Hartwell is a charming former farmhouse built in the 19th century, located near the village of Sydenham Damerel, just a short 12-minute drive from the historic town of Tavistock in Devon's picturesque Tamar Valley. This area is recognized as an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,' providing a stunning backdrop for visitors. The property comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests across five thoughtfully designed bedrooms, featuring a mix of antique and traditional furnishings that enhance its historic charm. Key amenities include a 10-meter outdoor heated swimming pool available from May to October, fast Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers, and a Blu-ray player, ensuring a blend of modern convenience and classic comfort.
The interior of Hartwell showcases a traditional feel with elements such as an Inglenook fireplace, original slate flagstones, and old wooden floors. The well-equipped kitchen includes a Rayburn, perfect for preparing meals, while two cozy living rooms, each with a wood burner, provide inviting spaces for relaxation. The bedrooms cater to various sleeping arrangements, including a luxurious kingsize four-poster bed and flexible twin/double options, making it suitable for families or groups of friends. A travel cot is also available for families with young children.
Outside, guests can enjoy a large garden that offers opportunities for recreation, including badminton, cricket, and football, or simply unwind in a hammock beside the fish pond. The garden is surrounded by diverse wildlife, including owls, woodpeckers, and deer, creating a serene environment. Additionally, the property features onsite beehives and is bordered by fields with horses, sheep, and cattle. Nearby footpaths provide easy access to the stunning local countryside, and a historic 15th-century pub, once visited by Charles I, is just down the hill.
Tavistock, a vibrant rural town, is a short drive away and boasts a variety of independent shops, eateries, and a cinema/arts center, along with the famous Pannier Market, which dates back to the 12th century. Hartwell serves as an excellent base for exploring the West Country, with Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor within easy reach, as well as both the North and South Cornwall/Devon coasts. For those seeking outdoor adventures, activities such as fishing, cycling, and horse riding are readily available, making it an ideal destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike.
