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 INSIDEAn 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.
