consent in place to demolish and build a new dwelling. Rather than lose the character of the original barn, they saw the potential to retain and rebuild the barn element while adding a significant new wing. The project was completed in 2009, creating the spacious and individual home seen today. The Inside The approach to the house leads to an impressive covered entrance, opening into a large hallway. From here, the scale of the property quickly becomes apparent. There is a wide staircase rising to the first floor, a cloakroom, and excellent space for coats, boots and everyday country living.

Two sets of doors open directly onto the terrace, where the outlook stretches across the wooded valley beyond. Beyond the living room is a substantial games room, currently arranged with a full-sized snooker table. This is a wonderfully versatile space and could suit a variety of uses depending on lifestyle. From here there is access to a further bedroom, an office and a bathroom, with a staircase leading up to the kitchen area. On the first floor, the galleried landing overlooks the living room below and leads into the kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and enjoys views out over the grounds and down the valley. A door also provides direct access outside, adding practicality to the layout. An opening leads through to the dining room, another generous space with a window to the side, three rooflights and a glazed wall overlooking the living room. It creates an enjoyable connection between the main living areas while still giving each space its own identity. At the other end of the landing are three large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a staircase leading down to a particularly large bathroom and dressing room, creating a private suite with excellent proportions. The Outside For those who enjoy the outdoors, Combe Barn offers a wonderful amount of space and variety. The property sits in approximately 8.30 acres, made up of gardens, paddock and woodland, giving a real sense of privacy and freedom. The terrace is positioned to make the most of the views across the valley and provides a lovely place to sit, eat outside or simply enjoy the surroundings. From the land, you can walk through towards the community orchard and into the village, which adds enormously to the lifestyle appeal of the property. There are two driveways, a garage and an old stable, currently used for storage. The mix of garden, woodland, paddock and outbuildings gives the property flexibility, whether for family life, outdoor hobbies, animals, or simply enjoying a quieter Dartmoor lifestyle. Location Lustleigh is one of Dartmoor’s most attractive and popular villages, known for its pretty period homes, strong community, surrounding countryside and access to some of the National Park’s finest walking routes. From Combe Barn, the village centre can be reached on foot in around 10 minutes. Here you will find the village pub, church, community shop and post office, tea rooms and the community orchard. Walking down along the leat brings you to the cricket pitch, while continuing further opens up some of the area’s best countryside routes. For those who enjoy walking, riding or simply being outside, the location is superb. Lustleigh Cleave, Wrayland, Hisley Bridge, the river valley, Foxworthy and Manaton are all part of the wider landscape that makes this part of Dartmoor so loved. It is an exceptional place for those who want a genuine village and countryside lifestyle. Despite the rural feel, the property is not isolated. Exeter is approximately 20 miles away and the M5 can be reached in under 30 minutes. Newton Abbot is around a 20-minute drive and provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and everyday amenities, as well as a mainline railway station with services to London Paddington taking from approximately 2.5 hours.

Originally built in 1927, the property enjoys a remarkable setting where far-reaching countryside views, golden sunsets and an ever-changing natural backdrop create an exceptional sense of peace and wellbeing. Set within beautifully established gardens of rare scale, Aboveways offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find — a home immersed in nature, yet just a short five-minute stroll from the vibrant village centre and its celebrated community spirit. The property has been thoughtfully arranged to embrace its surroundings, with every room and window drawing the outside in. Whether enjoying morning coffee overlooking the gardens, entertaining in the grounds, or simply watching the evening light settle across the valley, the connection between home and landscape is ever-present. Combining timeless character, flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, and extraordinary outdoor space, Aboveways is a truly special Dartmoor home. SELLERS INSIGHT “One of the first things that completely sold the house to us was the garden and the view. The moment we arrived, we were captivated by the openness, the incredible light and the far-reaching outlook across the valley. Being positioned on the light side of the valley makes such a difference — the house is constantly filled with sunshine and the sunsets are simply breathtaking. We often joke that we bought the garden with a house attached. The garden has been at the centre of so much of our life here. It has become a real gathering place for family and friends and we have spent countless afternoons and evenings socialising outdoors, moving between the different seating areas and simply enjoying being surrounded by nature. Our grandchildren absolutely adore it here — they even call it ‘Nanny’s park’ because there is so much space to explore and play. We also spend a huge amount of time in the conservatory. The views are incredible throughout the seasons and it always feels connected to the garden and landscape beyond. There is constantly something changing outside, whether it’s the planting, the wildlife or the shifting light across the valley. The guest suite has worked brilliantly for us over the years too. Friends and family can enjoy their own independence from the main house while still feeling connected, and everyone who stays immediately falls in love with the peaceful atmosphere here. Lustleigh itself is incredibly special and has such a genuine sense of community, which is becoming harder and harder to find nowadays. There is always something happening, whether it’s events at the village hall, the history society, pilates, yoga, badminton, quizzes or the gardening society. It is such a warm and welcoming place for all ages. It’s also wonderful for family life. The preschool is lovely, there are beautiful walks from the doorstep, and the village orchard — generously donated to the community — is such a special feature. We’ve loved having easy access to running, cycling and dog walking routes stretching towards Moretonhampstead and across Dartmoor. Despite feeling wonderfully rural and peaceful, the location is incredibly convenient too, with easy access to the A30 and A38, making the coast, London and even Cornwall surprisingly accessible. Aboveways has given us the best of everything — community, nature, privacy, views and a home that constantly draws you outdoors. It is going to be incredibly difficult to leave.” STEP INSIDE A small entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway where wooden flooring and the staircase rising to the first floor immediately set the tone for the home’s warm and characterful interior. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed in a timeless country style, combining traditional charm with practical modern living. Modern cabinetry is paired with manufactured granite work surfaces, while multiple windows flood the room with natural light and frame delightful garden outlooks. Features include a Leisure electric range oven, integrated dishwasher, inset one and a half stainless steel sink and an open pantry area, creating a wonderfully sociable and functional heart to the home. A stable door provides direct access to the side pathway and gardens beyond, reinforcing the home’s seamless connection to the outdoors. Leading from the kitchen is a useful utility and storage room continuing through to a beautifully practical shower room complete with butler sink, washing machine facilities and additional stable door access to the garden — ideal after days spent outdoors enjoying the surrounding countryside. The principal living room is an inviting and atmospheric space centred around a woodburning stove, with uninterrupted views stretching across the valley and surrounding countryside. The room offers ample space for both relaxed seating and formal dining, while an elegant archway leads through to a cosy snug area and onwards into the conservatory. With tiled flooring, panoramic garden and countryside views, and doors opening directly onto the terrace, this space becomes a natural extension of the outdoors and an idyllic setting from which to enjoy the changing light and spectacular sunsets. From the living room, an inner hallway with understairs storage and cloakroom leads to a generous ground floor double bedroom suite. Perfectly arranged for guests or independent living, the room enjoys direct access onto the decked terrace and is complemented by an ensuite shower room featuring a large walk-in shower. Upstairs, a bright landing illuminated by a Velux window leads to the remaining bedrooms. The principal bedroom is undoubtedly one of the home’s standout spaces, featuring wooden flooring, extensive full-width fitted storage and dual-aspect windows that perfectly capture the breath-taking valley views. The main window opens directly onto the property’s most iconic outlook, creating the feeling of being completely immersed in the surrounding landscape. Bedroom two is a spacious double room enjoying beautiful countryside views and featuring an ornate decorative fireplace, while bedroom three benefits from dual-aspect windows and an abundance of natural light. The family bathroom is bright and generously proportioned, with useful eaves storage adding practicality, while a separate cloakroom completes the first-floor accommodation. STEP OUTSIDE The gardens at Aboveways are undoubtedly one of the property’s defining features, lovingly cultivated over many years, the grounds unfold into a series of enchanting spaces, each with its own atmosphere and purpose. A sweeping lawn, formally a tennis court — unusually level for the village — create an immediate sense of openness and usability, while pathways meander through an extraordinary variety of mature planting, seasonal colour, and established borders. Numerous seating areas have been thoughtfully positioned to capture different aspects of the garden, from quiet shaded corners to spectacular sunset viewpoints overlooking the valley. An orchard and productive vegetable garden further enhance the lifestyle appeal, creating a wonderful balance between beauty and practicality, while the overall setting encourages a slower pace of life immersed in nature. There is ample parking on the driveway which continues to a car port and on to a second entrance, with full access via the neighbouring driveway. There is also a detached garage within the grounds, inaccessible to vehicles, but ideal for storage. Just beyond the property is a public footpath leading to the centre of the Village, just 5 minutes away. Above all else, the gardens offer an extraordinary sense of tranquillity and connection to the landscape — a place where birdsong, changing light and far-reaching views become part of daily life.

