More about Heathfield Down Farmhouse

Set within 80 acres of rural Devon countryside, just a short drive from the beach...

Heathfield Down Farm is a unique Grade II listed farmstead, set in some 80 acres of tranquil grounds, amidst the glorious South Hams countryside. The main drive into the properties sweeps down for approximately ½ mile through farmland towards Heathfield Down house and barns. These three superb properties (refs HQQN, HRRD and HXF) offer a truly peaceful and tranquil location, where the only sounds are of the rooks crowing and sheep in the meadows bleating. The main building at Heathfield is an impressive large Devon longhouse split into two. The rooms are all spacious and very well equipped. To the side is Heathfield Down Cottage (HXF), a contemporary yet cosy, detached, stone barn conversion. Set in the same courtyard as Heathfield Down Farmhouse (ref HQQN) within some 80 acres of rural Devon countryside, just a short drive from all the lovely beaches and coves that scatter this stretch of South Devon. The small and popular town of Modbury, with its charming shops, handsome old inn, local craft centre and impressive church, lies just 2 miles away. This is an ideal holiday base for exploring the Devon coastline, with its numerous sandy beaches, 6 miles away. At the bustling holiday hamlet of Bigbury-on-Sea, visitors can follow a 4-mile long ‘tidal lane’ during low tide or visit Burgh Island, with its 14th-century inn and smuggling connections. The beach at Bantham is easily accessible, as is Thurlestone, a chocolate-box village of pink-washed thatched cottages, with a splendid sandy beach backed by rolling farmland. There is golf at Thurlestone and Bigbury, and fishing on the nearby River Avon. There are beautiful views towards Dartmoor National Park, 5 miles to the north and a haven for walkers and nature lovers, with local wildlife including ponies roaming free, buzzards and kestrels. Plymouth and Exeter with their extensive shopping and leisure facilities are about 14 miles and 40 miles respectively. Exeter is dominated by the distinctive St Peter’s Cathedral, a stately monument made conspicuous by two great Norman towers flanking the nave, with much of the interior dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Other ancient buildings include the 14th-century Guildhall, several medieval churches and the old Quayside with the smart Custom House, built in 1681. Yachting at Newton Ferrers, Salcombe and Dartmouth. Shops 1½ miles, pub 3 miles.
