Occupying an elevated south facing position, this attractive farmhouse enjoys far reaching views across the beautiful West Devon countryside towards Dartmoor National Park. The property offers bright and spacious accommodation, entered via a storm porch that opens into a welcoming reception hall with elegant parquet flooring. From the hall, a sweeping staircase rises to the first floor, while enclosed steps lead down to the cellar. The comfortable snug provides a delightful retreat, filled with natural light and enhanced by a charming window seat. The principal everyday living space is the impressive living room, which enjoys a warm and inviting atmosphere. A striking floor to ceiling stone and brick fireplace with a traditional clome oven houses a multi fuel burning stove, creating a characterful focal point. Attractive slate sill recesses complement the room, while a ceramic tiled floor with underfloor heating adds both style and comfort. The kitchen is finished to an excellent specification, featuring wooden cabinetry with solid quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include a Smeg double oven, Bosch induction hob and dishwasher. A double butler style sink with mixer taps sits beneath generous workspace, alongside pull out racked shelving, deep pan drawers and space for an American style fridge freezer. The vaulted ceiling with suspended lighting provides an impressive architectural feature, while a traditional oil fired Aga adds further charm and practicality. A door leads to the side porch where fitted cupboards neatly conceal the consumer unit and solar inverter. The formal dining room also benefits from a ceramic tiled floor with underfloor heating and is ideal for entertaining, complete with a stone fireplace and inset wood burning stove. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a convenient cloakroom with WC.
   
One of the distinctive features of Grendisworthy Farm is its split level landing, which together with Bedrooms One and Four enjoys some of the finest views across the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, featuring a period cast iron fireplace and a walk in dressing room with fitted shelving, drawers and hanging space. The room also benefits from an en-suite shower room with tiled flooring and a large shower.Three further bedrooms are generously proportioned with full height ceilings, while Bedrooms Two and Three include useful mezzanine storage platforms. The family bathroom is well appointed with both a spacious shower cubicle with mains fed rainfall shower and a freestanding bath with shower attachment, all complemented by a tiled floor.
   
Warmth throughout the home is provided by oil fired central heating to ornate radiators, electric underfloor heating in selected rooms and the option of a biomass boiler, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional fuels. A substantial solar array installed on one of the outbuildings helps offset energy costs. The property also benefits from UPVC double glazing. Slate steps lead down to the cellar, which offers excellent head height and incorporates a boiler room together with additional storage space.
   
The property is approached via a private lane, partly shared with one neighbouring property, leading to a sweeping driveway with extensive parking for numerous vehicles. Two additional buildings offer potential for further garaging. The current owners have also constructed a double garage with power, lighting and an automated roller door.
   
The gardens lie to the front of the farmhouse, enjoying a sunny southerly aspect and taking full advantage of the exceptional views. They are enclosed, providing a clear distinction between the formal garden areas and the surrounding land. A level patio offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation during warmer months, while the generous lawn provides ample space for children and animals to play. A pond below the garden attracts a variety of local wildlife and adds to the tranquil setting.
   
The outbuildings at Grendisworthy are particularly impressive and reflect both the property’s agricultural heritage and its versatility. At the upper level stands a large agricultural barn with sliding doors, suitable for a range of uses including a potential indoor riding arena or covered sports space. The barn currently incorporates an office area that has previously been used for business purposes.
   
Several former livestock sheds remain in place and may offer potential for conversion to residential accommodation under Class Q, subject to the necessary planning consents. A secure steel workshop, previously used for the owners’ business, benefits from power and lighting. A covered yard connects the main courtyard with the surrounding barns, while additional structures include a stone former parlour, a biomass boiler room, a smaller workshop and a dog house.
   
The land extends to approximately 17 acres, wrapping predominantly around the south and west of the farm. It comprises a mixture of productive pasture, crop fields and grazing meadows, together with an area of woodland. The fields are well bounded, and the western boundary enjoys distant views towards the village of Clawton and Holsworthy town.
   
The property is within a few miles from the attractive village of Ashwater which is set in rolling Devon countryside and retains many amenities including a Post Office/General Store, newly refurbished Pub/ Restaurant, Parish Church, Village Hall and nearby Primary School. There is a traditional village green with many events held over the course of the year.
