OUTSIDE:
Approach the property down a long farm lane which in turn leads towards the property where there is parking for several cars and two garages making useful storage - one currently being used as a stable. To both sides of the lane are fields taking in the impressive moorland setting around. Gate opens to the main gardens which consist of level lawned areas, a wealth of naturally stocked flower beds, shrubs and trees bordering the lawn, creating a haven for wildlife and over 50 species of birds. Old swimming pool now making a natural wildlife pond. Useful storage sheds. Access to an extensive vegetable garden which in turn leads to the top field. Access can be gained into the property by both the front, rear and side entrance. The house sits centrally within the gardens and again views from the entire gardens are extensive. From the gardens there is an unmade track which can be accessed from the main driveway and provides vehicular access to the outbuildings and lower field. The lower field is a traditional Dartmoor hay meadow with upwards of 52 species of plants including 3 species of orchids: this field allows access to the impressive, ancient granite enclosure (said in some books on Dartmoor to be prehistoric) topped with a circle of Beech trees, which is part of the property.
