Set within 80 acres of rural Devon countryside, just a short drive from the beach..._<strong>Heathfield Down Farm is a unique Grade II listed farmstead, set in some 80 acres of tranquil grounds, amidst the glorious South Hams countryside. The main drive into the properties sweeps down for approximately ½ mile through farmland towards Heathfield Down house and barns. Forming a cluster of four superb properties, offering a truly peaceful and tranquil location, where the only sounds are of the rooks crowing and sheep in the meadows bleating. <br /></strong>The main building at Heathfield is an impressive large Devon longhouse split into two holiday properties, offering very spacious accommodation for families at all times of the year. The Farmhouse and Garden House form over half of the main building, with the accommodation spanning three floors. The rooms are all spacious and very well equipped. The Farmhouse (HLLN) has more traditional-style interior decor with period furnishings and open fires lending itself to a very cosy atmosphere. The Garden House (HCCZ) is large, modern and contemporary in style and has very spacious bedrooms with solid oak flooring throughout. To the side is Heathfield Down Cottage (HXF), a contemporary yet cosy, detached, stone barn conversion. Behind the cottage is the Old Barn (HLLO), a spacious, detached, contemporary barn conversion with an enclosed patio area which catches the evening sun, and views across green fields. They are all set within some 80 acres of rural Devon countryside, just a short drive from all the lovely beaches and coves that scatter this stretch of South Devon. The small and popular town of Modbury, with its charming shops, handsome old inn, local craft centre and impressive church, lies just 2 miles away.<br />This is an ideal holiday base for exploring the Devon coastline, with its numerous sandy beaches, a mere 6 miles distant. The bustling holiday hamlet of Bigbury-on-Sea is within driving distance – from here visitors can follow a 4-mile long ‘tidal lane’ during low tide or visit Burgh Island, with its 14th-century inn and smuggling connections. The beach at Bantham is also easily accessible, as is Thurlestone, a chocolate-box village of pink-washed thatched cottages, with a splendid sandy beach backed by rolling farmland.<br />Golfing enthusiasts will find renowned courses at Thurlestone and Bigbury, while fishing enthusiasts can try their luck in the nearby River Avon. There are beautiful views towards Dartmoor National Park, 5 miles to the north and a haven for walkers and nature lovers, with local wildlife including ponies roaming free, buzzards and kestrels. Plymouth and Exeter with their extensive shopping and leisure facilities are approximately 14 miles and 40 miles respectively. The county town of Exeter is dominated by the distinctive St Peter’s Cathedral, a stately monument made conspicuous by two great Norman towers flanking the nave, with much of the interior dating back as far as the 13th and 14th centuries. Other ancient buildings include the 14th-century Guildhall, several medieval churches and the old Quayside with the smart Custom House, built in 1681.
