Property description
Introduction This is a very interestingly styled individual Edwardian Detached House with many multi-paned eye catching windows which provide fantastic views of the surrounding area for all the principal rooms and also some others. The detail in this house is quite exceptional. It has been complemented by a complete overhaul, with the last few years spent fine tuning the design and finish to the highest of standards.
The property oozes with traditional style and good workmanship blended together with the modern trend in bathrooms, underfloor heating and energy efficiency. You can feel the homeliness and warmth radiating from the oil fired Aga, the open fires and the friendliness of the room arrangements. Not too large or too many, but great for a family to enjoy without the need to shut off part of the property because of its size.
Without doubt this is a superb property in every way, enhanced by the stunning views and its position in Dartmoor National Park with direct access onto the moor, the convenience of nearby amenities in Bovey Tracey and the easy commute to the M5 motorway, mainline railway station in Newton Abbot and Exeter International Airport.
When Dame Violet Wills of the Wills tobacco family decided to have this property built in 1902 as part of the local family estate, she chose very wisely. We hope you do too!
Location Situated approximately a 5 minute drive of the bustling town of Bovey Tracey (known locally as the gateway to the moor) where there is an excellent range of local amenities and facilities. These include a health centre, several restaurants and public houses, primary school, post office, banks, etc. The market town of Newton Abbot is approximately 15 minutes drive where there is more comprehensive shopping, a mainline railway station (London Paddington approximately 2.5 hours).
The A38 dual carriageway leading to Plymouth and North to Exeter and M5 motorway is approximately 10 minutes. Exeter International Airport approximately 35 minutes.
The coastal resorts of Teignmouth and Shaldon are approximately 40 minutes or so away and Torquay with its International Marina approximately 1 hour.
The property occupies a delightful location inside Dartmoor National Park which covers an area of around 368 square miles and is just below Haytor Rock the landmark granite outcrop. The property has direct access onto the moor and there are many opportunities for walking, riding and fishing. There are golf courses locally at Bovey Castle, Stover and Teign Valley.
The elevation of the property provides some fantastic and spectacular open scenery with distant views of the sea.
Owner Interview “We were both getting quite disenchanted looking at properties to buy. The other house's we viewed never felt quite right - something was always wrong”.
“However, when we stepped inside the House we knew instantly that this was the home for us. We agreed the deal straight away and couldn’t wait to move in! We have been very busy upgrading, remodelling and replacing, including rearranging the garden ever since!”
“For us we like the rooms to flow, not walk up long hallways to find rooms we would never use. We like comfortable size rooms, not rooms that feel decidedly cold and unfriendly in the winter months. Homeliness and friendliness are so important to us.”
“Having said that we still like our space, for example I have my study on the ground floor and my Wife has her study on the first floor. We still have four reception rooms, four large bedrooms and four bathrooms plus lots of other space, but it’s still very manageable.”
“We also wanted a home with a South facing aspect in a countryside setting offering spectacular views. We have achieved that and even more with a lovely outside terrace to sit out or dine on giving us uninterrupted countryside views which extend even as far as the Sea in the distance.”
“Below the terrace we have a large outdoor heated pool with a similar Southerly aspect, ideal for those long summer days when lounging around and taking in the superb scenery with friends and family enjoying such a lovely private position.”
“We will certainly miss this and the rest of our 2 acres of lovely gardens.”
“We wanted convenience of just getting into the car and within five minutes being in a town with most amenities and services being available to us. Again we have certainly achieved this with Bovey Tracey, not only that but the A38 and M5 are very convenient. We can be at Newton Abbot train station in about 15 minutes and arrive in London Paddington just 2 and a half hours later. Exeter airport is just 30 minutes away too!”
“If you like walking, have dogs and children you can walk from our house straight onto the moor and have over 300 square miles of moorland to enjoy! There is even livery close by so anyone interested in horses or ponies will find this very convenient.”
“We are having to move, sadly for business reasons, there will be no onward chain, so intending purchasers can move in quickly. We hope whoever buys Blueburn enjoys our home as much as we have done.”
