Inside
Step through the front door into the thoughtfully designed home where every detail speaks of comfort and style. The central limestone tiled hallway is filled with light with doors leading off into the south facing principal rooms and with one of two staircases rising to the first floor.
At the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen/breakfast room, equipped with an AGA, Lacanche range and steam oven, and provides everything you need to create memorable meals. The double doors in the breakfast area open out onto the stone terrace offering wonderful views across the lawn to the moors of Dartmoor beyond. The main dining room offers a ‘Parisian country flair’ furnished with a large table to comfortably seat 10, a woodburning stove and french doors that open onto the expansive lawn, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Throughout the downstairs, underfloor heating ensures warmth and comfort, adding to the home’s inviting atmosphere. The spacious sitting room offers ample cozy seating for all guests, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring Dartmoor or enjoy a game of cards in front of the roaring woodburning stove. For those who prefer a quieter retreat, a snug TV room provides additional space to relax—an ideal spot for younger guests to enjoy their own space.
Ascend one of the two staircases to the first floor, where you'll find five luxurious en suite bedrooms. Each room has been meticulously designed with premium fittings and tranquil views of the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom is a sanctuary of sophistication, while the remaining rooms boast engineered and reclaimed oak flooring, adding character and charm.
Two of the bedrooms feature freestanding roll-top baths, positioned to take full advantage of the stunning views. These bedrooms also offer luxurious en suite shower rooms, making them the perfect place to relax in ultimate comfort.
Completing the accommodating is The Annex, a one bedroom apartment that has its own entrance or can be accessed down a couple of steps off the dining room.
The lounge is a true highlight, featuring exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling, enhancing the sense of space. Double doors open out into your own enclosed private garden offering the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Cozy up on the sofa by the wood-burning stove for a relaxing evening, or enjoy a meal at the dining table as you plan your next adventure across the moors.
The John Lewis of Hungerford kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals, making it perfect for any ‘chef’ looking to whip up an evening feast. When it’s time to rest, the super king-size bed dressed in luxurious linens ensures a peaceful night’s sleep.

The stone terrace features a woodburning hot tub and looks out over the large swathe of lawn in front of the house as well as the incredible scenery that lies beyond. There is also a separate enclosed garden accessed through french doors from the Annex lounge. Follow the sloping pathways up to an elevated and stone terrace a perfect space for summer dining with the provision of an outdoor kitchen, complete with BBQ and pizza oven and enjoying majestic views over the surrounding countryside.
