Description Originally built as the village Rectory in the 1890’s, The Hey was created using traditional Dartmoor building trades and local stone. It is unlisted, has great character and is a spacious and charming family home with an attractive landscaped Dartmoor garden, a conservatory, a fruit and vegetable garden and an attached field of approximately 4 acres. The accommodation comprises three spacious reception rooms plus a study and a separate office set beneath a glazed roof over a small courtyard and a kitchen/ breakfast room with an Aga and a walk in pantry. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a large grandchildren’s dormitory bedroom and playroom. The house lends itself to entertaining with plenty of space and offers flexibility to the incoming buyer. There are also many original period features including original granite fireplaces.
On arrival a driveway leads from the entrance gate down to a gravelled parking area and a driveway that runs along the front of the house to the garage. Across the driveway at the front is a mature and well tended beech hedge with a low granite wall and a set of steps which lead down to the fruit and vegetable garden. A further set of granite steps lead down the embankment to Shilstone Lane where the former cart shed is located. The fruit and vegetable garden has raised planters and fruit cages and some fruit trees. It has a lovely view to the pretty granite built St Mary The Virgin parish church. Gardens and Grounds The formal garden runs alongside the driveway and is mostly laid to lawn at the upper level with some granite walls bounding the grassed area and a path and low walls to a sitting area at the top of the garden from which to enjoy both the view of the house and the countryside beyond. The garden is set above Shilstone Lane and is completely private. A Devon bank separates the garden from the field and there is a gate to the field from the gravelled parking area. A granite retaining wall with steps leads down through well stocked borders to the stone paved patio area which is adjacent to the sitting room and bay window and the door from the reception hall. It is a most attractive area with climbing roses and clematis and plenty of space for a large garden table and chairs. It has level access from the house and lower part of the driveway.
