Description
Set behind tall timber gates providing a feeling of privacy and security, White House occupies a wonderful setting within Dartmoor National Park below the moor at Haytor Vale.
There is spectacular walking country on the doorstep and Haytor Vale has an excellent public house and restaurant, The Rock Inn. The nearby village of Ilsington has a village store/post office, primary school, church, village hall, public house and Country House Hotel with a fitness/spa centre.
The towns of Bovey Tracey (around 4 miles) and Ashburton (around 7 miles) each offer a good range of everyday shops and amenities, whilst the larger market town of Newton Abbot lies around 8 miles to the south. The A38 at Drumbridges, for Exeter and Plymouth, is about ten minutes by car.
White House is a one-off home created by the conversion some years ago of a former stable building and hayloft. It provides flexible accommodation including a self-contained ground floor annexe which the present owners have successfully run as an Airbnb but which would also make a perfect annexe for a family member seeking an independent living space. The annexe can also be part of the main house accommodation with an existing door in place (currently closed-off but easy to reinstate by removal of a single panel),
The whole property is presented and fitted to a high standard both inside and out and features oak and maple floors and cosy wood-burners in each of the two reception rooms. Outside, well tended landscaped gardens provide a sheltered, private setting and contain and a huge variety of shrubs to keep the keenest of gardeners entertained. A smart gated drive with ample parking leads to a substantial detached double garage with electric remote door and there are various hardscaped seating areas around the property.
