A wonderful Arts & Crafts Grade II listed Manor House in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park with outstanding views and grounds.
The Manor is a wonderful period property built in the style of Lutyens in circa 1904 and the gardens were designed by Thomas Mawson, one of the leading landscape architects of the Edwardian era, creating an incredibly impressive family home. The house is faced in granite under a pitched roof of Welsh slate and has a very solid feel throughout. The original property has been divided into two, with Hannaford Manor comprising the main body of the original house. The whole home has recently been subject to major refurbishment which now facilitates a superb lifestyle with modern comforts in a beautiful period home.The ground floor centres on the particularly impressive panelled drawing room that forms the heart of the home. This has an attractive fireplace and woodburning stove and also benefits from far reaching views over the Dart Valley. For entertaining there is a lovely Plain English Kitchen with an electric AGA, sub zero fridge freezer, Miele hob as well as a separate pantry. It is accompanied by a superb library and games room which also looks over the grounds and is the perfect space to unwind. From a practical perspectivethere is a very useful separate Plain English utility as well as a generous boot room all of which aid the wonderful lifestyle that can be had with this home.Upstairs the accommodation revolves around the stunning galleried drawing room which has to be one of the most impressive features of the building. There are six bedrooms in total creating very versatile accommodation four of which are en suite. Of real note is the principal suite which takes in the full majesty of its surroundings as well as the morning light. It is worth noting that working from home is a real possibility due to Airband Satellite Business Internet 40Mbps and one of the bedrooms could easily be used as a study.On the top floor there are three bedrooms, all of which are en suite, and a further sitting room area/kitchen area. This area is been sympathetically designed giving real independence to this space.Gardens and groundsThe property is approached over a tarmac and gravel entrance drive to the parking area on the north-western side of the house with ample parking for up to eight cars. The appealing gardens and grounds are split into a variety of different sections and total 4.87 acres. A particular feature is the selection of rare and distinctive plants and trees within the grounds including a magnificent Western Red Cedar that is over 180 years old and one of the largest in England, being over 100 feet high. It is also now home to wonderfultree house which will provide plenty of entertainment for young and old! There is also a walled fruit garden, a separate greenhouse and workshop. From the south-facing gardens there are far-reaching views over the Dart Valley and beyond to the beautiful Buckland Beacon which all add to an overall sense of well being at Hannaford Manor.
Hannaford Manor is situated in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park with direct access to the open moor, and yet is only 3.5 miles from the A38, giving easy access to Plymouth, Newton Abbot, Exeter and the M5. The house is ideally placed with superb views but is sheltered from the prevailing south westerlies. The charming town of Ashburton is just over 3 miles away and offers a range of local shops, restaurants and amenities. These include a superb delicatessen, Fish Deli, Emilias, Rafikis and the Old Library restaurant as well as the thriving Ashburton musical and Arts centre, twelve antique shops and a highly regarded cookery school. Holne itself also has a strong community with a locally run village shop, tea room and Pub.Dartington Hall Trust with its thriving programme of arts and cultural events and Elizabethan timber framed cinema is only 9 miles away. Totnes is approximately 11 miles away with a
