SITUATION
The property is situated in a delightful rural location approximately 2 miles from the village of Lewdown with a post office/general store, primary school, pub and ‘Jethro’s’ restaurant and entertainment venue. Lydford, with its amazing gorge and picturesque village are approximately 3 miles away. The ‘Gateway to Dartmoor’, Okehampton is about 9 miles distance, with its excellent range of local facilities, including new leisure centre, cinema, hospital, several supermarkets, including Waitrose, and state primary and secondary schools. From Okehampton there is easy access onto the A30 dual carriageway, leading west to Cornwall and east to the university and cathedral city of Exeter, less than half an hour away by car, where there are railway stations with mainline connections to London, an international airport and access onto the M5 motorway. To the south west and about 10 miles distance is the ancient stannary and market town of Tavistock, where there are excellent opportunities for private education, with Mount House Preparatory School and Kelly College Preparatory and Secondary Schools. Just a few miles to the south is the Dartmoor National Park, renowned for its spectacular scenery and providing excellent recreational opportunities.

THE PROPERTY
This former lime kiln was built in 1855 and converted into a home approximately 100 years later. Nestling in a wooded hollow, it is constructed from Devon stone and has been the subject of considerable expenditure and improvement in recent years. The gardens are a feature of the property with attractive original hedges, flowerbeds and banks, numerous mature shrubs and trees. The lawned area is on two main levels; the lower surrounds a large pond and provides access to a secluded gazebo, the upper leads into the paddock and to the outbuildings.
Due to the layout of the property, as well as being the perfect home for an active family, there is plenty of scope to work from home without encroaching on domestic space, or use spare bedrooms for an additional source of income.
