From the secluded swimming pool to the expansive flat lawn area, surrounded by high hedges for added privacy, each element has been thoughtfully designed to create different areas for relaxation and entertainment.
The decked entertaining terrace, a notable addition, offers a splendid vantage point to revel in the natural beauty and breathtaking views that envelop the home.

This feature ensures the property not only serves as a haven of beauty and relaxation but also meets the functional and practical needs of owning a country house.
Blueburn stands majestically in a south-facing, elevated position with some of the most exquisite views Dartmoor National Park has to offer. This remarkable family home is surrounded by the stunning unspoilt countryside just beneath Haytor, Dartmoor's iconic landmark, on the national park's eastern fringe.
It embodies a unique blend of privacy and seclusion, without sacrificing convenience and accessibility. The moorland to the north unfurls into breathtaking landscapes, while the property itself remains within easy reach of essential amenities, thanks to nearby access roads.
The Rock Inn, the cosy local village pub, is within walking distance, and the charming town of Bovey Tracey, offering a variety of shops and a farmer's market, is just three miles from the house.
Dartmoor National Park, celebrated for its dramatic granite tors, verdant heather-clad moors, and idyllic valleys crisscrossed by streams and rivers, presents an abundance of possibilities for outdoor activities such as walking, horse riding, cycling, and other country pursuits.
Approximately 20 miles from the property, the Cathedral city of Exeter offers an extensive array of shops, eateries, cafes, and cultural experiences. Exeter's mainline station ensures a swift journey to London Paddington in just over two hours, while Exeter Airport facilitates travel to a variety of domestic and European locations. Additionally, Newton Abbot's mainline station, about 9 miles away, provides services to London Paddington, making the journey in under two and a half hours.