House with garden and terrace Newton Abbot (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTION Little Wolleigh is anything but little. This Grade II listed, 16th-century farmhouse stands proudly within its grounds on the outskirts of Bovey Tracey, perfectly placed on the approach to Dartmoor National Park. A property of true character and substance, it was sympathetically extended in the 1930s, blending timeless period features with modern touches. Inside, the home offers six generous bedrooms and three reception rooms, creating versatile spaces for family living and entertaining. Set in just over 3 acres, the grounds are as enchanting as the house itself, with formal gardens, orchards, and woodland to explore. A range of outbuildings adds further appeal, including a detached barn with store and hayloft, a large greenhouse, a two-storey barn, and an additional barn—ideal for a variety of uses. While steeped in history, Little Wolleigh embraces modern sustainable living. A biomass boiler, solar thermal water system, and solar panels provide an impressive low-carbon footprint, plus fibre throughout the premises including the art studio, ensures this period gem remains as practical as it is picturesque. STEP INSIDE Approaching the house, you’re greeted by a substantial front door—likely original—set within a striking granite surround, a fine example of the history woven into this property. You enter into the dining room, where oak panelling sets a rich tone. From here, the accommodation flows into the living room, your eye immediately drawn to the impressive fireplace with large wood burner and parquet flooring. A third reception room showcases exposed wooden beams, adding to the farmhouse character. The layout is both generous and practical, with two staircases connecting the old and newer parts of the house. A large cloakroom/store and a utility room provide excellent everyday functionality. The kitchen is the heart of the home. Extended to create a luxurious cooking, dining, and entertaining space, it is designed with modern family life in mind. A box window overlooks the gardens, while French doors open onto a side patio leading to the greenhouse—perfect when cooking with fresh produce. A wood burner adds warmth and atmosphere in the cooler months. Refitted in 2021, the kitchen combines traditional charm with modern convenience, featuring wooden worktops, ample storage units, a twin butler sink, space for a fridge/freezer, an integrated dishwasher, and a large range oven (available by negotiation). From here, an inner hallway leads to a store room, door to the driveway and a sizeable utility room, perfectly suited to busy family living. Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The first floor is arranged across both the original farmhouse and the later extension, linked by a wide, light-filled landing with wooden floors. The principal bedroom is substantial, with built-in wardrobes and beautiful garden views. Its en-suite bathroom—also accessible from the landing—features a freestanding bath set before a picture window, a large walk-in shower, and charming curved walls, reflecting the property’s age and character. Bedrooms two and three, in the original part of the house, are generous doubles, while bedrooms four, five, and six all enjoy countryside views. A modern shower room completes the accommodation. SELLERS INSIGHT “When we first came to Little Wolleigh, we were looking for space, seclusion, and the freedom to live and work creatively. Having always lived with neighbours close by, we wanted somewhere private yet still near amenities—and this home gave us exactly that. The outbuilding has been the perfect art studio, while the extensive gardens have provided endless opportunities for our children and animals to grow, play, and explore. It feels so special that the house blends so naturally into the countryside; you’d hardly know it was here. There’s always a sunny spot to sit, and the orchard and trees have been a constant source of joy for us. We love being so close to the Moors—ideal for walking our dogs. The landscape is breathtaking in every season, from snowy winter walks to summer days on nearby beaches. The eco-friendly features have been a real benefit—our borehole, biomass boiler, and solar panels mean the house is comfortable all year round with a low environmental footprint. The flexible layout has worked brilliantly for us, with bedrooms swapping as the children grew, and plenty of space for guests who love having their own area. This home has been the backdrop to so many memories: hosting home education groups of 30–40 children, bird of prey camps, birthdays, and visits from local people who remember playing here in their childhood. There’s ample parking, excellent fibre connection (even in the studio), and the outbuildings have given us incredible opportunities for work and hobbies. We will especially miss the magnificent Copper Beech tree at the centre of the garden—it has always felt like the heart of this special place.” STEP OUTSIDE The grounds, extending to just over 3 acres, are nothing short of enchanting. A gardener’s dream, they are divided into distinct areas of interest, filled with fruit trees—The ancient orchard has dozens of apples, alongside pear, plum, quince and fig. A fenced enclosure is ideal for chickens or small livestock. In one direction lies the site of a former swimming pool, now reimagined with a thatched roof structure used as a seating area with patio space and box hedging, perfect for gatherings. Stone steps create a charming amphitheatre-style feature, which has been used for events such as home education groups. A bridge over a lily pond continues the journey through the grounds, with hedging marking the boundaries and ensuring privacy. The outbuildings are equally impressive. A large detached, listed barn with mezzanine (once a hayloft) and adjoining store offers huge versatility. A further outbuilding, currently used as a home office, enjoys triple-aspect windows and bifold doors, a cloakroom, and kitchenette—ideal for work or hobbies. A door leads to a store room housing the water filteration system and stairs to an attic room providing additional storage. Another barn houses the biomass boiler, alongside further store rooms, ideal as a workshop or home gym. A large greenhouse finishes the outbuildings, with a pump to regulate temperature it’s an ideal environment for home growing all year round. A formal garden with luscious lawn provides an idyllic area to enjoy the sunshine and views of the countryside surrounding the property. There is ample parking on the driveway with double gated access, plus further gated parking near the detached barn with access directly to the road; ideal for additional parking for visitors or parking a caravan/boat. Together, the house and grounds provide an exceptional balance of period charm, modern living, and sustainable practicality.

