Arranged over four carefully considered floors, this striking townhouse on Settrington Road offers over 2,200 sq ft of beautifully balanced living space, designed around light, volume and a wonderful connection to the outdoors. Rebuilt and extended around a decade ago and refreshed again this year, the house has the feel of a modern family home rather than a reworked terrace, with generous proportions, strong architectural lines and a calm, confident finish throughout. The ground floor is centred around an incredible kitchen and dining room, conceived as the heart of the home. Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws in light and opens directly onto the south-west facing garden, creating a lovely flow between inside and out. The kitchen itself is well designed and functional, with clean-lined cabinetry, integrated appliances and space for both everyday dining and entertaining. Just beyond, a sunken reception room is a more relaxed setting, subtly zoned while still connected to the main living space. To the front of the house, a separate reception room offers a more formal sitting area, complete with a bay window overlooking the street. An open staircase leads down to the lower ground floor from the kitchen, this does a wonderful job of including the basement as a real part of the home . The basement has been intelligently configured to include a large family or media room, a utility space and an additional bedroom, making it great for guests, older children or a home office arrangement. Stairs lead up to the garden from the basement, again making it very inclusive with what is happening above. The upper floors are dedicated to accommodation. The principal bedroom occupies the top floor and opens directly onto a private roof terrace with open views across South Park, an elevated and peaceful setting that feels notably removed from the city. The suite is completed by a well-appointed bathroom and excellent storage. Further bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, all well proportioned and served by contemporary bathrooms finished in a restrained, modern palette. Throughout the house, the design balances clean architectural detail with warmth: light wood floors, extensive glazing, carefully considered lighting and a palette that allows the space and proportions to speak for themselves. Storage has been thoughtfully integrated at every level, and the overall layout works equally well for family life and entertaining. Settrington Road is a quiet residential street moments from Wandsworth Bridge Road, with its cafés, shops and restaurants, and within easy reach of Parsons Green and Fulham Broadway. South Park lies directly behind the house, offering open green space on the doorstep, while excellent local schools, including L’Ecole des Petits and Thomas’s Fulham, are close by. It is a location that combines neighbourhood calm with everyday convenience, making it particularly appealing for families and long-term owners alike.

Introduction Lillies is a striking contemporary home in a wonderfully peaceful position on the edge of Christow, within Dartmoor National Park and looking out across the Teign Valley. There is a calmness to the house that is immediately apparent. Light pours in through large expanses of glazing, the views are drawn into the main living spaces, and the layout has been designed to feel open, easy and sociable. Yet this is not simply a quiet retreat. Lillies is also a great house for entertaining, with generous open plan living space, terraces, bi-fold doors, a built-in wood fired oven and a natural flow between inside and out. It is the kind of house that works just as well for slow mornings and peaceful evenings as it does for parties, family gatherings and long summer lunches. Set in around 2.67 acres, with gardens, paddock, woodland, a triple garage and a separate studio, Lillies offers space, privacy and flexibility, sitting on the edge of Christow village, while still being in easy reach of Exeter, the A38, A30 and M5. The Inside The house has a distinctive contemporary design, with white rendered elevations, honey-coloured stone and a slate roof with deep eaves. Inside, the feeling is light, open and calming, with floor to ceiling windows helping to frame the outlook and bring the outside in. The main living space sits at the heart of the house. The sitting room, dining area and kitchen/breakfast room work together beautifully, creating a sociable layout that feels relaxed and practical for everyday life, while also being ideal for entertaining. The sitting and dining areas are interlinked and share an exposed stone wall with a double-sided fireplace, giving warmth and character to the contemporary interior. Large sliding doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, so in the warmer months the house can open up and flow naturally outside. One of the more unexpected features is the study space, accessed via a hidden bookshelf door off the living room. It is a lovely detail and gives the house a sense of fun, while also providing a useful quiet space for working from home, reading or escaping from the busier parts of the house. The kitchen/breakfast room is generous and well planned, with plenty of space around a large central island and a wide oak work surface for informal dining. It has a relaxed country