A wonderful family home with excellent, free flowing accommodation in a charming location, between the Teign Valley and Dartmoor whilst enjoying beautifully established gardens and a paddock
Harvest Down has been enhanced greatly by the current owners during their ownership and is now a superb family home with generous living accommodation, wonderful space for entertaining and everyday family life. The property also enjoys an abundance of natural light and established gardens that wrap around the whole of the property and a further paddock. Inside the porch and entrance hall is incredibly inviting and is perfect for welcoming guests, to the left is the triple aspect kitchen/dining room which is clearly the heart of the home. The kitchen itself is very well appointed in a farmhouse shaker style with granite surfaces and centred around the island. There are pretty views out onto the rear courtyard and garden from the sink unit and double French doors out onto the west facing terrace. There is ample space for a generous dining table and adjacent to the kitchen area is a useful utility room.
A room of particular interest is the sitting room which is again triple aspect with a floor to ceiling window and two sets of French doors. There is a charming Inglenook fireplace with Heavitree stone, a slate hearth, timber mantle and Clearview woodburning stove creating a real focal point in the room, although your eyes will always be drawn outside! Further
accommodation on the ground floor includes a spacious study, bedroom five (double aspect with French doors onto the garden and an ensuite), a further reception room offering a great deal of flexibility for use and a cloakroom.
Stairs rise to the first floor where you are immediately greeted with an open landing giving you a sense of space. The principal bedroom is a noteworthy room with a beautiful floor to ceiling arched window looking out onto the garden. There are also two French doors allowing access onto a private balcony perfect for a morning coffee or tea whilst enjoying the tranquil location. The principal bedroom also enjoys a walk in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. Bedroom two again has a private west facing balcony, built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room which can also be accessed from bedroom four. Bedroom three has use of the family bathroom with a double vanity sink and marble vanity tops.
Gardens and Grounds
Outside doesn't disappoint, to the front the driveway provides ample parking for at least five cars, from here there is a pretty path of Indian sandstone which leads though the front garden, flanked by lawns and established trees and shrubs to the front door.
Around all four sides of Harvest Down is either a lawn or terrace meaning you can follow the sun around all day if desired. There are mature fruit trees and other interesting specimen trees dotted around the grounds, as well as a large vegetable garden. The rear courtyard is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy this magical location together with the terrace directly outside the kitchen/dining room where there is an impressive pizza oven. Beyond this is the paddock which is currently an extension to the garden but can also provide an opportunity to keep animals.
Outbuildings include a useful workshop, two stores and an open log store.

Harvest Down is a very special property in a wonderful location. I love the amount of natural light the house benefits from together with the charming gardens. I could see myself spending many hours on the terrace next to the impressive pizza oven!