Contemporary house with garden and terrace Bovey Tracey (United Kingdom)
Introduction 12 Hawkmoor Parke occupies a superb position within an exclusive private estate between Lustleigh and Bovey Tracey, surrounded by open countryside and the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor National Park. The house is set centrally within its grounds and enjoys a peaceful setting with no passing traffic, while remaining exceptionally well connected to Exeter, Plymouth, the South Hams and Cornwall. The accommodation is generous and well balanced, with excellent reception space, four bedrooms and an attached four car garage. A southerly aspect floods the house with natural light throughout the day, while the elevated position provides far-reaching views across the moor and surrounding woodland. This is a home that offers both lifestyle and practicality in equal measure. The Sellers Story What first drew us here were the views. They stretch right across the National Park and out over the moor, and they are never the same twice. The light is constantly changing, and there is a real sense of openness that you notice the moment you arrive. With its southerly aspect, the house is filled with natural light throughout the day, yet in the evenings the stillness returns. On clear nights, the stars are extraordinary and even the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye. Despite the sense of space and privacy, the house never feels isolated. There is no passing traffic, just peace and quiet, and a wonderful feeling of being immersed in the landscape of the National Park. From the garden, you can step straight out onto countless walking routes, and it is not unusual to see buzzards circling overhead or deer moving quietly through the surrounding woodland. Day to day living here has always felt easy. Bovey Tracey is just a short distance away with all the amenities we need, and the access is excellent. The A382, A38 and A30 are all close by, meaning there are no narrow lanes to contend with. Exeter, Plymouth, the beaches and villages of the South Hams, and Cornwall are all within straightforward reach, making this a wonderfully connected location while still feeling tucked away. The house itself has been a joy to live in. In warmer months, we love being able to open it up and blur the line between inside and out, with the terrace becoming a natural extension of the living space. In winter, it is just as special. Closing the doors, lighting the log burner and settling in as the evenings draw in. The rooms are generous and well proportioned, so the house never feels cramped, whether it is full of family or friends. Our favourite room is the family room, a wonderfully social space where you can enjoy the views and step out onto the terrace through the large bi fold doors. In warm summer weather, opening the windows creates a gentle through breeze, making it a very comfortable home to live in. We have also been fortunate to have friendly, considerate neighbours nearby. Close enough to feel part of a community, yet with plenty of space around us to retain privacy and tranquillity. It is a rare balance, and one that has made living here truly special. The Inside The accommodation at 12 Hawkmoor Parke is generous, well balanced and arranged for both everyday living and entertaining. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, all designed to take full advantage of the southerly aspect and far-reaching views. The sitting room is dual aspect and features a modern wood burner, creating a comfortable space to retreat to in cooler months. The contemporary kitchen forms the heart of the home and opens seamlessly into the dining and family room, making it ideal for both family life and hosting. Large openings connect these principal rooms directly to the terrace, allowing the house to open up to the outside during warmer weather. A separate study provides an excellent home-working environment and benefits from full fibre broadband (FTTP). Practicality is well considered, with a utility room and ground floor WC, along with direct access into the attached four car garage. On the first floor, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is dual aspect, enjoying far-reaching views and ample storage, and includes a private en suite bathroom. A further guest bedroom also benefits from an en suite, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a generous family bathroom. The Outside The property is set centrally within its grounds of approximately 1.24 acres and enjoys an elevated position within this private National Park estate. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees and established planting, creating a strong sense of privacy and space around the house. A terrace flanks the property and is directly accessed from the principal living areas, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying the surrounding views. The gardens offer immediate access onto a network of countryside and moorland walks, with Lustleigh and Bovey Tracey both within walking distance. From a practical perspective, the property benefits from an attached four car garage with workspace, an electric vehicle charging point, and two substantial garden sheds providing further storage. The setting is peaceful and quiet, with no passing traffic, yet the house remains well connected with straightforward access to the A382, A38 and A30. Location Hawkmoor Parke is ideally located between the villages of Lustleigh and Bovey Tracey, within a private and exclusive estate. To the north and south lie the market towns of Moretonhampstead and Bovey Tracey, both offering a full range of everyday amenities. Dartmoor is renowned for its spectacular scenery, characterised by granite tors, heather-clad moorland and wooded valleys, all interwoven with fast-flowing rivers and streams. The surrounding countryside provides exceptional opportunities for walking, riding, cycling and fishing. Golf facilities are well catered for, with 18-hole courses at Bovey Castle and Stover, alongside a driving range and 9-hole course at Bovey Tracey. The nearby village of Lustleigh is particularly charming, with many historic buildings and a strong sense of community. Local amenities include a village shop and post office, tea rooms and the highly regarded Cleave Inn. Lustleigh also benefits from an active village hall and cricket club. A wider range of services can be found in Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead, while the Cathedral and University City of Exeter lies less than 20 miles away. The area is well served by both state and independent schooling, including Exeter School, The Maynard School, Stover School, Trinity School in Teignmouth and respected grammar schools in Torbay.

