Beautifully restored period home with stunning landscaped gardens amounting to 6.5 acres and incredible far reaching views to Yes Tor on Dartmoor

Description

Undergoing a complete renovation over the last 13 years, this unlisted, historic home once believed to have served as the main estate for the area and is thought to date back to the 16th/17th century with Victorian additions. The current owners have completely restored this charming property exposing period features and extending the property to incorporate a new kitchen and double garage creating a lovely home. Pangkor House is accessed via a bright, glazed entrance hall with a range of storage and tiled floors which leads to an open, light, south-facing kitchen enjoying far reaching views to Dartmoor and French windows leading to a patio area and gardens. The snug provides a wonderful, cosy space with an impressive wood burner and inglenook fireplace with arched wooden door surrounds providing a lovely feature.

The original Victorian hallway provides a wonderful contrast in period to the older part of the house. There is a formal Victorian dining room with fireplace and useful built-in storage cupboard. Across the hall is a more formal sitting room which has been opened up into the sun room providing a lovely bright space with stone fireplace and lovely arched window and built in bookshelves. Glazed bi-fold doors lead to the south-facing sun room with wonderful traditional wooden windows and stunning views across the gardens and to Dartmoor. To the front of the house, the current owners have restored a spacious conservatory providing an excellent entertaining space which makes the most of the incredible setting.

To the ground floor, there is an additional kitchen/utility room, boot room and bathroom which have the potential to be separated from the main house to create an annexe subject to any necessary consents. There is a second staircase leading to two good-sized bedrooms, one with fabulous vaulted, beamed ceiling which are currently connected to the main upstairs landing, but have the potential to be separated if required.

Upstairs, there are four additional bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms and wonderful views to Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside. To the front of the house, three of the bedrooms offer French doors to the balcony which runs along the length of the property and is a stunning place to enjoy a morning coffee. The principal double aspect bedroom opens to the dual family bathroom which is beautifully finished with double shower, freestanding bath and fireplace.

Garden and Grounds
Outside doesn’t disappoint, Pangkor House is accessed from the privately owned lane and is approached through gates to a large gravel parking area with space for several cars, ornamental pond and double garage. The gardens and grounds are a wonderful addition to the property and, given its elevation, all sit within the stunning Mid Devon countryside with incredible far reaching views to Dartmoor and Yes Tor. During their ownership, the current owners have completely redesigned the grounds creating a beautiful space which has been opened to the public as part of the Open Garden Scheme and extends to approximately 4 acres.

Wonderful zoned spaces throughout the grounds offer an incredible array of plants and shrubs, stunning seating areas, summer house and gazebo which fully make the most of the views and open lawned areas including croquet lawn, wildflower meadow and vegetable plot with chicken run. They really must be seen to be fully appreciated.

In addition to the main gardens, the owners have restored a cob barn which could have some further potential subject to any necessary consents and currently makes a useful storage building or wood store. A further 2 acres can be accessed across the private lane with the remains of a stone barn with far reaching views to Dartmoor offering much scope and potential subject to any necessary consents.
