SITUATION: South Park occupies a south facing position on the edge of the pretty village of Ilsington in the Dartmoor National Park, close to the high moor at and within easy reach of the A38 dual carriageway which is approximately 2 miles to the east and provides a fast route between the economic centres of Exeter and Plymouth. Ilsington is a popular village, favoured for its interesting mix of period houses gathered around a village centre, with a fine parish church at the heart. The village also has a community run shop, primary and pre-school a pub and a nearby country hotel with restaurant. The countryside surrounding the village, in the east Dartmoor hills is a delight, with wooded valleys, rolling farmland and the open expanses of the rugged uplands of the moor. The nearby country towns of Bovey Tracey and Ashburton both provide an excellent range of amenities for day to day living. The market town of Newton Abbot is approximately 7 miles from the house and has a wide range of facilities including a selection of supermarkets, bustling town centre and a main line railway station, to name but a few. The Cathedral city of Exeter is located approximately 17 miles to the north. Exeter is a modern provincial city with excellent amenities including a first class shopping centre, award winning museum, sports, social, leisure and education facilities.

DESCRIPTION: South Park is a fine period house believed to have been constructed in the early 20th century for a local farming family and has remained in the same ownership for the ensuing generations. The attractive façade has stucco walls, multi pane sash windows under a hipped slate roof. Although later the house has the appearance of a early 19th century building with architecture echoing the late Georgian period. Outside the South Park is set a plot which extends to approximately 2.8 acres. This includes secluded gardens, an old orchard and a paddock. The house and grounds provide scope for improvement and an opportunity for any interested party to create a fine family home. Adjacent to the house and being offered as a second lot is a block of farmland and a small area of woodland, the sum of which is approximately 28.13 acres. This affords the property privacy and shelter, opportunity for equestrian or farming interests and long term capital gain.
