Greenawell, Moretonhampstead

Set in a most picturesque 75 acres and surrounded by Dartmoor National park and previously part of the Bovey Castle estate is this expansive and breath-taking family home. Acquired by the current owners in 2005 and having undergone a painstaking programme of renovation, this period home has been restored to it’s former glory as well as extended and reimagined to create a magnificent family dwelling, but also lifestyle, with multiple holiday cottages and homes within the estate that have undergone the same programme of refurbishment. Approached by an expansive drive, Greenawell is a principal farmhouse surrounded by a collection of four highly individual cottages. The farmhouse has been meticulously designed over three floors to make it a wonderful home suitable for modern day living whilst retaining a sense of history and character that can only be realised in a property such as this. A main reception room with an open log burning stove takes centrepiece of the home, and provides panoramic views across the land through intelligently placed glass sliding doors along with a further three reception rooms including a sensational state-of-the-art kitchen and dining space with granite worktops and an opulently decorated and dressed formal dining room, again with an open log burning stove and views across the valley. On the first floor, a free-flowing landing provides access to four of the five bedrooms, each having been modernised and restored to the same unimpeachable standard as the rest of the property providing light and airy spaces whilst retaining the charm that is so akin with a farmhouse. The focal point of the accommodation is, however, the master suite of the home with light flooding in from every aspect as well as a custom-made dressing area and luxury en-suite bathroom with a distinctive shower and a freestanding bath.

The traditional agricultural buildings were all re-imagined and converted to provide four highly individual cottages. Each with its own character and distinct style and all completely independent from one another, allowing for separate use and a myriad of options and potential for either rentals, holiday rentals or as currently used, luxury accommodation for visiting family members. The cottages on offer range from The Granary Cottage, the largest of the four, The Old Stables which is a one bedroom cottage, Horseshoe Cottage provides two bedrooms, and Courtyard Cottage provides three bedrooms. Other outbuildings have been converted to provide entertainment and recreational areas for either holiday guests or children with a games room, a large office and also a gym. Most notably, Greenawell also boasts a dazzling indoor swimming pool measuring circa 15 metres in length with changing rooms and also a full size tennis court in the grounds.

This home also boasts equestrian facilities, with stables constructed in 2006 providing 5 loose boxes, a tack room and feed store. The gardens and grounds are landscaped and have been thoughtfully designed to incorporate original dry stone walls, farm tracks and mature trees. As is emblematic of Dartmoor, large granite stones border gateways and these are perfectly complemented by bespoke wooden gates. Open lawns and flagstone seating areas with colourful perennial beds and a climber covered pergola border the house to create pretty socialising areas taking full advantage of the sensational and uninterrupted views across the land. The property is accessed via a long drive and a substantial amount of parking is available. EPC: C
