Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text SITUATION The house occupies an elevated and idyllic position overlooking it’s own land, through which runs about 1/2 mile of the River Avon. Such an exceptional location affords the owners of Hatch Arundel unrivalled access to this playground for kayaking, paddle boarding, angling and wild swimming. The banks of the river provide convenient canoe or kayak launches and roughly 1.5 miles downstream you pass Aveton Gifford, here you can drop down with the tide to Bigbury Bay, Bantham beach and the stunning South Devon coastline. The property is situated just outside the popular village of Churchstow in the heart of the South Hams. The village boasts a shop, church and highly regarded pub. The larger market town of Kingsbridge offers a leisure centre, community hospital and primary and secondary schools including the highly-rated (Ofsted) Kingsbridge Community College. Communications are excellent with the A38 Expressway within 9 miles, providing fast access to Exeter, Plymouth and the M5. Totnes, 13 miles away, provides a regular intercity rail service to London. The yachting havens of Salcombe and Dartmouth are both within easy reach of the property and Dartmoor National Park is 9 miles to the north.

DESCRIPTION Hatch Arundel is a property steeped in history dating from the 17th Century, with some records suggesting its origins date back as far as the 15th Century.

The heart of the house is a wonderful, light farmhouse kitchen with bespoke fitted units and slate floor. Deep window seats look out over the lawns, grassland and River Avon beyond. From the kitchen is a large utility room, beautiful modern shower room and a boot room which forms part of the verandah. Further ground floor accommodation includes a study, living room and family room.
