"The property occupies a delightful, rural setting, near to Grimstone Manor, and about a mile from Horrabridge, within easy reach of the open moor. It is a stylishly presented family house, faced mainly in stone with some timber cladding.

The entrance drive leads in to the partly cobbled forecourt and parking area in front of the house. The living accommodation is on the first floor and essentially of open plan design, with 31 foot kitchen dining room with exposed wood boarded flooring and kitchen area with fitted cupboards and island. The sitting room is also over 30 feet with exposed boarded floor and woodburner and, from the kitchen, glazed doors open to the conservatory with glazed doors out to both the gardens and the timber decked terrace which receives plenty of sun.

There is a bedroom study with en suite shower room on the first floor and principal and guest suites and two further bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor. The house is also perfectly set up for working from home with good Wifi throughout.

Around the house are superb lawned gardens edged by trees and ornamental shrubs and, beyond, are extensive areas of grassland and a beautiful wildflower meadow with mown pathways, fringed by many mature trees. Adjoining is an area of beautiful mature wild woodland, the whole being an idyllic haven for wildlife and a plethora of wild flora and fauna.

Grimstone Mews is about a mile outside the popular village of Horrabridge, on the banks of the beautiful River Walkham, traversed by its historic bridge, on the western edge of Dartmoor National Park, between Tavistock and Yelverton.

In the village are two pubs, a shop and primary school, whilst nearby Yelverton has a parade of shops with mini supermarket, butcher, delicatessen, caf and pharmacy. There is also a doctors surgery, post office, petrol station and vets surgery, in addition to a golf club and cricket, tennis and bowling clubs.

The ancient market and stannary town of Tavistock, about 4 miles away, is the only town in Devon to hold World Heritage status and has an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes as well as a hospital, gym, swimming pool and arts centre. There is a secondary school and private education with Mount Kelly School and preparatory school. There is golf both here and at St Mellions, about 13 miles away, and several National Trust properties nearby, including Lydford Gorge, Buckland Abbey and Cotehele.

Grimstone is near to the open moor, including such local beauty spots as the Walkham Valley and Burrator Reservoir. Dartmoor is renowned for its spectacular scenery with its heather clad moorland, granite tors and wooded valleys bisected by rushing streams and rivers and there are many opportunities on the doorstep for walking, riding, fishing or observing the diverse and abundant wildlife of the National Park.

To the south is the city of Plymouth with train station with mainline connections to London Paddington and from where there are ferries to France and Spain.

The glorious south coast of Devon and Cornwall is also within easy reach, with its estuaries, beaches, coves and rocky cliffs, the South West Coast Path and facilities for sailing at Plymouth, with its marinas, the Tamar Estuary and Plymouth Sound and further afield..
