As you drive the quiet and
picturesque Wray Valley country road, on the edge of Dartmoor towards the
Moorland Village of Mortonhampstead, you will be sure to notice this quaint
rural home known as Hawkmoor Lodge.
It was once the gatehouse to the former
Hawkmoor Hospital, and is one of the only reminders left that the hospital ever
existed. When standing in the beautifully mature gardens there is no question
as to why the area was chosen. It’s beautiful and peaceful surroundings
including the gently flowing stream and neighbouring woodland along with the
fresh moorland air was thought by many at the time to attribute greatly to good
health.
Hawkmoor Lodge occupies a
generous size plot that’s thought to be over a third of an acre. It’s accessed
via a 5 bar gate onto the driveway providing ample parking for a number of
vehicles, and leads to a useful detached double garage. There are large lawn
gardens, filled with mature flower and shrub beds which attract an abundance of
wildlife and offers a great deal of privacy and seclusion.
The property itself has been
skilfully converted by a sympathetic eye and now provides a picture perfect country
home. The front door opens to a superb L shaped kitchen / dining room which is
the real hub of the house. It has all the elements of a traditional farmhouse
kitchen with its belfast sink, oil fired Rayburn and heavy flagstone floor. A
door leads to the hallway which presents the main accommodation including a a
cosy living room fitted with a wood-burning stove, two bedrooms, a large shower
room
and impressive double glazed conservatory overlooking the gardens and
offering a pleasant area to relax and unwind.
Upstairs there is currently a
superb open galleried area which offers the potential to be converted into
further living accommodation, subject to the necessary consents and approvals
.Throughout, the property would benefit from some general updating and
improvement. Some tasteful works would tie in with the excellent location, and
enhance the space that the characterful home has to offer.
This is a rare opportunity to own
an individual home of some historical importance, situated in Dartmoor National
Park. It’s a truly special property and offers the potential to become quite a
substantial home should you need that extra accommodation. If you’re looking
for peace and tranquillity that comes with the rural lifestyle then we
encourage you to view this beautiful home at our open viewing event.
