Magpie, Devon
Description:
A Grade II Listed former Mine Captain's house of spacious proportions, peacefully situated at the end of a long (600 yards) drive within woodland gardens and paddocks. 4 receptions, kitchen, 6 bedrooms, flexible accommodation, various outbuildings including old smithy and stable, pond. Approximately 9 Acres.
LOCATION
The property is peacefully concealed at the end of a long drive, less than a mile from the old mining village of Horrabridge. Occupying a sheltered setting in the western foothills of Dartmoor National Park, the busy village straddles the River Walkham with its historic bridge. Popular community amenities include a thriving primary school, village hall, 2 churches, public houses and a variety of essential shops, with yet more to be found at nearby Yelverton. Surrounded by farms and fields with quick footpath access to rugged moor, the property provides excellent outriding for those with equestrian interests, and an abundance of surrounding river walks and scenic bike trails. Distant views encompass Dartmoor tors, rambling Roborough Down, iconic Brentor Church and the Cornish skyline.
Tavistock, the classic Stannary/Westcountry market town, is but minutes away, offering many facilities including excellent private schools, notable boutiques and delicatessens, a popular cultural centre and several fine restaurants. Eight miles away, easily commutable, the City of Plymouth has a large and thriving university and important hospital, together with a long and historic waterfront with many cafes, restaurants, art galleries and antique shops centred around the cobbled quayside. Plymouth also benefits from a fast rail link to London (3.5 hours) and a domestic airport.
DESCRIPTION
The Old Mine House comprises a truly enchanting, south facing property, discreetly reached along its own scenic track. The imposing house is both spacious and flexible, having originally been constructed as the Mine Captain's and Mine Manager's houses, which therefore could easily accommodate two families. This is a convenient location providing a beautifully secluded rural retreat, yet with quick accessibility to market town, maritime city, Tamar valley and pristine moor. The 9 acres of gardens and grounds are a particular feature of this property with a wealth of natural areas providing the perfect habitat for an abundance of flora and fauna including badgers, deer, foxes and owls.
The excellent family accommodation extends to approximately 3,000 sq ft (285 sq.m) and retains original features including 12' high ceilings, panelled doors, Victorian fireplaces and sash windows. Two large bay windows dominate the accommodation and command a fine prospect over the woodland gardens. Original stone outbuildings comprise the mine smithy and office, cobbled stables, double piggery and privy, all sympathetically restored in 2006/7 by specialist craftsmen. Conveniently, a footpath leads through and from the property, providing direct access to a network of trails and bridleways accessing Dartmoor's wide open spaces.