feel, with farmhouse-style units, built-in electric appliances and a slate tiled floor, but the layout keeps it firmly part of the main living and entertaining space. A real highlight is the built-in wood fired oven, perfect for pizza, roasts or relaxed cooking whatever the weather. The bi-fold doors beside it open directly onto the rear patio, making this a brilliant space for hosting, with food, drinks and guests moving easily between the kitchen and outside. Also on the ground floor are a utility room, boot room and cloakroom, which are all valuable additions for a home with land, gardens and plenty of outdoor space. Upstairs, the part-galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a large dressing room with built-in wardrobes, an en suite bath and shower room, and its own balcony overlooking the garden, grounds and the views beyond. The guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the two further double bedrooms are served by the family bath and shower room. Two of the bedrooms also have access to a further balcony, again making the most of the outlook. The Outside Lillies is approached down a lane, with a gated turn-off leading into a large gravelled parking area with space for several vehicles. One of the real strengths outside is the garage building. This is a substantial detached structure and far more than just garaging. On the ground floor there is a triple garage, providing excellent storage and parking, but the scale of the building means it could lend itself to a wide range of future uses, depending on someone’s needs. It could work well for car storage, bikes, workshop space, a gym, hobbies, or potentially something more ambitious, subject to any necessary permissions. Above the garage is a really spacious studio with its own shower and WC. This gives the property a huge amount of flexibility. It could make a fantastic home office, creative studio, guest space or ancillary accommodation to the main house. There may also be potential for it to be used as a holiday let, subject to the necessary permissions. The gardens wrap mainly around the eastern side of the house, where a paved terrace looks over the lawn and out towards the paddock beyond. The lawn is bordered by post and rail fencing, creating a natural divide between the immediate garden and the land. There is also a further paved terrace to the front of the house, which faces west and enjoys the evening sun, but it is the rear garden that really adds to the way the house can be enjoyed. From the kitchen, bi-fold doors open directly onto a large patio area, creating a natural entertaining space that works wonderfully, especially with the built-in wood fired oven. From here, a sloped path leads up to a level lawn, where there is a summer house with power. This could work well as a garden store, home office, studio or simply a quiet garden room, depending on how a new owner wants to use the space. A further path leads down the side of the property to a covered seating area, ideal for sitting outside when you want to escape the sun or enjoy the garden in a more sheltered spot. Together, these outside spaces give Lillies a lovely balance. It is peaceful and calming day to day, but also a brilliant house for entertaining, with space for summer lunches, drinks with friends, family gatherings and pizza evenings whatever the weather. Behind the garage is a small area of woodland and the paddock lies beyond the garden and is bounded by a stream along the northern side. Altogether, the gardens, paddock and woodland amount to approx 2.67 acres. Location Lillies is tucked away, but not isolated, on the western side of the Teign Valley within Dartmoor National Park. Christow village centre is approximately 0.7 miles away and offers a good range of local amenities, including a community shop, doctor's surgery, a primary school, church, pub and community hall. The surrounding countryside is a major part of the appeal. The property sits close to Tottiford and Kennick reservoirs, with Dartmoor, the Teign Valley and open countryside on your doorstep, making this a wonderful area for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. Moretonhampstead is around 6 miles away and offers further day-to-day amenities, while Exeter city centre is approximately 10 miles away, providing a much wider choice of shops, restaurants, schools, transport links and cultural facilities. The property is well connected by road, with the A38 Devon Expressway just 7 miles away, the A30 around 8 miles and the M5 motorway within 10 miles. Exeter St David's station, around 10 miles away, offers regular high-speed services to London Paddington and Waterloo, while Exeter Airport is 15.5 miles away. There is a good choice of schooling within easy reach, including the primary school in Christow, and independent schools such as Stover School, Exeter School, Exeter Cathedral School and The Maynard.

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. The hallway continues past one of the double bedrooms, which has direct access out onto the terrace, before opening into the main living room. This is one of the standout spaces within the house, with a high vaulted ceiling, galleried landing above, and a substantial stone fireplace creating a strong focal point. 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.

