THE PROPERTY

The Grade II* listed Whiddon Park House in its current form was probably completed at the turn of the 16th Century and indeed there is a date plaque of 1649 over the front door.  It was the seat of the Whyddon family who also created the wonderful deer park which adjoins the property.  The three storey façade is of granite ashlar with mullioned windows.  The principal rooms face east over the enclose front gardens and contain open fireplaces with granite surrounds.  Behind the house a thatched barn provides good outside storage for garaging, garden machinery and stabling.  A line of mature beech trees separates the parking area at the rear of the house from a small paddock area, currently partly used as a vegetable garden.

SITUATION

Whiddon Park House is located in the beautiful National Trust estate surrounding Castle Drogo in the Teign valley on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park.  It is a quiet setting at the end of a private lane with access into the Whiddon Deer Park and to the riverside walks along the wooded banks of the River Teign.  The ancient stannary town of Chagford is just over one mile away where there is a wide variety of day to day and specialist shops, pubs and restaurants.  There is also good schooling, parish church, chapel and Roman Catholic church.  For wider facilities, Exeter is easily accessible via the A30 dual carriageway.

THE PROPERTY

The tenement of Hartyland is over 500 years old although the current house dates from 1927 but incorporates an older granite dwelling.  The house, which is not listed, comprises a granite built double fronted home with slate hung front elevations beneath a tiled roof with subtle eyebrow features and leaded windows.  Over the last eight years this lovely house has been the subject of improvement and restoration and now offers spacious character accommodation and is ideal as a large family home or for business potential.  Most of the principal rooms face due south and enjoy a superb view over moorland fields towards Bellever Forest and Tor.  The generous rooms, most of which are named, are all presented in excellent decorative order and the whole house has been rewired and replumbed to cater for modern levels of heating, electrical and media requirements.  The gardens have been extensively restored and improved with working fountains, pools and leats in the granite rock gardens, a wooded area, a vegetable garden, poultry run, greenhouse and a large level grassed area with standing stones enjoying views in every direction.  Fowlers strongly recommend an accompanied viewing of Hartyland.

SITUATION

Located at grid reference 644795 on the Dartmoor North map, the house at Hartyland sits facing due south and looking to Bellever Tor at the front with Hartland Tor to the north and Merripit Hill to the east.  A gate on the western boundary leads out to a path on the banks of the East Dart, there is direct moorland access and the situation is nothing short of superb.  Access is along a private track off the public lane which leads to a large gravelled parking area out of sight of the property, but with a spur to the side door and garage to the side of the house if needed.  Postbridge has a pub, moorland information centre and two or three bed and breakfast properties.  There are regular public bus services and school buses are provided with primary schooling in Princetown and senior schooling in Tavistock.  The ancient stannary town of Chagford is approximately 8 miles away with a wide variety of day to day and specialist shops, a dentists, doctors and veterinary surgery, primary school, pre school and Montessori.  Tavistock is approximately 12 miles, Plymouth approximately 18 miles and Exeter approximately 20 miles.
