Property Description
The Haven dissolves the lines between the house's verdant surroundings and it's interiors, delivering with flair an exceptional handcrafted house with high end finishes and clever detailing throughout. Nestled in an idyllic location, situated between Dartmoor National Park and the pristine sandy beaches of the South Hams coastline, the current owners have transformed The Haven into a flexible and characterful home substantially increasing the size of the original property with an eye catching contemporary extension, then cladding the whole of the house in burnt larch wood that blends and grounds the property into its woodland setting. The result is a bespoke, stylish and contemporary home, with a few industrial inspired surprises in its layout, use of pocket doors, cabinetry, powder coated aluminium windows and one-off, statement staircase. Transformed in 2012/2013, the show stopping heart of the house is the 2299 sq ft main living space that includes a bespoke kitchen with electric Pearl Ashes AGA, Dekton worktops, double copper basins, striking copper tap, impressive concrete sided kitchen island, reclaimed and exposed stone brickwork, naturally flowing into the dining zone with the log burner as a focal point in the sitting area - all merging into the decked garden terrace through the large expanse of glass sliding doors - flooding the room with light. Equally impressive is the innovative upstairs first floor, currently used as the family cinema room and ideal office space. Two generous sun terraces, offer seclusion and fine entertaining space in equal measure, with a handcrafted bar great for al fresco rooftop gatherings.

Outside
Anchored in nature and protected by trees The Haven offers quality leisure time in the lush meadow adjacent to the house, where a rustic, bespoke log cabin with wood burner, a comfortable circular decked terrace, a firepit and secluded seating areas along with the inviting, decked pontoon out into the River Yealm making this an enchanting setting for wild swimming in your own stretch of secluded river. Stables, paddock, a double garage, driveway, store and woods, completes the outdoor adventure experience.