Farmhouse with garden Totnes (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTION Set within approximately two acres of idyllic South Hams countryside, Harbourne Valley Farm presents a rare and versatile lifestyle opportunity on the edge of the sought-after village of Harbertonford. Combining the charm of a characterful 200-year-old farm house with the flexibility of a beautifully converted barn, this unique offering is perfectly suited to multigenerational living, income generation, or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat with exceptional adaptability. The principal farm house is deceptively spacious, offering three-bedroom accommodation rich in warmth and character, while the detached barn conversion—thoughtfully converted in the early 2000s—provides an additional two/three-bedroom residence with its own distinct personality and style. Complementing the accommodation further is a detached garden studio, ideal for home working, creative pursuits, guest overflow or wellness space. Surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying a tranquil yet highly convenient setting, Harbourne Valley Farm captures the essence of rural South Devon living. The property enjoys excellent access to the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park, the stunning South Hams coastline and beaches, whilst remaining within easy reach of nearby market towns and commuter routes connecting across Devon. The versatility here is exceptional. Whether utilised as two independent homes for extended family, as a home with ancillary accommodation for holiday letting or income potential, or reconfigured into one substantial residence (subject to any necessary consents), Harbourne Valley Farm offers a lifestyle opportunity rarely found in such a well-connected countryside setting. There is also potential opportunity to acquire additional adjoining land, further enhancing the appeal for those seeking a smallholding, equestrian potential or simply greater privacy and space. Both homes enjoy their own unique charm and atmosphere, creating a wonderful balance between period character and modern country living in one of the South Hams’ most desirable village settings. SELLERS INSIGHT “When we found Harbourne Valley Farm, we knew almost immediately that it was something incredibly special. We had spent over a year searching for the right setup for ourselves and my parents, but everything we viewed seemed to offer a lovely main house with only a very small annexe attached. What we really wanted was two proper homes — equal in size, quality and comfort — where we could all enjoy independence whilst still being close enough to support one another. That proved surprisingly difficult to find, until we arrived here. Moving from London, we were searching for a completely different pace of life — the ‘good life’ people dream about. We wanted space, countryside, nature and somewhere our son could grow up surrounded by the outdoors. Watching him explore the land, enjoy the wildlife and simply have the freedom to be outside has been incredibly special for us as a family. Of course, we wanted views too — who doesn’t? But equally, we didn’t want to feel completely isolated. Harbourne Valley Farm somehow manages to strike the perfect balance. You feel wonderfully private and immersed in the countryside, without feeling cut off from the world. There’s such a peaceful atmosphere here and a real sense of quiet enjoyment. Even though the property is conveniently positioned for easy access in and out of Totnes and the surrounding area, once you are within the grounds it feels remarkably secluded and calm. We absolutely love being just five minutes from Totnes. It’s such a vibrant and spirited town with so much character. My parents especially love being close to the Dartington Trust — they are members there and spend so much time enjoying the grounds, café and art programmes. Having that nearby has become a huge part of their lifestyle here. The setup of the homes has worked brilliantly for us. We each have our own space and independence because the properties are detached, yet we are close enough to help one another whenever needed. It has been the perfect multigenerational arrangement. The privacy here is also something we’ve always appreciated. The electric gates and long driveway create such a wonderful sense of arrival and security. You never have people passing your front door, and once you’re home, you really do feel tucked away in your own peaceful world. This home has given us exactly the lifestyle we hoped for when we left London — space, freedom, nature, family connection and a sense of calm that is very hard to leave behind.” STEP INSIDE THE FARM HOUSE The original farm house sits proudly in front of the barn, overlooking an attractive garden and adjoining open farmers’ fields, immediately capturing the quintessential charm of an English country home. Constructed from beautiful rendered stone and dating back over 200 years, the farm house enjoys an unmistakably picturesque appearance, perfectly in keeping with its idyllic South Hams surroundings. A welcoming entrance porch opens into the heart of the home, where the farm house’s warmth and character are immediately apparent. The principal reception room centres around a striking dual-sided fireplace set within a painted exposed stone wall, creating a natural focal point enjoyed from both the main sitting room and the adjoining snug or reading room beyond. These connected spaces offer a cosy yet sociable atmosphere, ideal for quieter evenings or relaxed entertaining, while the surrounding windows frame delightful views across the gardens and countryside beyond. Stairs rise from the reception room to the first floor, while a doorway leads through to the dining room where the true scale of the farm house begins to reveal itself. This in turn flows into a generous country-style kitchen, thoughtfully fitted with modern cabinetry and warm wooden worktops that complement the home’s period character beautifully. The kitchen provides ample space for everyday family life whilst maintaining a timeless countryside aesthetic. Beyond the kitchen, a useful utility room offers additional practicality with direct access to the courtyard, alongside a well-appointed shower room ideally suited to muddy boots, dogs returning from countryside walks or visiting guests. Throughout, the interiors have been tastefully and neutrally decorated, allowing the charm of the farm house itself to take centre stage. Upstairs, the farm house continues to impress with three comfortable double bedrooms, each enjoying peaceful outlooks across the surrounding countryside and grounds. A well-presented family bathroom serves the accommodation, completing a home that successfully blends period character with practical modern living. Despite its charming farm house façade, the property offers surprisingly generous accommodation throughout, creating a home that feels both intimate and spacious in equal measure. STEP INSIDE THE BARN The detached barn conversion offers a wonderful contrast to the traditional farm house, blending rustic architectural character with a more contemporary, almost art deco-inspired aesthetic. Converted in the early 2000s, the barn has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate volume, light and texture, resulting in a home that feels both creative and inviting. At its heart is a striking principal reception room where exposed stone walls, warm wooden flooring and a corner wood burning stove combine to create an atmosphere that is both cosy and dramatic. A concealed cloakroom allows the design to remain clean and uncluttered. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the impressive split-level kitchen and dining space, undoubtedly one of the barn’s standout features. Beautifully arranged with modern country-style cabinetry and tiled flooring, the kitchen balances practicality with character. A few steps rise to the elevated dining area where the full architectural impact of the barn is revealed. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and an expansive feature window flood the space with natural light and frame enchanting views across the surrounding greenery, creating an uplifting and highly sociable environment for both everyday living and entertaining. The barn’s versatility continues from the living space to a room, rich in character with exposed stone walls, this flexible space could serve equally well as a bedroom, second reception room, studio or guest accommodation, with direct access leading through to the garden room and out into the surrounding grounds. Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a wonderfully peaceful outlook, with doors opening onto a Juliet balcony perfectly positioned to take in the far-reaching countryside views — a beautiful scene to wake up to each morning. A second bedroom, complete with cabin bed and Velux window, adds further charm and practicality, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation. Throughout the barn, there is a wonderful interplay between old and new; exposed beams and stonework sit comfortably alongside clean contemporary finishes, creating a home with immense personality, warmth and flexibility. STEP OUTSIDE Approached from the road through electric gates, a long private driveway passes the grounds on either side, past generous parking areas—including an additional parking space positioned towards the top of the driveway—with the paddock to one side and gardens to the other, creating an immediate sense of arrival and rural seclusion. The farm house itself enjoys a quintessentially charming setting, fronted by a neat lawn enclosed by traditional stone walling and complemented by a delightful seating area perfectly positioned to enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. An external stone staircase rises to the former hayloft, currently providing excellent storage space, yet also offering intriguing potential to become integral to the cottage accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. Connecting the farm house and barn is a shared courtyard. Equally suited as a sociable communal area or capable of being adapted to provide greater separation and privacy between the two residences if desired, this central courtyard creates a wonderful flow between the buildings. Additional tucked-away seating areas are dotted throughout the grounds, each thoughtfully positioned to capture the sunshine and take in the beautiful countryside views at different times of day. The gardens continue to unfold around the barn conversion, where a lawn extends to the side and rear, creating an idyllic outdoor setting for entertaining, family gatherings or quiet relaxation. A raised decked terrace provides an elevated vantage point across the surrounding landscape, perfectly placed for evening drinks, outdoor dining or simply appreciating the peaceful rural outlook. Beyond lies the garden studio, complete with power, lighting and a shower room, offering exceptional versatility. Whether utilised as guest accommodation, a creative studio, home office, wellness space or holiday let potential, it provides yet another layer of flexibility to this already highly adaptable property. The acreage extends predominantly to the eastern side of the property, creating a wonderfully natural environment ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, families, smallholding aspirations or simply those seeking space and freedom. A blend of meadow and open grassland has been thoughtfully maintained with pathways cut through the land for gentle walks and exploration, while a small area of woodland further enhances the sense of privacy and connection to nature. From many points within the grounds, there are far-reaching countryside views that reinforce the feeling of being immersed in the South Hams landscape. For buyers seeking even greater acreage or lifestyle potential, the adjoining land is understood to be owned by a local individual who may be open to discussions regarding the sale of additional land, presenting an exciting opportunity to expand the holding further if desired.

House with garden and terrace Exeter (United Kingdom)
Introduction Canonteign Manor is one of Devon’s most remarkable historic houses, set within around 10 acres in the beautiful Teign Valley. Grade I Listed and with origins reaching back centuries, it offers exceptional scale, character and presence, together with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. With its ancient stonework, mullion windows, granite fireplaces, grand reception spaces and wonderfully private grounds, it is a significant and atmospheric country property. Canonteign Manor was used as a private residential dwelling for many years prior to its change of use and, subject to the necessary planning consent, could once again make a wonderful home. Before arranging a viewing or making enquiries, interested parties should be aware of the current permitted use of the property, which is explained below. Planning Information Canonteign Manor is currently permitted for use as Sui Generis Holiday Let. The current owners obtained planning permission in 2019 to change the use of the property from C3 Residential Dwelling House to its present holiday let use. As such, buyers should be aware that the property is not currently permitted for unrestricted residential occupation as a C3 dwelling. Should a buyer wish to use Canonteign Manor as a private residential home, a change of use planning application would be required. By Design has contact with experienced planning consultants who are familiar with matters of this nature, and further guidance can be made available to interested parties should they require it. Buyers should make their own enquiries and take independent planning advice before proceeding. History A Domesday Manor, Canonteign was given to the canons of St Mary du Val in Normandy circa 1125 and later conveyed to the Prior and convent of Merton, in Surrey. After the Reformation it was granted to Lord John Russell and then passed through a series of owners. It was garrisoned for the King during the Civil War and taken by Fairfax in 1645. According to Lysons, it belonged to the Davy family in the 17th century. In 1812, Sir Edward Pellew, later Lord Viscount Exmouth, purchased the manor and it became a farm after 1828 when Exmouth built Canonteign House close by. It was restored by Lady Exmouth in the 1970s and, during recent years, the ancient house has been brought into the 21st century with extensive and sympathetic renovation. Today, Canonteign Manor is an extraordinary and beautifully maintained historic property, combining the character of its 400-year-old origins with the comfort and convenience of modern technology. It has been sympathetically cared for to ensure it continues to stand proudly for decades to come. Interior The real magic of Canonteign Manor is its generously proportioned and elegant rooms, which, although lit from mullion windows, are both tall and light. Most of the principal rooms have a focal point of a granite fireplace and enjoy spectacular views across the valley of the River Teign. From the main entrance, you step into the dining hall, an impressive space by anyone’s standards. With a stone floor, intricate wood panelling on the walls and beautiful stone mullion windows, it is a very special space indeed, with a substantial dining table which comfortably seats twenty guests. A large open fireplace provides a beautiful focal point. Moving through the dining hall, there is access into the cloakroom and rear entrance. There is also a staircase to the first floor. The kitchen has been very well designed to fill a large space without it feeling overwhelming. There is a large central island and plenty of storage. The AGA sits on one side of the room and the owner has added a large oven and hob to the other.

