It offers perfect accommodation for a family living together with elderly parents or younger relatives, having 3 bedrooms in the main residence and an extensive suite with kitchen and bedroom facilities on the ground floor.

Alternatively it offers ideal home and business accommodation for the professional seeking a great work/life balance by working from home in a lovely rural environment.

2 Totnes Castle dating from around the 14 th Century is one of the best preserved examples of Norman motte and bailey Castles in England. The location Combe House lies in a rural position, just outside the village of Littlehempston. The beautiful and historic town of Totnes is around 2.5 miles away and benefits from a multitude of shopping and amenities, including a railway station. The busy town of Newton Abbot (again with railway station) is circa 6 miles away, with access to the A380 just a little further. Access to the A38, which feeds directly into the M5 at Exeter (where there is an international airport) is around 9 miles away at Buckfastleigh. The coastal town of Torquay, with its beautiful harbour is also around 7 miles. The situation The property sits in a wonderfully private position in mature landscaped gardens of nearly 2 acres and is tucked well back from the lane, so cannot be observed by what passing traffic there is. There are three separate driveways, one to the detached single garage, another to an extensive hard-standing and one to the house and its gardens beyond. The house backs onto open fields and enjoys sweeping country views towards Totnes. Whilst the gardens are beautifully planted with many mature trees and shrubs there is always somewhere to enjoy the sun if it is out! There are plenty of sporting opportunities close by Dartmoor National Park is 9 miles to the North West Torquay Boy s Grammar School is just 7 miles away and is one of many well regarded schools close to Combe House. Torquay's picturesque harbour itself is within easy reach What the owner will miss.. the combination of a private and peaceful spot with the convenience of Totnes and Newton Abbot being so close by has been fantastic.

Combe House is a spacious and rather wonderful detached house set in beautiful, mature gardens and grounds of approximately 1.75 acres. The house is currently used as a large, three bedroom, main residence and an extensive ground floor office suite with kitchen and bathroom facilities. This area was designed as an annexe, but could be easily incorporated into the main house for a buyer wanting a single large family home. Having undergone a massive programme of refurbishment and improvement in recent years, it is now beautifully presented and highly specified, with a quality bespoke kitchen and designer bathroom fixtures and fittings, leaving little work for any future owner to do. The gardens and setting itself are perhaps the most impressive features of the property, being wonderfully mature (with many trees and shrubs offering privacy and seclusion). There are several distinct areas which enjoy different elements of light and views throughout the day.