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. Double doors open into the breakfast room, which has a grand fireplace with wood burner, creating another generous reception space. On the other side of the house, there is a spacious study, a snooker room and a formal sitting room. Each room has been decorated sympathetically in neutral tones to enhance the natural beauty of the building’s windows, stonework and period features. The main reception rooms are fitted with wood burners, creating inviting spaces in winter. The current owners have enhanced the property with LED lighting, refurbished bathrooms and carried out extensive work to the roof. There are two staircases which access the first floor, where you’ll find the bedrooms. The largest rooms are at either end of the house. The principal bedroom suite has been improved with the renovation of the ensuite to create a luxury space with high-quality fittings and finish. The principal bedroom is accessed via the dressing room, where there are numerous built-in wardrobes. The second and third bedrooms are also of a generous size and accommodate large four-poster beds. There are seven further bedrooms, all of which are bright, inviting spaces. They either have ensuite facilities or are very close to facilities. From the landing, a staircase takes you up to the second floor. The amount of space here is a real surprise, with exposed wooden beams, plenty of light and gorgeous elevated views across the grounds, valley and hills beyond. The main space here has previously been used as a comprehensive gymnasium but could suit a number of different uses, subject to any necessary consents. It leads into another substantial room which is set up as a games and TV room. It is large enough to create a cinema space if desired. Also on this floor are various store rooms, as well as a room with steam and sauna facilities and a further room currently set up as a massage/treatment room. The staff apartment, also on this floor, provides a generous living/dining room with lovely views, a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. Exterior The house stands in simply landscaped grounds which include large areas of lawn and a park-like field providing space for grazing if required. The grounds are approached through a pair of electrically operated tall gates opening onto the gravelled drive, which leads to a generous parking and turning area beside the house. There is a further garden space to the far side of the house. Steps lead down to the outdoor swimming pool and large level lawn. The pool is currently decommissioned and may require attention before being brought back into use. This remains a lovely, private and sheltered area of the grounds to enjoy the sunshine. The grounds stretch to around 10 acres in total and gently slope to the lower boundary. The boundary is made up of mature trees, giving excellent privacy in all directions. Canonteign Manor is one of the South West’s most significant ancient houses. Presented in good condition and situated in a spectacular yet convenient location, it offers a remarkable combination of history, scale, privacy and setting. Location The nearest village is Christow, which also overlooks the Teign Valley and is popular due to both its location and good range of community facilities, including pub, village school, shop, sports fields, doctor’s surgery and clubs. Bovey Tracey, the popular town on the edge of Dartmoor, is around 10 minutes’ drive away. You’ll find a range of amenities there, along with the popular Devon Guild of Craftsmen. Exeter is a short drive away, accessible either via the A38 dual carriageway or the very scenic Teign Valley road and B3212. This lovely Cathedral city offers many restaurants and high-quality shopping outlets. There is also a very popular university and excellent range of schooling.

Introduction Beadon Farm is a rare kind of property, not just because of its setting, its scale, or its privacy, but because of the way it makes you feel. Hidden within a private valley on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park, this remarkable home sits at the heart of its own 63 acres, a peaceful and fully self-contained hamlet surrounded by ancient woodland, wildflower meadows, and re-wilded pasture. What sets Beadon apart is the care that’s gone into every part of it. The land has been restored with ecological purpose. The buildings have been brought back to life with impeccable craftsmanship. And the entire property has been shaped by a clear, long-term vision, one rooted in flexibility, sustainability, and calm.  Teams of stone masons were brought in to rebuild old walls and create entire new walled gardens.  A local blacksmith designed bespoke metal gates featuring foxglove and birds that are now a timeless signature of the farm.  At its core, Beadon Farm is about connection. With nature, with others, and with the kind of lifestyle that’s becoming harder to find. This is a home that offers space, seclusion and possibility, a place to live, retreat, share or simply enjoy. And while it feels a world apart, it remains well connected to Exeter, the coast, and London beyond. Seller’s Story When we first arrived at Beadon Farm, we were looking for somewhere quiet, somewhere we could live in a more thoughtful and connected way.  Easily sourcing organic meats from local butchers, amazing fresh seafood from the Ashburton fish deli and the weekly deliveries from Riverford Farm all supplement the organic greens grown at Beadon Farm that made this location perfect.   