Substantial 4-bed detached country house with Dartmoor views on c.1.37 acres.
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, generous reception rooms and study
Brackenwood is a substantial detached country house set on about 1.37 acres with far-reaching views over Dartmoor and the Dart Valley. The house offers generous reception space ideal for family living and entertaining: a large sitting room, separate library/study, and a kitchen/breakfast room that opens directly onto the garden and paved terrace. The principal suite occupies a commanding position with the best outlook; three further bedrooms and family bathroom complete the upper floor.
Practical features are strong for a rural home: underfloor heating throughout, oil-fired boiler, double glazing installed post-2002, a generous utility/boot room, stables and a triple car port plus additional parking. The site is private and elevated, with mature planting and a wrap-around terrace that maximises al fresco dining and long-distance views across the valley.
Location is a key asset: situated in the heart of Dartmoor National Park with direct moor access yet only c.3.9 miles from the A38 for links to Newton Abbot, Exeter and Plymouth. Local services are close by in Ashburton and Holne village, and there are multiple schooling options in the wider area. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent respectively, supporting home working from the study or library.
Important practical points to note: the property dates from c.1930–1949, so owners should expect age-related maintenance and periodic upkeep. Heating is oil-fuelled—convenient and effective but subject to running costs and fuel availability. Council tax is noted as expensive, reflecting the property size and setting. The location is rural and largely accessible by private transport; this suits buyers seeking privacy and countryside life rather than daily town-centre convenience.
