The gardens lie immediately beside the property providing lovely patio and lawned areas, while the land lies mostly to the north west and comes to around 25 acres of pasture and hay meadows. All the paddocks are well-drained - one has a large timber barn and there is also a large outdoor riding arena.
The River Mardle runs through part of the land.
Old Brook Farm is on the south eastern fringes of the Dartmoor National Park and occupies a wonderfully peaceful position in the Mardle Valley just two miles from Buckfastleigh and close to Holne and Ashburton. Dartmoor is renowned for its wonderful riding and walking and the house is well placed for easy access to sailing, boating and fishing on the South Devon Coast.
The guide price is £1.8m. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01392 848 823 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
