The Ruin is situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Dartington, near Totnes. Dartington has an active community and a good range of facilities, including a primary school, the Steiner School, a popular thatched pub, church, village hall and community-run outdoor swimming pool. The award-winning Ben’s Farm Shop is less than a mile away, as is the Riverford Field Kitchen Organic Restaurant. The Dartington Hall Estate is also very close by, providing beautiful gardens and parkland
walks together with a barn cinema, tea room, the White Hart pub and the Dartington shops with unique boutiques and eateries. Every year the Hall holds a renowned literary festival and international music events.
Approximately three miles away, the historic, market town of Totnes was once described as one of the best places to live in the South West by The Times and was named as one of the top 30 coolest places in Britain by the Sunday Times. The town has a medieval castle, direct access to the River Dart and offers an eclectic range of shops including an organic vegetable shop, a specialist record store, an exceptionally well stocked book shop and many other interesting independent shops. There is a street market twice a week and a monthly food market.
For outdoor pursuits, the property is ideally located: readily accessible to the South Devon coastline, Dartmoor National Park and the award
winning beaches along the English Riviera.
Communication links are also excellent; Totnes has a mainline station giving direct connections to London Paddington and there is also good access to the A38 Devon Expressway which links to the M5 at Exeter. Exeter International Airport, approximately 28 miles away, provides a good range of flights to domestic and European
destinations.
The driveway leads from the road to The Ruin and a large gravelled turning circle with ample space to park multiple vehicles or a boat. There is also a five-bay car port/workshop with electricity connected. The Ruin has two very pretty courtyard gardens, both surrounded by attractive stone walls, one accessed from the kitchen/dining room and the other from the ground floor sitting room. There is also a large lawned garden to the front of the property, surrounded by large established trees and shrubs, affording complete privacy and
seclusion.
