Introduction Set in over four acres of peaceful countryside between Landscove and Ashburton, Parkfield Court is a detached single-storey barn conversion offering excellent space, privacy, and equestrian facilities. With a flexible layout, generous proportions, and potential to enhance further, this home provides an ideal lifestyle opportunity in one of South Devon’s most popular locations. Seller Story I’ve loved living at Parkfield Court, not just because of the house itself, but because of everything that surrounds it. It’s incredibly peaceful here. Most of the time, all I can hear is birdsong, and yet I’m only a mile from Ashburton, the A38 and the edge of Dartmoor. It’s a perfect balance, quiet and rural, but never remote. I’ve been here for over 30 years and raised the family in this house. The local schools served incredibly well, and it has been a wonderful place for children to grow up. There has always been space to run around, kick a ball, practise sports and simply enjoy being outside. It has given the family not just a home, but a lifestyle. The courtyard is a real suntrap and makes the heart of the home feel like a private retreat, especially in the warmer months. I’m surrounded by beautiful countryside, with walks and riding routes in every direction. The views are constantly changing with the seasons and are something I’ll really miss. The house was built with practicality and longevity in mind. Everything is on one level, with wide access, double doors front and back and generous internal doorways, which would make it easy to adapt for wheelchair users if ever needed. It’s solidly constructed using high-quality materials and is surprisingly economical to run for a home of this size. I’ve also felt a strong sense of community here. This is a small hamlet with a supportive, neighbourly spirit, one of those rare places where you can feel truly at home from day one. And with excellent schools nearby, both state and independent, it’s a great area for families as well.” Inside The accommodation is arranged around a charming courtyard with a working water feature, which immediately gives the house a sense of privacy and calm. It feels tucked away and peaceful, and the courtyard itself is a lovely spot to sit out, sheltered and quiet. A wet underfloor heating system runs throughout the property, providing consistent warmth and allowing the character of the rooms to shine without the interruption of radiators. The entrance hall sets the tone with parquet flooring and a cast iron fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming first impression. From here the house flows easily into the main living spaces. The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers adding height and character. A brick fireplace with a multi fuel stove creates a natural focal point, and doors open out onto a west facing patio that catches the afternoon and evening sun. It is a room that works just as well for relaxed evenings as it does for entertaining. The kitchen and breakfast room is generous and practical, centred around a hand built kitchen with an oil fired four oven Aga. Granite worktops, Miele appliances and a double Belfast sink add quality and durability, while there is plenty of space for a large table, making it a proper everyday living space rather than just somewhere to cook. A separate utility room keeps things organised, and the shower room is next to it, is very practical. The study provides a comfortable space to work from home, tucked away from the main living areas, and it could easily become an extra bedroom if required. There are four double bedrooms in total (plus the study), two of which have en suite bathrooms. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and views over the garden, giving it a light and airy feel. Its en suite includes a freestanding bath, separate shower, bidet and WC. Outside The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with paved patios wrapping around the house and mature planting providing structure and privacy. A timber store sits tucked into the far corner for firewood and machinery. The gravel driveway continues past the house to a large yard with ample parking and the equestrian facilities: a stable block with three loose boxes (including a larger foaling box), a secure tack room, and a large timber barn/workshop with power, lighting, and surveillance. An all-weather arena (approx. 42m x 21m) lies just above, with post-and-rail fenced paddocks and a Hickstead-style bank for cross-country training, making this an ideal setup for both recreational and competitive equestrian use. Location Parkfield Court is located just over a mile from the thriving town of Ashburton, a sought-after Dartmoor gateway town known for its independent spirit and strong sense of community. Here you will find an excellent selection of artisan shops, cafés, delicatessens and galleries, alongside everyday amenities. The renowned Ashburton Cookery School draws visitors from across the country, adding to the town’s reputation as a destination in its own right. The nearby village of Landscove offers a well-regarded primary school and a popular local pub, creating an appealing balance between rural living and community connection. For commuters and those travelling further afield, the A38 dual carriageway is within easy reach, providing swift access to Exeter and Plymouth. Mainline rail services to London Paddington are available from both Newton Abbot (2.5 hours) and Totnes, making the property highly accessible despite its peaceful setting. Dartmoor National Park is just a short distance away, offering miles of walking, riding and cycling across granite tors and rolling moorland. The sandy beaches of Teignmouth and the beautiful South Hams coastline, with its sheltered coves and expansive stretches at Bantham and Bigbury, are all within comfortable driving distance, giving you an exceptional balance of moorland, countryside and coast.

With up to six bedrooms, a large kitchen breakfast room, and two expansive reception rooms. The house sits in a prominent position in the Teign Valley, set within approximately three acres of private grounds. Huxbear House has formerly been known as Huber Barton and before that Hokesbear. The name Hokesbear may originate from Hokes - there is a family named Hoke who are found in Devon and Bear - meaning a grove (a common Devonian place name purportedly from the Saxon beer). The description of the current property describes it as a farmhouse that is seventeenth century in origin but having been extensively remodelled in the nineteenth century. The house is situated in the parish of Hennock. In the neighbourhood of the house is Huxbear Farm, Huxbear Court, The Byre and just to the south The Old Kiln. Further to the south of the property is an earthwork of uncertain origin but the current interpretation is that it is prehistoric. History Huxbear House boasts a fascinating history with records dating back to the 12th century. Listed in 1977, the description includes: Structure: Solid, rendered walls with slated roofs and 19th-century ridge tiles. Chimneys: Three rendered stacks, including a projecting stack in the right-hand gable and an early stack likely heating the original hall. Windows: A five-window front with a two-storey gabled entrance porch and a mix of sash and casement windows. Interior Features: Remnants of a stud and panel screen, ovolo-moulded chamfers, scroll stops, and a chamfered wooden lintel on an old fireplace.
