By train, the Intercity rail link at Totnes has several trains a day to and from London in just under 3 hours. By air, Exeter Airport, just off the M5 at Exeter is a hub for Flybe. The River Dart Whilst Home Farm has outstanding rural views to the river at , access to the River Dart can be gained from Galmpton Creek, Greenway Quay or at Stoke Gabriel. There are two marinas at Kingswear, only 6 miles from the property. There are pleasant walks through the National Trust woodland to Greenway a short distance from the property. Description Home Farm is a former farmhouse, probably dating back to the 19th Century that has been superbly extended and modernised in recent years. Electrically operated double gates lead to the tarmac drive with ample parking and access to the outbuildings and house. The splendid property has been extensively modernised to a high specification and ample light floods through the numerous large south facing windows. Internally the house is very flexibly laid out. The initial design brief was to reserve the best of the views and light for the master bedroom and the informal family accommodation. There are two further luxurious guest suites. The large formal open plan drawing room and dining room on the ground floor accesses the terrace and garden beyond through the French windows, which also provide a significant amount of light to flood into this room. The luxurious first floor has ample cosy space with the integral kitchen, breakfast and living room which also enjoy the best of the river views, especially from the generous balcony. The master bedroom, at the top of the fine oak staircase, is well sized, has its own south facing balcony, an ensuite bathroom and a dressing room. The specification is sophisticated with all bathroom fittings by Villeroy & Boch, the fitted kitchen by Barnes of Ashburton, extensive use of underfloor heating and air conditioning, and CCTV. There is also a “secure Room”. While house has been virtually rebuilt, the north end was always a separate cottage. While it is now integrated into the house for practical purposes, it retains it’s own front door, kitchen, living room and bedroom & bathroom on the first floor, now the third guest suite. (This area is coloured blue on the floor plan). The north end of the house has its own entrance, kitchen and staircase and can therefore be used as a guest suite or a holiday let (as shaded blue on the floorplan).
