The Space:
Having been recently renovated throughout, this beautiful farmhouse oozes style and comfort. Spacious rooms are flooded with light, thanks to the crisp white walls, large double doors and skylights.
The kitchen is certainly the heart of the home, with exposed wooden beams that contrast seamlessly with the electric blue cabinets and white countertops. Plus rustle up delicious feasts on the new range master with 5-ring induction and 2 ovens. Its sociable open-plan layout allows you to enjoy a relaxing morning coffee basking in the sun from the comfort of the sofa. Whilst next door, a cosy living room is the ideal base to settle in for the night. When the weather turns, get the wood burner going and watch films on the Smart TV. If board games are more your thing, help yourself to those on the bookshelf.
Upstairs, there are four well-sized bedrooms all as homely as the next. Each has pretty views out over the garden and surrounding hills - making morning lie-ins that extra special. The spacious king-size master bedroom is complete with a reading armchair and bean bag, alongside fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. You'll also find an additional king-size bedroom, triple bunk room and twin room along the hallway. Meanwhile, downstairs there is an extra snug room with a double sofa bed.

The Neighborhood:
Parkfield Barn is located on a quiet country lane, only a 7-minute drive from the charming town of Ashburton. This vibrant town on the edge of Dartmoor has an eclectic mix of boutiques, antique shops, bakeries, delis and restaurants. A few highlights include Emilia, Rafikis, The Old Library and Briar Bakery. You’re also just 15 minutes away from the ever-popular Totnes, which is brimming with fantastic eateries and shops as well as an artisan market every Friday and Saturday. In the local area, you’ll also find the likes of Riverford Farm, which serves an exceptional Sunday lunch feast, as well as Dartington - a vast estate with an excellent arts programme and picturesque walks.
Its proximity to Dartmoor means the house is perfect for nature and hikers alike. Enjoy long stomps from Tor to Tor, finding wild Dartmoor ponies and ancient woodland en route. Or, if you’re after water-side rambles follow the River Dart south to Dartmouth. This bustling sailing town hosts a regatta every summer, with races and festivities taking over the town. Plus the rest of the South Devon coastline is within easy reach.

Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Dartmoor, we would recommend bringing a car for your stay. There is ample private parking for up to 5 vehicles. For those that come without a vehicle, the nearest train station is in Totnes which is around a 15 minute drive away. Taxis are available in Totnes and there are fairly frequent bus routes traversing the local area.
Other Things to Note:
A maximum of 2 dogs are welcome on the condition they are not allowed on the soft furnishings or in the bedrooms, not left inside the property unattended, and dog mess in the garden is cleaned up. There is an additional fee of £20/dog. Our garden is enclosed but not entirely secure, we recommend keeping an eye on dogs whilst in the garden.
Please note, the 5th bedroom is the snug downstairs with sofa bed.