INTRODUCTION Meadow Court is an exceptional example of contemporary country living at its finest. Designed by an award-winning developer, this impressive home offers over 4,000 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, including six bedrooms and four versatile reception rooms, with the flexibility to create a self-contained annex if desired. Set within formal landscaped gardens with incredible views and a private tennis court, the property is perfectly tailored for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike. For those looking for equestrian facilities there is five acres of adjoining land plus a substantial stable block available by separate negotiation. Occupying a prime position on the edge of the thriving town of Chudleigh, with easy access to Exeter, Meadow Court enjoys sweeping countryside views while remaining moments from major transport links—offering the ideal balance of rural seclusion and modern convenience. SELLERS INSIGHT “We purchased the land where Meadow Court now stands over 20 years ago. At the time, we had viewed the house next door and fell in love with the location — the peaceful countryside setting, the stunning views, and the proximity to the vibrant town of Chudleigh. When that property sold before we could make an offer, we thought we'd missed our chance. But as fate would have it, the seller also owned the neighbouring barns. As award-winning developers, we saw the potential immediately and were thrilled to have the opportunity to create something truly bespoke. From the very beginning, Meadow Court was a passion project — carefully designed to make the most of the views, the light, and the incredible setting. Over the years, it’s been the perfect home for both family life and entertaining. We've hosted countless special occasions here, from lively social gatherings to Christmases with the entire family gathered around the table in the dining hall — a space that has truly been the heart of our home. What we’ll miss most is the generous flow of the house — how the spaces connect so naturally and how the principal rooms are all filled with light and look out over countryside. The underfloor heating has kept the home comfortable all year round, and the fresh spring water supply is something you come to truly appreciate. Our children had a magical childhood here — playing in the gardens, racing across the lawn, and enjoying the rare luxury of their own tennis court. The surrounding fields have given us the feeling of space and privacy. We’ll miss the sun-drenched terrace, where we’ve enjoyed morning coffees, long summer evenings, and those unforgettable sunsets — especially in the winter months when the skies light up with brilliant red hues. Meadow Court has given us two decades of memories, and now it’s time for a new chapter, we know it’s ready for someone else to fall in love with it, just as we did.” STEP INSIDE The property is approached via a charming, cobbled courtyard, enclosed by attractive stone walling that immediately sets a tone of rustic elegance. A storm porch shelters the front door, with yellow climbing roses cascading beautifully around the entrance — a welcoming burst of colour against the perfect blend of natural stonework and contrasting cream render. A covered log store adds to the practicality and character of the courtyard, which exudes a sense of peaceful, timeless charm — offering just a glimpse of the unique atmosphere that defines this exceptional home. You enter into a truly stunning dining hall, a magnificent 30-foot space that immediately delivers a 'wow' factor. Exceptional in design, the room features a soaring vaulted ceiling, beautiful exposed wooden beams, and a solid wood floor, all framed by floor-to-ceiling oak windows that flood the space with natural light and offer captivating views over the grounds. A partial glass roof enhances the sense of openness and architectural flair, setting the scene for the quality and craftsmanship found throughout the home. An elegant staircase ascends to the first floor. From the very first step inside, it is clear this is a property in a class of its own. Flowing from the dining hall, the carpeted sitting room provides a warm and intimate retreat — a cosy, inviting space, ideal for curling up with a book or enjoying quiet family evenings. The generous farmhouse-style kitchen is a welcoming space bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows and two sets of patio doors that open directly onto the garden. Tiled flooring and handcrafted wooden units, including a central island with granite worktops, blend timeless charm with modern functionality.

Off the hallway, a further cloakroom and a well-equipped utility room provide practical touches, featuring authentic York stone flooring, fitted cupboards, and plumbing for washing facilities.

House with terrace Saltash (United Kingdom)
Set in a remarkable position on the banks of the River Tamar, Tamar Bank is an exceptional waterside residence offering direct access to the shoreline below, outstanding river views and a rare connection with one of Cornwall’s most historic waterfront settings. Believed to date back to the mid-19th century, the property occupies a commanding position along Old Ferry Road and enjoys approximately 20 metres of water frontage. It is a home of genuine character, scale and atmosphere, with its outlook, history and setting combining to create a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. From the changing tides and passing boats to the far-reaching views across the Tamar, River Tavy and towards the Tamar Bridge and Royal Albert Bridge, Tamar Bank is a property where the waterside position is not simply a backdrop, but a defining part of everyday life. The House The accommodation is generous, elegant and highly versatile, arranged to suit family life, entertaining, home working and multi-generational living. A grand entrance hall creates an immediate sense of arrival and leads through to a series of well-proportioned reception spaces. The main sitting room provides a comfortable and welcoming space, complete with a wood burner, while the formal dining room is ideal for family gatherings and more formal entertaining. One of the standout rooms is the triple-aspect sunroom, which takes full advantage of the position and frames wonderful views across the water towards the River Tavy, the Tamar Bridge and Brunel’s Royal Albert Bridge. The kitchen is a tremendous space, well appointed and designed as a practical yet sociable heart of the home, with a fitted utility room positioned nearby. Also on the ground floor is a further bedroom or study, offering excellent flexibility for those working from home, accommodating guests or seeking a more adaptable layout. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, with internal access also leading through to the double garage. On the first floor, four well-proportioned double bedrooms continue the sense of space. The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, featuring a dressing area and en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Throughout the home, the river views provide a constant reminder of the property’s exceptional setting. The lower ground floor offers three versatile basement rooms, providing useful additional space and scope for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents. This area could appeal to buyers seeking storage, hobby space, a workshop, home office potential or further lifestyle accommodation. History Tamar Bank is a home with a fascinating history, believed by the current owners to date from around 1841. Its position on Old Ferry Road places it within one of Saltash’s most atmospheric riverside settings, overlooking a landscape shaped by river travel, maritime activity and the historic crossing between Cornwall and Devon. One of the early owners is understood to have been Captain Charles Bampfield Yule, a notable Royal Navy officer and surveyor associated with Admiralty expeditions around Australia, New Guinea and the wider Pacific. His work is understood to be linked with Heron Island in Queensland, while Yule Island in Papua New Guinea is also believed to have been named after him. The property is also understood to have connections with the du Maurier family, adding a further literary association to a house already rich in character. The current owners also understand that Tamar Bank was used during both the First and Second World Wars, including wartime military occupation and associations with senior military figures. Together, these connections give Tamar Bank a rare sense of provenance, combining maritime history, literary interest, wartime association and a truly memorable waterside setting. Outside & Gardens Outside, the gardens extend to approximately 0.22 acres and lead down towards the water’s edge, where a private gateway provides direct access to the shoreline below. This direct connection to the river is one of the property’s most special features and offers a rare waterside lifestyle in the heart of Saltash. The gardens have been arranged to make the most of the outlook, with a mixture of raised terraces, lawned areas and decked seating spaces. These areas provide excellent opportunities for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining, all while enjoying the movement, light and atmosphere of the river. Whether launching a kayak from the shore, enjoying evening drinks overlooking the water, watching the tides change or simply taking in the beauty of the Tamar, Tamar Bank offers a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and wonderfully connected to its surroundings. Location Old Ferry Road is one of Saltash’s most atmospheric riverside settings, following the water past Brunel Green and a collection of character cottages. The area has a strong maritime heritage and remains closely connected to the river, with nearby slipways, boat storage and waterside walks all adding to the appeal. Despite its beautiful waterside position, Tamar Bank remains highly convenient for day-to-day amenities. Saltash offers a good range of local shops, a Waitrose supermarket, schools, cafés and services, while the nearby China Fleet Country Club provides golf and leisure facilities. For sailing and watersports enthusiasts, Saltash has a busy sailing club, visitor pontoon, public slipways and access to nearby mooring opportunities. Plymouth city centre, the A38 and Saltash railway station are also within easy reach, making this a rare waterside home that combines beauty, history, practicality and convenience in equal measure. Agent’s Comment Tamar Bank is a truly memorable waterside home. The moment you arrive, there is a real sense that this is a property with a story, from its position on Old Ferry Road and its outlook across the Tamar, to its direct access down to the shoreline below. For me, the magic of the house is the way it combines practicality with atmosphere. It is a generous and versatile family home, but it also has that rare emotional pull that only certain waterside properties seem to have. The views, the garden, the changing tides and the sense of history all add to the feeling that this is somewhere very special. Homes with this level of character, water frontage and historic interest are rarely available, and Tamar Bank is a property that I think buyers will remember long after viewing.