While we had ideas of how we saw our renovations evolving, what unfolded over time was shaped by the land itself, and by a simple desire to create a home that felt calm, restorative, and in tune with its surroundings. Working closely with local specialists and Dartmoor National Park, we focused on bringing balance back to the valley. We’ve restored hedgerows, expanded habitats for pollinators, and added more than 40 mature trees. We’ve shaped walking paths through the ancient woodland, and have done everything we can to protect and encourage biodiversity. At the same time, we’ve restored every building with care, not just to a high standard, but with a view to how the spaces could support different kinds of living. Whether it’s for quiet retreat, gathering with others, or simply day-to-day life, we wanted Beadon to feel flexible, generous and quietly grounding. We’ve always thought of this place as a healing and learning retreat — not in a formal sense, but in how it holds space for stillness, creativity, and reflection. Although we had hoped to stay longer, a move overseas now means it’s time for the next chapter — both for us, and for Beadon. Our hope is that the next owners will value what’s been created here, and carry it forward in their own way, whether that’s as a private home, a place to share with others, or a bit of both. This valley has been good to us. It’s peaceful, generous, and full of potential, and surrounded by wonderful neighbours.   We’ll miss it, but we’re proud to pass it on. The Farmhouse The main house at Beadon Farm stands at the centre of the hamlet, a handsome, traditional farmhouse with classic Dartmoor proportions, carefully restored and extended to suit modern living. Its white render and heritage green windows give it an understated elegance, while inside, the rooms feel calm, generous and welcoming. The front door opens into a central hallway. To the left is a snug with a wood burning stove, a cosy, relaxed space with garden views, and opposite, a generous games room with large windows and large fireplace with wood burner.  Straight ahead, the house opens up into a wide inner hallway with access to the cloakroom, a well-appointed utility room with double Miele washers and dryers, as well as a rear entrance. The kitchen is the heart of the home, a large, sociable space with bespoke cabinetry, a central island, electric Aga, and built-in pantries.  It flows naturally into the dining room on one side, and the conservatory and garden terrace on the other, creating a seamless link between indoor and outdoor spaces. Beyond the kitchen is the main reception room: a peaceful, light-filled space with a stone fireplace and double doors leading to the conservatory, which offers views across the garden, orchard and surrounding hills. Upstairs, the principal suite includes a spacious bedroom, a walk-in dressing room, and a stylish en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms each have their own en-suite shower rooms, while the fourth bedroom, currently used as a study, offers flexibility for guests, family or work. Throughout the house, features such as exposed beams, timber-framed windows and stonework sit comfortably alongside modern systems including air conditioning in key areas, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, and hardwired internet in every room, offering the charm of a period home with the convenience of a contemporary one.  The farmhouse and barns are all linked with a hardwired intercom phone system.  Thatch Barn Once a dilapidated tin-roofed agricultural building, The Thatch Barn has been reimagined as a beautifully crafted thatched retreat. Now a luxurious, self-contained guest suite that blends rustic charm with elegant, modern living. The ground floor offers a spacious and versatile living area, carefully zoned to include a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a stylish dining space with bespoke banquette seating, and a generous lounge with bespoke cabinetry and space to unwind or work. This area could also include a generous bedroom space. Large windows and thoughtful lighting give the space a bright, calm feel, while underfloor heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort.  There is a downstairs shower room with walk-in rainfall shower, along with a discreetly positioned washer and dryer in the hallway leading to the shower room.  Upstairs is a dedicated bedroom with vaulted ceilings and integrated storage, alongside a beautifully appointed cloakroom.  Every detail has been considered - from the handcrafted finishes to the elegant lighting, creating a peaceful and private haven that could, subject to any necessary permissions, lend itself to equally serve as guest accommodation, a creative studio, or even a luxury holiday let. Rowan Barn Rowan Barn is a beautifully converted detached barn, currently used as a calming space for yoga, work, and relaxation. With its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a sense of quiet elegance, it offers a flexible retreat that feels connected yet distinct from the main house. The open-plan layout provides real versatility. It’s perfectly suited to creative pursuits, wellness practices, or working from home—but equally, it would make a wonderful guest suite. The kitchen is beautifully appointed, with bespoke cabinetry and a Lacanche cooker, while the shower room is finished to a luxurious standard, with large-format marble-effect tiles and a walk-in shower enclosure. Comfort is carefully considered throughout, with underfloor heating and air conditioning ensuring a pleasant environment all year round. Nettle Barn Set just beyond the main farmhouse, Nettle Barn has been thoughtfully converted from its former agricultural use into a tranquil and versatile building. Accessed from the main yard, with a secondary entrance from the flower and vegetable garden, it offers a peaceful retreat with far-reaching views across the valley. The main room is currently arranged as a bright and uplifting studio, with a vaulted timber ceiling, large windows, white oak cabinets, and glazed doors that open onto the surrounding landscape. There is a kitchenette with a large sink for flower cutting or washing up from art projects and a cloakroom.  