Description

Dating back to 1750, Fursdon Farm occupies an enviable rural setting in a protected valley, close to the pretty village of Sherford, which combined with the neighbouring creekside village of Frogmore, maintain an active community. The idyllic location is conveniently located to several well-served local villages including Chillington which has a post office/shop and health centre and Stokenham, with its parish church, primary school and two highly-regarded pubs.

The house is just over 3 miles from Kingsbridge which offers extensive shopping facilities including a health centre, small hospital, sports centre and the highly regarded Kingsbridge Community College.

The bustling and thriving market town of Totnes is 12 miles away and from here there is a regular direct train service to London Paddington.

The generous living accommodation on the ground floor comprises a David Salisbury Orangery with stylish kitchen and two sets of French doors to the terrace with gardens beyond. An adjoining living room is beautifully proportioned with a marble fireplace, wood burning stove and access to the garden. The south facing study has bespoke cabinetry and the games room a fine fireplace with wood burning stove. At the rear is a TV room and there is also a utility room, boot room and guest cloakroom on this level.

A triple aspect principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the first floor enjoys lovely views across the garden. There are 4 further bedrooms off the spacious landing, two are en-suite, and there is a family bathroom.

The beautifully landscaped gardens are a real feature of this period home. Immediately outside the kitchen is a fabulous terrace overlooking the gently sloping lawns which are planted with shrub and flower borders and mature trees; a stream at the top runs through the garden to a pond at the bottom with woodland and paddocks beyond. There is also a walled garden with some vegetable beds, and espaliered fruit trees as well as a tennis court and seating areas enjoying the glorious valley views. There is also a generous barn which comprises a number of stables and storage areas, subject to any necessary consents, this could be converted.

The Linhay is a two bedroom cottage, ideal for guests, family or income if desired.

In all, Fursdon Farm offers the opportunity of a lifestyle in a high quality house nestled in the beautiful South Hams countryside, close to the sea.
