4 bedroom detached house

Parsons Loaf is a superb contemporary home situated on the edge of the much sought-after village of Lustleigh.

The house has been built on five different levels to the highest of specifications with careful attention paid to the finishes and a wonderful sense of quality throughout. The house is ideal for entertaining with sliding glass doors leading directly outside from the kitchen dining room into the garden beyond making al fresco dining a real possibility.

For cosy nights in there is a fabulous sitting room with a large open feature fireplace and exposed oak beams along with superb ceiling heights. There is a sunny family room. All the key rooms have access to the exterior leading to a wonderful connection between the beautiful garden and the property. For working from home there are two studies as well and good internet throughout. The bedroom accommodation is well arranged, and the principal suite is very attractive.

It is also worth noting that Parsons Loaf has sound environmental credentials with a heat recovery system and a ground source heat pump. This heats not only the house but also the swimming pool. The house is very well insulated and benefits from natural green roofs on parts of the property which have matured and create a real feature. As well as the main building there are a number of barns. These could obviously be converted subject to the necessary consents but are currently used as a car port, log shed and storage.

Gardens and grounds.
The garden itself is a major feature of the house with many mature trees and shrubs as well as the pool area which is a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The herb garden is also particularly attractive. There are two large fields amounting to about six acres which would be ideal for equestrian use but also offer a wonderful spot to take in the far reaching views over Dartmoor towards Hound Tor. Beyond this there is some outstanding ancient woodland full of granite outcrops and bulbs which is flooded with snowdrops and bluebells in the Spring.

The picturesque Dartmoor village of Lustleigh, with its period houses and cottages clustered around the village square, with popular Inn, tea shop, shop/post office, church and cricket ground, is one of the area’s most beautiful. To the north and south are the towns of Moretonhampstead and
Bovey Tracey, with a full section of local amenities. There are private schools in the area, at nearby Stover and a selection in the University and cathedral city of Exeter.

Dartmoor is renowned for its spectacular scenery, with granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys, bisected by rushing streams and rivers, and there are many varied opportunities on the doorstep for walking, riding,
cycling and fishing.

There are 18 hole golf courses at Bovey Castle and Stover whilst Bovey Tracey provides a driving range and 9 hole course. Lustleigh has many beautiful and historic buildings and a good selection of local amenities, including a village shop & post office, tea rooms and an excellent pub; The
Cleave. A more extensive range of facilities can be found in nearby Bovey Tracey or Moretonhampstead, whilst the Cathedral and University City of Exeter is only 20 miles away.
The A38 Devon Expressway, to the south of Bovey Tracey has dual carriageway links to Plymouth and the M5 motorway at Exeter.