Whether used as an art space, a quiet study, a place to read or reflect—or with modest changes and subject to permission, as a guest suite—this is a building full of possibility. At the far end, a purpose-built greenhouse connects seamlessly to the stone structure. Designed for practical use, it features floor drainage and underfloor heating to support year-round planting and propagation.  It would also be a good space for other art practices such as clay work, painting and sculpting. The Gardens The gardens surrounding the farmhouse are beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, providing the perfect setting for the home and the wider hamlet. At the front of the farmhouse is a wonderful garden in a formal courtyard with an expansive lawn and well-established, irrigated borders filled with shrubs, perennials and seasonal colour. A charming water feature made from an old mill stone sits at the far end of the garden and was primarily built for the birds and other flying visitors.  The fountain perfectly framed from the front door and adds a peaceful soundtrack to the setting.  At the rear, paved terraces provide excellent space for entertaining or quiet enjoyment, with the level lawn flowing naturally into open grassland and up toward the newest wildflower meadow. Subtle, tasteful garden lighting around the house and yard adds warmth and atmosphere at dusk. Tucked behind Nettle Barn, the flower and vegetable garden is a particular highlight. Neatly fenced and beautifully laid out, it features a series of irrigated raised beds surrounded by gravel paths and ornamental planting, perfect for growing fresh produce and cut flowers. With an old Cornish well built into the centre, the area is as pleasing to the eye as it is practical, with a nearby seating area making the most of the views. Adjacent to this, and hidden behind the Tractor Barn, is a discreet workers' WC and a dedicated staff kitchen and dining room, making day-to-day life on the estate more comfortable and efficient. Further along the back of the Tractor Barn, a large greenhouse supports year-round growing and propagation. Across the grounds, numerous thoughtful seating areas have been created, each offering a unique perspective of the land and a moment of stillness, whether for solitude or time shared with friends. Together, the gardens form a series of inviting, manageable spaces that gently blend into the natural surroundings, as practical as they are peaceful. Outbuildings Beadon Farm is well supported by a thoughtfully designed set of outbuildings, offering flexibility for agricultural, operational, and creative use. The Tractor Barn A substantial modern building with concrete flooring, high eaves, and wide double doors, this is the working heart of the estate. It comfortably houses machinery, tools, and implements, with built-in storage and a timber-framed internal workshop/storage shed. Recently installed lighting, power, and insulation make it a highly functional space all year round. The Farm Office and Barn Across from the Tractor Barn is an original stone barn that houses the heated farm office where there are bookshelves full of farming and gardening reference materials, maps of the fields, along with tables and chairs to hold meetings.  The built-in desk space and filing system is ideal for managing the day-to-day running of the property or for use as a project hub, studio, or consultancy space. At the other end of this barn is a far infrared sauna and additional storage space.   The Berry Hut A timber-framed pitched-roof structure, the Berry Hut encloses the estate’s soft fruit beds.  Higher Tractor Barn Positioned away from the main cluster of buildings, the Higher Tractor Barn provides a highly useful service and storage area. Its location offers easy access for deliveries and equipment, making it a practical addition for running the property efficiently. The Land Beadon Farm extends to approximately 63 acres in total, including around 30 acres of gently sloping grass fields, suitable for grazing, agriculture or conservation, and enclosed largely by traditional hedgerows and new chestnut fencing and Iroko gates.  The remaining land includes about 30 acres of ancient woodland, providing a peaceful and biodiverse environment. The woodland areas, including parts of Netton Cleave and Little Down, feature established tree cover, copious bluebells, streams and informal paths, offering natural spaces for quiet enjoyment. The current owners have taken a careful ecological approach to land management, focusing on enhancing habitats, supporting pollinators and maintaining the balance and natural character of the landscape.  When an old Ash tree had to come down, it was repurposed and carved by a local artist into a long dragon style bench, and other mythical elements.  It’s a manageable and well-connected parcel of land, offering scope for those looking to farm, re-wild, or simply enjoy a quieter pace of life. Location Beadon Farm is located in open countryside between Hennock, Bovey Tracey and Chudleigh, within the boundary of Dartmoor National Park. Although wonderfully secluded, the property is well connected by road, rail and air. The vibrant town of Ashburton is within 15 minutes, while Exeter is around 30 minutes away. From nearby Newton Abbot, trains to London Paddington take approximately 2.5 hours. Exeter Airport offers flights to a range of domestic and European destinations. The surrounding area is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt in the UK, with dramatic moorland, deep river valleys and sandy, blue flag beaches, all within easy reach. Beadon sits quietly in its own valley, yet offers exceptional access to the best of the South West.