House with pool and garden Torquay (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTION Occupying a private position on Higher Woodfield Road in the heart of Torquay, Mintons is an exceptional Grade II listed Victorian residence, dating back to circa 1834 and steeped in rich heritage. Once owned by the renowned industrialist Herbert Minton—whose pioneering work in ceramics and porcelain influenced design across the world and was ordered by Queen Victoria—the home carries a legacy that is both rare and remarkable. This heritage is beautifully expressed throughout, most notably in the exquisite encaustic tiles synonymous with Minton’s craftsmanship, showcasing intricate geometric patterns that echo a period of true artistic innovation. Architecturally striking, the property evokes an elegant Italianate charm, with grand, light-filled rooms flowing effortlessly onto private, landscaped gardens inspired by the Mediterranean. The atmosphere is one of timeless sophistication—where classical proportions, high ceilings, decorative cornicing, and original sash windows with shutters combine to create a home of enduring character. Despite its history, Mintons has been thoughtfully maintained and sensitively enhanced, offering a seamless balance between period grandeur and modern-day living. The accommodation is both substantial and versatile. The principal residence provides five generous bedrooms and six impressive reception rooms, including a conservatory and an orangery—ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. Complementing the main house are two self-contained apartments—a one-bedroom flat and a two-bedroom coach house—perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or income potential. The accommodation could be used as one residence as all connects, but could also be used as three self contained properties. Further benefits include a swimming pool, two garages, extensive storage, and a highly usable cellar incorporating a dedicated wine cellar—completing a residence that is as functional as it is beautiful. SELLERS INSIGHT “Mintons captivated us at first sight. A welcoming, bright, and historic house with an attractive conservatory and orangery plus a unique pavilion. It’s more reminiscent of a villa on Lake Como but fits perfectly on the English Riviera. The location is ideal being just a short walk from the harbour (perfect for boat owners), the beautiful harbour / waterfront promenade and of course the restaurants and shops in the centre. It’s also just a few minutes walk to Meadfoot Beach with its café overlooking the bay and a little further on to Ilsham Green, where dogs and kids can run around and play. We were very impressed by the secure driveway with ample parking, the beautiful house and the privacy offered by the large garden with its swimming pool. Thanks to the mild climate we were finally able to create a garden filled with exotic and Mediterranean plants. Moving from a very modern house to this historic period house was exciting; to design the various rooms with high ceilings and ornate details - according to our vision while still preserving their historic character. The modern, spacious and bright kitchen is the perfect gathering place to treat family and friends with delicacies. Enjoying breakfast in the conservatory and watching the sun set in the orangery while having a drink is one of the highlights of the day. In summer we also thoroughly enjoy the garden, sitting at different places and look at diverse perspectives. The outdoor area with its various terraces is perfect for entertaining and pool amenities. Despite the central location nights are surprisingly quiet - often all you hear are the hoots of the owl. It’s such a privilege to live at Mintons and we are aware that we’ll possibly never find an impressive home like this again” STEP INSIDE Set privately within its own established grounds in Torquay, Mintons reveals its scale and elegance from the very first moment of arrival. An enclosed entrance vestibule—now fully usable year-round—provides a refined introduction, where elegant arch detailing above the doors and windows immediately sets the architectural tone.

To the front, a refined study features decorative coving, an original bookcase, sash window with shutters, and an electric fire—an ideal work-from-home space or quiet retreat. The drawing room is a statement of classic Victorian elegance, with parquet flooring, ornate cornicing, and tall sash windows that draw in natural light and frame views of the gardens beyond. This flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, where an elegant ceiling and bay window—with direct access onto the verandah—create a perfect setting for entertaining. From here, the accommodation continues into a charming music room, complete with inset arched shelving and wooden flooring, offering yet another versatile reception space. Curved doors from the dining room open into a beautifully appointed conservatory, fully glazed and fitted with blinds, with double doors leading out to the south-facing gardens and swimming pool. The adjoining orangery mirrors this connection to the outdoors, providing additional, light-filled seating areas ideal for both relaxed living and hosting.

Meandering pathways wind gently through the gardens, creating a sense of discovery and quiet formality, while at the far boundary, a gated access leads conveniently onto Lower Woodfield Road. For leisure, a heated swimming pool (approximately 35’ x 17’) forms a true focal point—complete with a removable segmented enclosure, allowing for year-round enjoyment in complete privacy. Tucked discreetly into the upper corner of the garden lies a truly special and rare feature—a charming pavilion, richly adorned with original Minton tiles. Believed to be unique within the area, this exquisite structure provides a final nod to the home’s heritage and craftsmanship, offering a characterful retreat within the grounds. Altogether, the gardens at Mintons offer a refined balance of structure and softness—designed not only to impress, but to be lived in and enjoyed throughout the year.

