Torbay has extensive, leisure, commercial, retail and seaside facilities and is only a few miles away, whilst the marinas, yachting and boating facilities of Kingswear and Dartmouth are conveniently close. The area has long been appreciated for the combination of beautiful surroundings, accessibility and opportunities of water based recreation. Totnes is a bustling and thriving market town that retains much of its original character, full of interest with a wide range of good local schools, shops and recreational facilities including indoor swimming pool and boating opportunities on the River Dart. Dartmouth, at the mouth of the estuary, is not only an historic fishing and seafaring port but also home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. Communications The nearby town of Totnes is well connected and is just 6 miles away and has speedy access via the A38 dual carriageway to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth and onto the M5 motorway network. 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 Dittisham, a ccess 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). Home Farm.qxp_Stags 23/03/2017 11:56 Page 5 Home Farm.qxp_Stags 23/03/2017 11:56 Page 6 Outside Home Farm overlooks well stocked and cared for gardens to the south and west with a terrace running along the house extending to lawns and a small paddock. There is an enclosed vegetable garden and many ornamental trees and shrubs. The area is very peaceful and therefore the garden enjoys lots of wildlife. In all, extending to approximately 1.25 acres. The drive is protected by electrically operated gates, with remote video entry and extends via the tarmaced drive to a gravelled parking and turning space. There is also a smart timber framed outbuilding providing two garages, a dog kennel and garden storage. Tenure Freehold Services Mains water and electricity, shared private drainage. Oil fired central heating. Rights of Way and Easements Home Farm owns the driveway to the public road, the first section of which (outside the electric gates) the neighbouring properties have rights of way (subject to a contribution to maintenance). In addition, the neighbouring Waddeton Court, enjoys a right of way which is rarely exercised, to its rear drive. The private drainage is shared with all of the properties in the hamlet. It is currently administered by the vendor who is prepared to either keep the responsibility or transfer it with the sale of Home Farm. Viewing Strictly by prior appointment with Stags on 01803 865454 Directions From Totnes proceed towards Paignton on the A385.

  • TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY the Benefice of Totnes With
    TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY Appointment of Team Rector January 2020 AN INTRODUCTION TO he Benefice of Totnes with T Bridgetown, Ashprington, Berry Pomeroy Brooking, Cornworthy Dartington, Marldon and Stoke Gabriel. A note from the Archdeacon Every place is special in its own way, but the ancient market town of Totnes and the beautiful South Hams of Devon in which it is set are exceptional. Both the town itself, with its distinguished history and considerable present interest, and the rural communities surrounding it offer an unusually rich and varied cultural life, from the firmly traditional to the decidedly unconventional. Totnes has long been a centre for those seeking forms of spirituality and lifestyle alternative to the mainstream, at the same time retaining all the inherited elements of a fine old West Country market town. With Dartington Hall, Schumacher College, the Sharpham Estate, and other local organisations operating in the area of the benefice, the range of cultural and educational opportunities on offer locally is high, drawing people to Totnes from across the country and beyond. The villages are home to a mix of incomers and those with local roots. There are areas of great wealth within the benefice, and also areas of severe poverty and social deprivation. In all this, the churches of the benefice demonstrate a clear and increasing engagement with their vocation to grow in prayer, make disciples, and serve the people of their communities with joy. The person called to be the next Team Rector will need to demonstrate the capacity to exercise strong, clear, loving leadership in mission and service, working with a gifted and motivated team of colleagues to develop and implement the impressive action plan to which the churches are committed.

  • Earthwork in Staverton Ford Plantation, Dartington, Devon Review and Survey
    EARTHWORK IN STAVERTON FORD PLANTATION, DARTINGTON, DEVON REVIEW AND SURVEY STEWART BROWN ASSOCIATES 2018 EARTHWORK IN STAVERTON FORD PLANTATION, DARTINGTON, DEVON REVIEW AND SURVEY By Stewart Brown Associates 2018 SUMMARY An archaeological survey was carried out on an earthwork site in Staverton Ford Plantation, Dartington. At present, prior to any excavation, the site is interpreted as of probable medieval date and its likely purpose is as a hunting lodge or warrener’s lodge, although earlier origins cannot be ruled out. Previous surveys and descriptions of the site carried out in 1980 and 2000 are reviewed. THE PROJECT Dartington Hall Estate commissioned a review and survey of an earthwork site interpreted as the remains of a medieval hunting lodge in Historic England’s scheduled monument description (the site is listed as a part of the scheduled monument referred to as the ‘deer park’ - List Entry Number: 1020870; Appendix 1, below). The work was carried out to better understand the monument in order to inform its future management. ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE EARTHWORK (Fig. 1) Prehistoric The area immediately surrounding the site contains four other earthwork sites whose origin dates from prehistoric and Roman times. In North Wood, there are three Iron Age hilltop enclosures, two at least of which were re-used in the Romano-British period (Historic England List Entry Number 1020381). In Chacegrove Wood, there is another hilltop enclosure of prehistoric date (Historic England List Entry Number 1020553). In addition, prehistoric flint finds, dated provisionally to the Mesolithic Period, have been collected from fieldwalking in a nearby field (Gloyns 2015).