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Wolverwood is a bold and highly individual home, tucked away in a private hillside setting on the edge of historic Plympton St Maurice. Set within around 3.5 acres of gardens, terraces and paddocks, it offers privacy, versatility and a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find so close to Plymouth, the A38 and wider routes into Cornwall and towards Exeter. What makes Wolverwood especially compelling is the way it combines two distinct parts into one highly adaptable whole. The contemporary section of the house provides striking modern living space together with three beautifully appointed bedrooms, while the original cottage offers three further bedrooms and its own characterful accommodation. This arrangement makes the property particularly well suited to multigenerational living, buyers wanting a home with lettable income potential, or those who run a business from home and need genuine separation between different parts of daily life. Alongside the house is a substantial detached commercial building with B1 category use, adding another valuable dimension for anyone seeking workspace, storage, studio, gym or business premises from home. The Inside At the heart of Wolverwood is a remarkable open plan kitchen, dining and living space extending to over 14 metres in length. It is a room designed for modern living on an impressive scale, bringing together strong contemporary styling with warmth, comfort and practicality. The bespoke kitchen is centred around a large island with breakfast bar seating and features an Everhot electric range, induction hob, built-in appliances, larder and utility. Copper toned details, Microcement finishes, feature lighting and exposed steelwork all give the space a polished interior designed feel, while the layout allows room for relaxed seating, dining and entertaining. A contemporary wood burner adds warmth and focus, making this a space that works just as well for everyday family life as it does for hosting friends. The modern side of the house also includes three luxury bedrooms, creating a superb main home environment that feels stylish, spacious and private. The principal suite is especially impressive, with triple aspect windows, a walk-in wardrobe, wet room ensuite, freestanding bath and access to a wraparound balcony. It has the feel of a boutique hotel suite, calm, beautifully finished and generous in scale. Two further bedrooms in this part of the house are equally well presented, each with their own strong sense of design and comfort. The original cottage provides a lovely contrast, bringing texture, warmth and a more traditional feel to the overall arrangement. Here, there is a formal dining room with a wood burner and garden outlook, a comfortable family room with slate flooring and French doors opening outside, and a characterful kitchen with oak worktops, fitted cabinetry and a glazed roof section drawing in natural light. This side of the house also provides three further bedrooms, giving real flexibility for dependent relatives, older children, guests or those looking to create income from part of the accommodation, subject to any permissions or requirements a buyer may wish to satisfy. Taken as a whole, Wolverwood is far more than a six bedroom house. It is a home that can evolve around different needs and stages of life, whether that means living across generations, balancing home life with supplementary income, or simply having the space to work, host and live in a more flexible way. The Outside Outside, Wolverwood is just as impressive. The grounds extend to around 3.5 acres and include gardens, terraces, areas of natural planting and small paddocks, all contributing to the sense of privacy and space. The property is fully fenced and entered via electric gates, giving it a secure and tucked away feel from the moment you arrive. Around the house are several places to sit, relax and enjoy the outlook. The cottage side has a more intimate garden feel, while the modern extension opens onto broad terrace and balcony areas that create a strong indoor and outdoor flow. There is ample parking for cars and vans, making the property highly practical for larger households, visiting guests or business use. A major asset here is the detached commercial building, which greatly broadens the appeal of the property. With B1 category use, it offers valuable flexibility for offices, storage, workshop use, fitness space or an established home run business, all clearly separate from the main house itself. For buyers wanting to combine lifestyle and work in one setting, this is a significant advantage. Wolverwood also remains registered as a smallholding, giving the next owner the option to keep livestock or make broader use of the land if desired. Location Wolverwood is positioned on the outskirts of historic Plympton St Maurice, with the town centre around 1.5 miles away for everyday amenities including supermarkets, schools, post office, banks and bakeries. Plymouth city centre is approximately 5 miles away and offers a much wider range of facilities, including grammar and private schools, Plymouth University, Derriford Hospital, theatres, cinemas, shopping, Royal William Yard and an excellent choice of restaurants. The ferry port also provides crossings to Spain and France. For buyers who value accessibility, the location works especially well. The A38 is easily reached, opening convenient routes towards Cornwall, Exeter and the M5, with Exeter approximately 40 miles away. It is a setting that gives you privacy and breathing space without losing touch with day to day convenience or wider transport links.

