6 bedroom detached house

A beautifully refurbished Grade II listed family home in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, set within 26 acres of grounds with outbuildings and secondary accommodation.

The approach to Northill is superb, via a long tree lined driveway that sweeps through the grounds to the front of the house and leading to a large parking and turning area behind. The house is set centrally within its approximately twenty six acres of grounds, in a peaceful and private position with far-reaching views.

The house is Grade II listed and it is believed there has been a house on the site since the 13th century. The current house dates from the 1590's with a large wing added in the early 20th century. There are an abundance of period features, including magnificent fireplaces and four staircases, two of which are the original granite spiral staircases. These wonderful traditional Dartmoor longhouse features are complemented by a contemporary but sympathetic refurbishment that has brought the property firmly into the twenty first century with modern appliances, exceptional entertaining spaces and beautifully finished bathrooms.

Within the grounds of Northill and with separate access via a spur off the main drive, Northill Lodge provides exceptional secondary accommodation
to the main house. Currently used as a holiday let, the lodge is finished to the same exacting standards as the main house. The building is a former stable block, and is timber clad with stunning views over the Teign Valley from its elevated position.

Northill is surrounded by about twenty six acres of established gardens, parkland and woodland giving the property great privacy and protection. The gardens are a mixture of sweeping lawns, established borders and majestic mature trees. There are a number of areas to sit and enjoy the stunning views, and an extensive cobbled terrace provides an ideal barbeque and fire-pit area for the warmer months. A beautiful leat runs through the
grounds adding to the magical atmosphere of the setting.

To the rear of the house is a party barn/games room with first floor loft storage. The standard of the build and finish is superb and it provides numerous options for a new owner.

Attached to the party barn/games room is a garden store and large garage, to the rear of which is a laundry.

Northill occupies a private and peaceful position at the end of a long drive and set in the midst of its own land in the heart of Dartmoor National Park. The property enjoys a magical setting with stunning views over its own land and the surrounding countryside, whilst being within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.

The popular and sought-after town of Chagford is about 2 miles from Northill and has previously been voted as one of the best rural places to live
in Britain by The Sunday Times. It boasts a wide range of speciality shops including a library, butcher, wine shop, bakery, artisan bakers, organic food shop, weekly market and delicatessen as well as various restaurants, cafes and four pubs. There is an excellent primary school, Montessori school and an outdoor river-fed community swimming pool.

The world-renowned Gidleigh Park Hotel is nearby and features a two starred Michelin restaurant. In addition, Bovey castle has a superb 18 hole golf course and extensive leisure facilities, which is about 6 miles away. Dartmoor National Park is renowned for the beauty and diversity of its countryside, as well as the many sporting and recreational activities on offer.
