Quite literally this beautiful home is in a world of its own. Nestled in a wooded enclave within Halsden Nature Reserve this stunning Grade II listed home is just so quintessentially Devon, a real picture postcard. This is the perfect retreat for those looking to get away from it all and enjoy the best that Devon has to offer. My first visit to the house was enough to know I was entering something special.

As you would expect in an older building there are several fireplaces one with a log burning stove to help keep you nice and cosy in those long winter nights whilst enjoying a glass of your favourite tipple. The home offers a fantastic family space with plenty of room for expansion and entertaining.

Practical reasons for wanting such a property aside, this stunning home comes into its own as you walk through the front door out into the rose garden with all its beautiful aromas. Imagine taking your first cup of tea for the day sat outside watching the buzzards overhead and hearing nothing but the morning bird chorus and the clucking of pheasants around. As the sun rises the full beauty of your new home is revealed. The front yard not only gives access to the house but also the many barns and outbuildings on offer which with the relevant permissions could be converted as an alternative use. From here access is gained to both the wood and pasture land that comes with the house that in total approaches thirty acres.

On clear nights without any light pollution around, the stars sparkle like diamonds dancing around in the moonlight with an unmistakable backdrop of the owls twit twooing in the trees.

I could keep waxing lyrical about this beautiful home and surroundings but there is no substitute for taking a look in person. I strongly urge you to take the time to experience it for yourself and would love the opportunity to meet with you there to help embed what you see on paper in the flesh.
