Situation
Tucked away at the end of a quiet country lane, Hunter's Moon enjoys a peaceful rural setting within Dartmoor National Park, within walking distance of open moorland. The village of Shaugh Prior offers a primary school, traditional pub and a church, while the city of Plymouth lies around six miles to the south, providing road, rail and ferry links to London and continental Europe. Further amenities can be found in Roborough, Plympton and Yelverton, where there is a supermarket, GP surgery, bank, restaurants band independent retailers. Derriford Hospital is a short drive away. Excellent primary schooling is also available in Meavy, Buckland Monachorum and Walkhampton, plus secondary options in Plymouth and Tavistock. Surrounded by open countryside and close to both the moors and coastline, the area is rich in opportunities for walking, riding, cycling, golf and water sports.

The Property
Originally built in the 1970s with natural stone elevations beneath a tiled roof, Hunters Moon has recently undergone a complete transformation. Thoughtfully reconfigured, it now offers over 5,600 sq ft of well-balanced living space that combines classic country character with a contemporary feel. With its long, low profile, vaulted ceilings and flowing layout, the design nods to a refined ranch-style aesthetic rarely seen in the UK, creating a home that feels both architecturally striking and warmly inviting. It balances luxury with a sense of home, offering an effortless feeling of comfort throughout.

A wide gravelled drive leads through wooden gates to a large parking area, setting the tone for the sense of space and privacy found throughout. The entrance hall immediately impresses, with reclaimed hardwood flooring, ornate carved staircase and period radiators creating a warm, elegant tone.

At the heart of the house, the vaulted kitchen and breakfast room is flooded with light from Velux windows. A shaker-style kitchen in soft cream is topped with oak work surfaces and opens into a charming breakfast area with flagstone floors and a striking inglenook fireplace housing a range cooker and wood-burning stove. A door opens to the rear garden, encouraging an easy rhythm between indoors and out as well as glazed doors inviting you to the pool room.

The adjacent L-shaped sitting and dining room is ideal for entertaining, with an entrance to the terrace and a further wood burner creating a central focal point. French doors lead to the impressive pool room, where a 21-foot heated pool enjoys garden views via sliding doors and arch-topped windows. A bar area adds to the sense of laid-back indulgence. A sauna, sun room and study complete the main living accommodation.

On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms — one with an en-suite, and another with dressing area and adjacent family shower room.

An important part of this home is the potential to create a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with independent access suited to multi-generational living or holiday letting.

Upstairs, the principal suite offers a true retreat: an expansive bedroom with private balcony and far-reaching countryside views, a luxurious bathroom with bath and walk-in shower, and a spacious dressing room. A further double bedroom completes the first floor.

Gardens & Grounds
Set within just under an acre, the gardens offer a tranquil mix of lawn, terraces and informal planting, with mature trees creating a natural sense of enclosure. To the front, a wide south-facing lawn is framed by shrubs and perennials, while an elevated decked area and stone-paved sun terrace provide plenty of space for entertaining. A balcony adjoining the pool room overlooks the garden. At the far end, a secluded patio area with firepit and timber cabin forms a peaceful retreat, a space that feels entirely separate from the main house, perfect for summer gatherings or quiet reflection.

To one side is a single garage with attached double carport with a large gravelled parking area, log store and garden shed; to the other, oil storage tanks and a gravel path leading to the rear garden. The rear is laid mostly to lawn and enjoys complete privacy, with established planting creating seasonal interest.
