LOCATION: Set in an exceptional position on the doorstep of Haytor and the open landscapes of Dartmoor National Park, this is a location that offers an enviable combination of rural tranquillity, outstanding scenery and surprisingly easy access to everyday amenities.

The surrounding countryside is quite literally on the doorstep, with miles of open moorland, granite tors and footpaths to explore on foot. The area is particularly appealing for walkers, cyclists and those who simply enjoy being outdoors. Wildlife is abundant, with Dartmoor ponies, native birds and other moorland and woodland species regularly seen across the area, while deer are also regularly spotted in the grounds of the property itself.

For a coffee, lunch or a meal out, there are a number of popular rural cafés, pubs and restaurants nearby, including The Rock Inn at Haytor Vale and Tinpickle And Rhum at The Moorland Hotel, while Ullacombe Farm Cafe & Shopprovides a farm shop and café on the road towards Bovey Tracey.

The nearby village of Ilsington has a village shop, while Bovey Tracey, approximately four miles away, provides a wider range of everyday amenities including independent shops, cafés, pubs, a supermarket and community facilities.

Despite its rural setting, the property is well placed for travel. Bovey Tracey provides access to the A38 Devon Expressway, giving straightforward connections towards Exeter and Plymouth, while Newton Abbot offers a mainline railway station with services towards Exeter, Plymouth and beyond. Exeter is also readily accessible for city shopping, business and leisure.
