Elegant townhouse with Dartmoor views
This Victorian townhouse in Hatherleigh offers great views of Dartmoor in the distance, and is an easy walk to the centre


Elmfield House is a Victorian villa built in 1868 located in the Devon market town of Hatherleigh, and constructed of colour-washed rendered elevations under a slate roof.
The property has retained many of its period features including open fireplaces and sash windows in the reception rooms, which include the drawing room, dining room and a large study with built-in bookshelves. The breakfast room abuts the kitchen which is a very large space with fitted wooden units and access to the front door. The attic is accessed by the hallway, and the cellars are accessed from the breakfast room.
