Fantastic Architecturally Designed Four Double Bedroom Detached Moorland House with 1/2 acre of gardens and in a Fabulous Location Designed to Maximise its Tranquil Setting and Panoramic Views of Dartmoor.  NO ONWARD CHAIN. Quote Ref DT0134

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A wonderfully located and genuinely unique detached house situated within Dartmoor National Park, Harwood Cottage is next to open moorland and enjoying the most amazing panoramic  views across the Walkham valley towards the slopes and tors of western Dartmoor from Brentor Church to the north to Peek Hill to the east.

It is an excellently designed house, which has been greatly improved and modernised in recent years by the current owners of 26 years with modern en-suites, bathroom and kitchen/breakfast room in 2014/2015.

Arranged over three split level floors the house has four double bedrooms, two en-suites, bathroom, separate WC, utility room, double garage, driveway parking with five bar gate, kitchen/breakfast room and an open plan dining area to living room which takes advantage of the views to the rear of the house.

French architect, Michel Boulesteix, responsible for a number of unique properties in the area, we believe designed the house (which was built in the 1990's) to incorporate the lie of the land and the amazing views the site has.   He certainly managed to accomplish this with flying colours.

The gardens are L shaped and about an half an acre and include a variety of mature shrubs, bushes and lawns and a lovely area of meadow with further spaces for shrubs and other plants.  With its feeling of tranquillity and privacy you will just love the outside space.  The patio to the rear from the living room would be a lovely spot to relax or entertain friends and family.

The house is accessed along a private road, on to open moorland.   The village of Horrabridge is nearby with a primary school (Ofsted Rated 'Good'), garage, Church, two great pubs, bakery, hairdressers, post office/store and a fish and chip shop.  Further facilities are to be found at Yelverton, just a mile or so away which includes a Co-op, petrol station, pharmacy and butcher.

This truly wonderful property has the best of both worlds.   It is within moments of your commute to work or through your front gate onto Dartmoor for a ramble or taking your dog for a walk or your children exploring the moor.

VENDORS COMMENT

We bought Harwood Cottage for its location, with the north end of Roborough Down right outside our gate, and living here has been wonderful.  We often walk west on the Down, past Long Ash to Double Waters and along the River Walkham to Grenofen Bridge, and encounter sheep, ponies, and cattle on the way.  Other favourite walks from the house are to Pew Tor, Meavy, Yelverton, The Garden House, and Buckland Monachorum.  Our location on the west side of Dartmoor has given us easy access to the open moorland at Burrator Reservoir, Princetown, Postbridge, Two Bridges, and Pork Hill.  

When not walking or working outside, we relax on the couch looking out across the Walkham valley to fields and moorland tors, where the amazing view changes with the season and weather.  In our 26 years here, we have never tired of the panorama from Brentor, Gibbet Hill, Cox Tor, and around to North Hessary and Peek Hill.  The house and garden are quiet, with no street lamps nearby.  It gives us a sense of being in the country, yet we are two minutes' drive to the A386 hidden down in the valley.  To us this has been the best of all worlds.