House with garden and terrace Torquay (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTION Meadfoot House is an elegant and beautifully refurbished period home, equally ideal for a growing family or as a virtually maintenance free holiday home of distinction, positioned moments from the sea. It is a highly individual and charismatic residence that gives a wonderful sense of arrival the moment you step inside. High ceilings, ornate detailing, feature glazing and beautifully preserved character immediately set the tone, while the interiors have been carefully re-planned and finished with an exceptional eye for design. (The contents are available by separate negotiation, offering a highly convenient turnkey purchase if required). Extensively and thoughtfully renovated throughout, the property combines impressive architectural detail with the reassurance of significant modern upgrades, including rewiring, replumbing, new dual-zone central heating, state of the art fire alarm system, new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation. All work is fully certified and meets the latest building standards. The adjoining property sits discreetly behind and is accessed from a different road, giving Meadfoot House the privacy and presence of an individual residence. Just a 2-3 minute stroll from Meadfoot Beach, within easy reach of Wellswood village and the restaurants around Torquay’s marina, this is a striking coastal residence that offers both lifestyle and convenience in one of Torquay’s most desirable settings. SELLERS INSIGHT “There’s always something special about coming home to Meadfoot. From the top of Meadfoot Sea Road, with the fresh sea air and the beautiful bay slowly revealing itself, it feels calm, welcoming and almost a world apart, with its own gentle microclimate. Meadfoot House is set back from the road up a driveway, so it’s very private even though it’s a 2-3 minute walk to Meadfoot Beach. Like its setting, it’s a welcoming, generous house, full of big spaces, high ceilings and beautiful detailing. It’s gracious and full of light, with floor to ceiling sash windows on the ground floor. It’s comfortable too: warm in the winter and cool in the summer with the original 800mm thick walls. When we decided to refurbish the house, our aim was to restore the original elegance while creating a house that flows well, especially on the ground floor which lends itself to being the perfect party space. The room configuration works for both couples or large families, and we ensured there would be plenty of storage space too. Great care was taken to preserve the character while bringing the house into the 21st century. Above all, it has always been a happy and tranquil building, and now it feels exactly as it was always meant to be: an extraordinary home. The location is equally special. Meadfoot Beach is loved by paddleboarders and swimmers, with a café enjoying wonderful sea views. Beautiful walks are on the doorstep, while Ilsham Green and Wellswood village are a short drive away, offering a pub, grocery store, deli/café, patisserie, florist and more. In the other direction, The Elephant (a superb Michelin starred restaurant) and the best fish restaurant in the bay is around 10 minutes away. It is this combination of privacy, elegance, lifestyle and location that makes Meadfoot so special.” STEP INSIDE The entrance porch opens into a highly impressive hallway, where the sense of scale is immediately apparent. High ceilings, ornate detailing and an eye-catching feature wall create a memorable first impression, while the subtle Art Deco influence adds a layer of individuality and character. Clever design is evident from the outset, with a concealed door leading to a substantial cloakroom, as well as a further hidden door opening into a large coat and boot room. The staircase rises elegantly to the first floor, reinforcing the grandeur and period charm that continues throughout the home. The drawing room is a beautiful and atmospheric space, rich in character and architectural detail. Decorative ceiling roses, panelled walls, dado rails and a feature fireplace all speak to the age and quality of the property, while floor-to-ceiling glazing, sash windows and original wooden shutters allow natural light to pour into the room. It is a space that feels both refined and inviting, equally suited to quiet evenings and more formal entertaining. The dining room is another exceptional reception space, designed for gathering and entertaining. Further ceiling detailing is complemented by a contemporary pendant light, bringing a stylish modern contrast to the period setting. A floor-to-ceiling bay window with sash windows and wooden shutters overlooks the front garden, creating a wonderful sense of space, light and elegance. The kitchen has been designed with taste and restraint, carefully balancing modern convenience with a style that remains entirely in keeping with the home. There is a brand new large fridge freezer, integrated microwave, large range-style oven with extractor and integrated dishwasher, along with excellent storage through a combination of cupboards and drawers. A breakfast bar provides seating for two, making this a sociable and practical everyday space. French doors open directly from the kitchen to the courtyard, creating an effortless connection between the inside and outside. Double doors also lead through to the family room, allowing the principal reception spaces to flow beautifully together. The family room leads onto outside space at both ends. The library section opens onto the courtyard whilst French doors at the other end of the room open onto the patio and front garden. This is a lovely informal corner of the home, ideal for reading, working, games or simply enjoying a quieter space. Going from the entrance hallway to the back of the house, there is a light, airy study with a pleasant tree-lined outlook over the driveway. Adjacent to this is a large plant room housing the boiler and hot water cylinder, reflecting the extensive refurbishment of the property. The home has been rewired, replumbed and fitted with new dual-zone central heating, supporting a level of comfort and efficiency expected of modern living. A generous utility room provides worktops, cupboards and a window overlooking the courtyard. This is a highly useful space as it stands, while also offering potential for further adaptation depending on a buyer’s needs. Next to the utility room, and with access to the courtyard, is a room that is ideal for storage, practical household use or possible future conversion. There is a further storage room right at the end. The first floor is arranged with excellent flexibility and a sense of privacy between the principal bedroom spaces. The principal suite is particularly impressive. Accessed via a lobby, it includes a generous double bedroom with large sash windows overlooking the garden. Steps lead down to a substantial dressing room or nursery, complete with fitted wardrobes and mirrored doors. The arrangement gives this part of the house a lovely private-suite feel, while retaining flexibility for family use. The bathroom serving this suite is sensational. Beautifully decorated and finished to an exacting standard, it features a bay window overlooking the garden with low-level shutters, twin sinks set into a vanity unit, a freestanding bath, brass fittings, a separate shower and a separate WC for privacy. Fully panelled and elegantly styled, it is a bathroom that feels both luxurious and timeless. One of the strengths of this layout is its flexibility. The bathroom is accessed from the lobby rather than directly from the bedroom, meaning it can be used more communally if required. Alternatively, by closing the door to the lobby, the entire area becomes a private principal suite. There are four further generous double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. Each room is beautifully presented and continues the home’s sense of scale and quality. Another outstanding bathroom serves this part of the house, with twin sinks, panelled walls, a freestanding bath with freestanding tap, WC and double shower. There is also a separate cloakroom. A rear staircase provides additional practicality, connecting this part of the first floor back down to the study, utility room and hallway, enhancing the sense of flow and functionality within the home. Throughout, the decoration is exceptional. Every room has been carefully considered, with an elegant palette, beautiful finishes and a cohesive sense of style. With new flooring throughout, refurbished sash windows and new loft insulation, the home has been upgraded with both appearance and performance in mind. The contents may be available by separate negotiation, creating the opportunity for a buyer to acquire a beautifully furnished home ready for immediate occupation. STEP OUTSIDE The outside space has been arranged to provide a balance of parking, garden, privacy and sunny seating areas. To the front, there is ample parking for several vehicles, with space for approximately six cars, together with an EV charger and a useful bike storage area. There is also a separate entrance, accessed from the driveway, with steps to a spacious lower ground floor room that could convert into a cinema room, gym, games room or used for storage. The front garden includes a patio area adjacent to the family room, creating a lovely setting from which to enjoy the outlook over the garden and the architecture of the house itself. Catching the sun up to midday and sometimes late afternoon, it is an ideal space for an outdoor table and chairs, to enjoy an alfresco breakfast, lunch or quiet drink at the end of the day. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with established planting, shrubs and attractive borders adding colour and structure. Steps lead down through the garden to a further landscaped area laid to stone, beautifully screened from the road by mature planting, which catches the afternoon sun. A pathway from the patio area at the front leads back around to the rear courtyard, linking the garden naturally with the kitchen, utility and rear areas of the house. The courtyard provides a private and sunny aspect, offering another attractive outside space for informal seating, morning coffee or relaxed entertaining. The combination of formal garden, raised terrace, courtyard, ample parking, EV charging and practical storage gives the home a highly usable and versatile exterior.