A truly exceptional and lovingly crafted bespoke residence, set on one of Leicestershire's most coveted addresses. 77 Gartree Road is not simply a house. It is the product of an uncompromising vision, rebuilt from the ground up to an extraordinary standard that rarely presents itself to the open market. From the moment the electric gates part, the scale, quality and presence of this remarkable home become immediately apparent. Extending to approximately 6,730 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation across three floors, this is a home conceived for modern family life without compromise. Seven bedrooms, five en suite shower rooms, a separate family bathroom, and a dedicated ground floor WC and boot room upon arrival. The configuration is as considered as the specification is impressive. Ground Floor Arrival is through a substantial entrance hall measuring almost 33 feet in length, an immediately commanding space that sets the tone for everything that follows. To the left, a generous lounge spanning over 19 feet by 17 feet provides a refined retreat, while the ground floor bedroom with its own en suite offers ideal flexibility for guests, extended family or multigenerational living. A separate sitting room, utility room, boot room and WC complete the practical ground floor offering. At the heart of the home sits the extraordinary family room, a vast open plan space measuring an impressive 25 by 33 feet, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen which stretches to over 22 feet in width. This is the true engine room of the house, a space designed for the way families actually live: gathering, cooking, entertaining and relaxing under one roof, filled with natural light and anchored by the spectacular two metre gas fireplace. Air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the seasons. The integral double garage with automatic door connects directly to the home and measures a generous 19 by 17 feet. One of the final touches remaining is the kitchen, presenting the new owner with a blank canvas to create the bespoke kitchen space of their dreams within an otherwise turnkey home. First Floor The American walnut staircase with wrought iron spindles rises to a truly spectacular landing, an expansive space at almost 32 by 35 feet, bathed in natural light through feature windows and providing a genuine sense of architectural occasion rarely found in residential property. Six bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each beautifully proportioned. Two principal bedroom suites each benefit from their own dedicated dressing room and private en suite, including one suite where the dressing room extends to over 10 feet by 17 feet. A further bedroom enjoys its own en suite, while two additional double bedrooms share a luxuriously appointed family bathroom. Every bathroom is finished with Porcelanosa porcelain tiling, Geberit flush systems and Pelipal vanity units with integrated LED lighting. Second Floor A seventh bedroom occupies the second floor alongside a WC and store room, creating a wonderfully private and versatile space. Perfect as a teenager's retreat, a home office suite, or a self contained guest room away from the main household. Specification Throughout the home, the specification has been assembled with exceptional care. Graspania porcelain tiles cover the ground floor. Triple glazed windows feature throughout. Underfloor heating runs across both ground and first floors with individual room thermostats. Three phase electricity supply and CAT 6 cabling in every room future proof the property for generations. The smart home system brings app controlled lighting, electric blinds, intercom and cameras together in one seamless platform. A comprehensive CCTV system with panic buttons and an app controlled alarm provide unrivalled security and peace of mind. Solid wall construction with full cavity insulation underpins the EPC B rating, a genuine reflection of the quality and integrity of the build. Infrastructure is already in place, including hot and cold water, gas and drainage connections, for a future annexe or outbuilding should further space ever be desired. Outside, the gardens have been landscaped to create a generous yet manageable private space, perfectly suited to family life and outdoor entertaining. Location Gartree Road is one of Oadby's most prestigious and sought after tree lined roads, widely regarded as among the finest addresses in the LE2 postcode and synonymous with substantial, high quality family homes of real standing. The University of Leicester Botanic Garden, 16 acres of beautifully cultivated grounds founded in 1921, sits within easy reach, providing a remarkable green space and a place of quiet beauty on the doorstep.

