Highclere is a wonderful property built in the 1920s in the Arts & Crafts style, and benefits from a number of features from the period including steeply-pitched roofs of cedar shingle construction, and double-glazed casement windows which provide lots of light to the reception rooms and bedrooms.
Accommodation is laid out over two floors and includes a newly-added garden room which provides an additional reception room to the house which already has a charming drawing room and a well-proportioned study. The master bedroom suite includes a charming dressing room and the house has a further three bedrooms.

Outside the landscaped gardens and grounds are a feature of the house and extend to over two acres. To the south west of the house is a large terrace ideally suited for outdoor entertaining while below the house sits a pretty rockery. The main gardens are laid to lawn for the most part, while the wildflower meadow and the woodland area provide lots of flowers throughout the year to encourage wildlife.
Highclere is situated on the edge of the Devon village of Manaton in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park. The village is a thriving community with church, village hall and a pretty village green. Bovey Tracey is just four miles for further amenities and Newton Abbot is just nine miles.
The guide price is £975,000. For further information please contact Strutt & Parker on 01392 215 631 or visit www.struttandparker.co.uk.
