Description
Occupying a magnificent position in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, Thimble Hall takes in some splendid views over the neighbouring moorland landscape.
Hexworthy is an ancient hamlet lying on the West Dart River, surrounded by arguably some of the most picturesque and impressive scenery Dartmoor has to offer.The small community is centred around the local pub/restaurant, the Forest Inn, which has recently been refurbished and has an excellent restaurant. There is also a tiny chapel at nearby Huccaby along with Huccaby Bridge, beneath which flows the Dart. Widecombe Primary School is within striking distance.
The town of Ashburton is a very pleasant twenty minute drive across the moor and has an excellent range of everyday shops and facilities. It is also where the A38 can be joined for Plymouth, Exeter and the M5 Motorway network beyond.
Thimble Hall is a one-off home created from a traditional granite farm building. Beneath its fine thatch roof, incorporating eyebrow windows, lies a spacious and well appointed interior featuring two large reception rooms, each with beamed/timbered ceilings, and one with an impressive granite fireplace and cosy wood-burner. The kitchen-breakfast room has a range of quality units and Siemens appliances whilst upstairs there are four double bedrooms (each having timbered ceilings) served by a modern bathroom and a modern shower room.
Outside, the gardens have been attractively landscaped and have numerous seating areas with views of the more. The garden is also home to the detached studio/garden building which is a flexible space. A large double garage has a thatch roof matching the main house and there is a useful stone barn. The studio building roof has an array of PV panels providing free electricity and revenue from the feed-in tariff, whilst the garage has an EV point.
Thimble Hall is a genuinely unique moorland home which has to be viewed to fully appreciate its charm and character.
