5 bed detached house for sale

Moorland Close, Yelverton, Devon PL20

A home with Dartmoor on the doorstep

Some homes are defined by their accommodation. Others are defined by their setting. Heathfield offers both.

Occupying an enviable position adjoining the open moorland of Roborough Down, this distinctive triple-fronted period residence combines the character, proportions and individuality of an early 20th-century home with substantial extensions that have created an exceptionally spacious and versatile family property.

Approached through a gated entrance, the property immediately benefits from a wonderful sense of privacy and space. The main driveway opens directly from the moorland lane, providing extensive parking and turning, while a second driveway and access are available from the private no-through road of Moorland Close.

Inside, the accommodation is unusually generous and offers a superb degree of flexibility for modern family life.

The impressive 30ft kitchen, living and dining room forms the heart of the home. Designed around a country-style kitchen with central island, wooden flooring, Rayburn, log burner and integrated appliances, the room provides plenty of space for cooking, dining, relaxing and entertaining - a genuine room in which family life can revolve.

There is also a generous 19ft sitting room, separate study and an excellent games room with patio doors opening directly onto the garden. The games room could equally provide an ideal family room, entertaining space, hobby room or children's play area depending upon individual requirements.

A spacious conservatory, welcoming hallway and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are five spacious double bedrooms, making this an ideal proposition for a growing family or for those looking for additional accommodation for guests, home working or hobbies.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with its own dressing room and en suite facilities. A second bedroom also benefits from an en suite, with the remaining bedrooms served by the family bathroom.

Outside

The gardens are one of Heathfield's defining features.

Mature trees, shrubs and established planting create a private and attractive setting around the house, with generous level lawns providing plenty of space for children, entertaining and enjoying the outdoors.

An elevated terrace, accessed directly from the house via multiple sets of patio doors, provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining and summer entertaining, with a pleasant outlook across the gardens.

There is also a detached garage, garden shed and log store, together with the extensive driveway parking.

And then there is the moor...

Perhaps the property's greatest attraction is what lies immediately beyond its boundaries.

Open moorland is directly accessible from Heathfield, giving the new owners the extraordinary opportunity to step out from home and straight into the Dartmoor landscape.

Whether it is an early morning walk, a run after work, a weekend cycle ride or simply the freedom to explore the countryside with the family and dog, this is a setting that offers something very special.

Yet despite this wonderfully rural environment, the property is less than two miles from Yelverton and its excellent range of everyday amenities, while Tavistock is approximately six miles away and Plymouth around ten miles.

Yelverton provides a useful selection of shops and services including a Co-op, doctor's surgery, butcher, delicatessen, chemist, post office, hairdresser and garage, as well as the local golf course.

For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, the surrounding area offers superb opportunities for walking, cycling, golf and watersports, with Drake's Trail, the River Tavy, Tamar and the wider Dartmoor National Park all within easy reach.

The opportunity

Heathfield represents a rare combination of period character, substantial family accommodation, mature private grounds and immediate access to open countryside, while remaining within easy reach of the amenities of Yelverton, Tavistock and Plymouth.

With no onward chain, this is an exciting opportunity to acquire a genuinely individual home in one of the area's most appealing settings.

For anyone looking for space, character and the freedom of Dartmoor on the doorstep, Heathfield deserves a closer look.
