With remarkable far reaching views, Cross Parks was built in 2019 to an architect's exacting specification (replacing an earlier dwelling) using quality materials and incorporating state of the art features with an emphasis on creating an economical, energy efficient warm home.
Behind its distinctive Dartmoor Granite and Zinc-faced exterior lies a stylish interior with an abundance of large windows flooding the rooms with natural light. At the heart of the property is its open-plan living space and kitchen with vaulted ceiling and oak parquet floor. A granite fireplace with wood-burner and exposed chimney breast makes a distinctive statement and is an acknowledgment to the home's Dartmoor roots. The chimney breast is flanked by full-height windows which, along with windows/sliding doors especially imported from Norway to the sun terrace, capture the previously mentioned views over countryside, woodland and towards the coast.
There is multi-zone underfloor heating via a ground-source heat pump.
Outside, a five-bar gated drive leads from the lane to the property culminating in a parking/turning area for multiple vehicles and with a magnificent Copper Birch tree. There is a large timber garage/store (part of the original property).
Immediately adjoining the house on the far side are two paved terraces - perfect for outdoor entertaining, and lawned gardens that wrap around two sides. Beyond the garden lies the land which is divided into two paddocks with new stock-proof fencing and mixed hedgerow boundaries. There is mains water to the land and a timber stable building with two stables and tack room. The whole plot extends to 4.5 acres as measured on Promap.
Cross Parks occupies a lovely rural yet accessible position on the south-eastern edge of Dartmoor . Ilsington village with its pub, primary school, community village shop and church is within walking distance via the minor Devon lanes. The open moor at nearby Pinchford Bowl and Haytor Down provide scenic walking and first class riding country. Whilst enjoying all the benefits of country living Cross Parks is within easy reach of the towns of Ashburton (four miles) and Bovey Tracey (five miles) as well as being less than ten minutes drive of the A38 for Exeter and Plymouth. The market town of Newton Abbot is a twenty minute drive.