Introduction Belton Lodge is a substantial Victorian home in one of Torquay’s most sought-after positions, with beautiful southerly views across Tor Bay. Set behind a sweeping driveway and within gardens of around half an acre, it offers over 7,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over four floors. This is a home with real presence, excellent space and huge potential, offering a rare chance for a new owner to update, refine and create something exceptional in a prime coastal setting. The Inside The house opens into an impressive reception hall with a sweeping staircase rising to a galleried landing, immediately giving a sense of the scale and character found throughout. The main reception rooms are generous and elegant, with high ceilings, large windows and plenty of natural light. The drawing room is a standout space, with twin bay windows framing the view across the bay and doors linking through to the dining room. A conservatory opens onto the terrace and helps connect the house beautifully with the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the ground floor and offers clear opportunity for a new owner to enhance and shape the space around modern family life. Alongside this are further everyday living areas including a lounge, bar area and cloakroom, giving the house a flexible layout that works equally well for family living and entertaining. The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors. On the first floor, three of the double bedrooms enjoy lovely sea views, while two further double bedrooms, en suites and additional bathrooms provide excellent family and guest accommodation. On the second floor there is a sixth bedroom and another bathroom, giving further flexibility depending on how the space is needed. In addition, the upper part of the tower has never been converted, offering exciting potential for a truly special viewing room or retreat, designed to make the very most of the exceptional outlook. The lower ground floor adds another layer of versatility and is a major part of the appeal here. With a billiard room, office, laundry, store rooms, workshop, wine cellar and additional cellar space, it offers huge scope for hobbies, working from home, wellness space, games room or further ancillary accommodation. There is also potential, subject to any required consents, to create a self-contained flat. The Outside Outside, Belton Lodge is complemented by established gardens and generous terraces that make the most of its sunny southerly aspect and far-reaching views across Tor Bay. A broad paved terrace wraps around the front and side of the house, creating a superb space for sitting, dining and entertaining, all with the bay as a beautiful backdrop. Beneath the terrace is a useful garden room with power and water connected, adding further practical flexibility. The gardens are a lovely feature of the property, combining areas of level lawn with mature trees, well-stocked borders, ornamental ponds, fruit trees, a vegetable garden and greenhouse. Altogether, the outside space feels private, established and full of potential for a new owner to enjoy and enhance over time. The approach to the house is particularly impressive, with a pillared entrance opening onto a sweeping driveway that leads to a generous parking and turning area in front of the twin garages. In addition, a pathway with steps leads down through the garden to Middle Lincombe Road, where there is a pedestrian gate providing useful secondary access. Location Belton Lodge sits in one of Torquay’s most sought-after residential positions, on the leafy Lincombes hillside above the coastline and close to some of the area’s best-known lifestyle attractions. From here, Meadfoot Beach is nearby for morning swims, paddleboarding and coastal walks, while Wellswood offers a good selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs, independent shops and everyday amenities. Torquay harbour and marina are also within easy reach, bringing a more vibrant waterside feel with restaurants, bars, sailing and waterfront walks all close at hand. For buyers who enjoy eating out, the area is particularly well placed. Torquay harbour is home to The Elephant, Simon Hulstone’s Michelin-starred restaurant, which has retained its star in the 2026 Michelin Guide and remains one of the South West’s standout dining destinations. The sporting and leisure offering is also strong. Torquay Golf Club, one of the area’s best-known courses, is around three miles from the town centre and offers a well-established parkland course with lovely coastal views. The marina and harbour area further add to the appeal, creating a setting that works just as well for boating enthusiasts as it does for those simply wanting to enjoy the atmosphere of the English Riviera. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is well connected. Torquay railway station provides onward links to London Paddington and beyond, Newton Abbot offers mainline services, and Exeter along with the M5 are within straightforward reach. This is a location that combines privacy, coastline, good amenities and a genuine lifestyle feel, which is exactly why homes in the Lincombes remain so consistently sought after.

Seaside contemporary house with pool and garden Torquay (United Kingdom)
INTRODUCTION Belton House is a truly exceptional coastal home, offering the perfect blend of luxury, space, and serenity. With breathtaking views over the coastline, this remarkable property is designed for those seeking both elegance and tranquility. Flooded with natural light, the spacious interiors span three floors and include five generously sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering comfort and flexibility for family life or entertaining guests. The garden is a standout feature — an oasis of calm inspired by the Italian Riviera. Mature Mediterranean planting, including a variety of palm trees, thrives in Torquay’s unique microclimate, creating a lush, exotic atmosphere that feels a world away from everyday life. A beautiful swimming pool completes this private paradise, and with Meadfoot Beach just a short walk away, Belton House truly offers the best of coastal living. This is a rare opportunity to own a peaceful and luxurious retreat in one of the South West’s most desirable locations. SELLERS INSIGHT “It was the garden that first drew me to Belton House. Having grown up in France, I had always dreamed of owning an orangery, and I knew I wanted an established garden, sea views, and — if I was lucky — a swimming pool. Belton House ticked every box. When I saw the wisteria bloom for the first time that May, I knew I’d found something truly special. For the past 15 years, I’ve poured love and care into creating a Mediterranean-style oasis, using no pesticides so that birds, bees, and butterflies could thrive here. Torquay’s unique microclimate has allowed me to grow a huge range of tropical and exotic plants that would never survive elsewhere in the UK. We moved here from London looking for a slower pace of life, proximity to the beach, and excellent schools. Meadfoot Beach is just a ten-minute walk away, and the local grammar schools and 20 nearby beaches made this an ideal location for our family. Despite the peaceful setting, we’re only minutes from Wellswood and its cafés, shops, and restaurants — and the Osborne Hotel is just down the road with an indoor pool and tennis court, which has suited our lifestyle perfectly. Inside, the house feels bright and spacious, with thick walls and large rooms that open up to the sea view. We later converted the attic to create even more space for our growing family. The layout has worked so well over the years — when the children were downstairs with friends, we could barely hear a sound! This home has been our sanctuary. We've hosted countless dinner parties and summer pool gatherings — it’s a sociable, open space, yet it often feels like we’re in the middle of nowhere. Our neighbours have become dear friends, and we’ve created so many memories here. The garden is my pride and joy and will be dearly missed. Belton House is unlike anywhere we’ve ever lived — it’s more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a little piece of paradise.” STEP INSIDE Hidden behind a substantial stone wall and sleek sliding gate, Belton House is a true coastal retreat. From the moment you arrive in the courtyard — where a large feature pond surrounded by mature planting fills the air with the soothing sound of trickling water — you’re immediately immersed in a sense of peace and Mediterranean charm. Step inside to a bright, open hallway, where natural light pours through vertical window panes framing views of the pond. White-washed floorboards and crisp, clean walls give the home a calm, continental feel. For convenience, there is a cloakroom and WC off the hallway. The generously sized living room enjoys stunning ocean views through two large windows. A sleek built-in media unit and electric fireplace add warmth and function, making this a perfect space to unwind. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which has patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the side courtyard. The flow continues into the stylish, contemporary kitchen, where patio doors lead to the front terrace and pond, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to blend harmoniously. At its heart is a large central island with an electric hob, integrated sink, and dishwasher. A wall of cabinetry houses the fridge, freezer, oven, and microwave, creating a highly functional and beautifully designed space. Also on the ground floor is a spacious bedroom suite featuring fitted wardrobes, two large windows framing coastal views, and a luxurious ensuite with both a bath and a walk-in shower. On the first floor, a landing leads to a guest WC and a superb bedroom suite complete with a large double bedroom, dressing room, and an ensuite wet room. Velux windows draw in natural light and capture sea views, while the room is generous enough to accommodate additional living furniture — ideal for guests or extended family. The lower ground floor offers flexible living with three further double bedrooms: one with an ensuite bathroom, another with a Jack-and-Jill shower room connecting to the principal suite, which opens via patio doors onto the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. This level also features a well-equipped laundry room. Additionally, you'll find a study or library with fitted bookshelves, and a second reception room with patio doors leading out to the side courtyard — ideal as a garden room, home office, or additional lounge.