Originally part of the prestigious `Drakes Estate,` the current owners have maintained the property since 1979. The Grade II listed Aisle barn, one of the few of its kind remaining in Buckinghamshire, dates back around 450 years, though its exact age remains unknown. The barn was originally constructed with five bays, all fully aisled, and stands as a rare example of historic craftsmanship. The charming cottage, once a stable, adds character to the overall property. Nestled in the scenic hamlet of Woodrow, High Barn Farm and Shires Yard occupy a prime elevated position, offering breathtaking views of the Chiltern countryside within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property sits on a plot of approximately 0.75 acres, with the exciting potential to purchase additional land to the front of the site. Currently Contains* Barn One - A four bedroom conversion with kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, four bedrooms and bathroom.* Barn Two - A two bedroom conversion with Kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.* Barn three - An undeveloped barn that could be converted into a two bedroom cottage (Subject to Planning) or Annexe.* Barn Four - This is attached to Barn One and remains undeveloped. So Subject to Planning this could double the size of Barn One, or be an independent property in its own right.Offering nearly 6,000 square feet of space (total), this property provides ample room for development or personal customisation. In 1982, part of the barn was converted, with two of its bays transformed into living space across two floors. This resulted in spacious accommodation, including four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, two cloakrooms, a utility room, and a garage/store. The remaining three bays retain their original, vaulted design, with exposed oak timbers and a large, open space. Planning permission (CH/2017/0467/FA) was granted in March 2017 to further convert the remaining part of the barn into additional living space, adding another 800 sq. ft. to the property. Additionally, the adjoining stables were converted into a spacious end-terrace cottage, featuring two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, two bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The property is complemented by extensive front gardens, mainly laid to lawn and featuring mature flowers, shrubs, and trees. The gravel driveways lead to both the front and rear of the property, with a large courtyard providing ample parking. The original open barn, with its tiled pitched roof, exposed beams, and brick work, offers covered parking for up to four vehicles. The barn store, at approximately 555 square feet, offers fantastic conversion potential into further living space, a studio, office, or other uses. Located within the picturesque hamlet of Woodrow, the property enjoys sweeping views over the Chiltern countryside. The hamlet is conveniently close to the market town of Amersham, where you`ll find an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants, boutique shops, and a supermarket. Amersham on the Hill, just two miles away, offers an overland and underground railway station, providing direct services to London Marylebone, Baker Street, Moorgate, and the City. The area boasts outstanding sporting facilities, with nearby golf courses at Harewood Downs, Beaconsfield, and Denham. Numerous footpaths and bridle ways provide scenic walking and riding routes through the Chilterns. Furthermore, the property is located within Green Belt land, a conservation area, and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the exciting possibility of acquiring additional land to expand the estate further.Flood Risk Surface water - Very Low Rivers and the sea - Very lowOther flood risks Flooding from groundwater is unlikely in this area.

The grounds, extending to approximately one acre, have been thoughtfully landscaped to create structure without formality. Mature planting frames open lawns, terraces and quieter corners, offering privacy and changing outlooks throughout the seasons. It is a setting that feels established and calm, yet entirely manageable. Completing the estate is a substantial triple garage, discreetly positioned and accessed via separate, secure gates, features an external staircase leading to a studio above that lends itself to a range of uses, from a home office to creative space, or ancillary accommodation.

Please note: Planning permission, (17/01457/FUL), which has since lapsed, has previously been granted for the demolition of the triple garage and erection of a pair of semi-detached dwellings (re-submission of 14/01138/FUL).
