Location
Bovey Tracey is known as ‘the Gateway to the Moor’. Located in the gentle valley of the River Bovey with the flanks of Dartmoor at its edge, this vibrant market town has much to offer. The compact town centre has numerous privately owned shops including a large delicatessen, grocers, antiques, arts and crafts gallery and shops as well as three small grocers’ chains outlets. Quality of life here is good. Numerous cafes and restaurants and pubs serve the town as well as primary and pre-schools, garages, a doctors surgery, health centre and a builders store. A large riverside park, a golf club, Parke and Dartmoor are all short walks away. Additional facilities can be found at Newton Abbot less than 7 miles away and Exeter 15 miles distant, both with mainline railway links to London and the rest of the country. The town is situated within easy reach of the A38 Expressway (3 miles away) which provides good road transport links to Plymouth and the M5.
The Plot
The plot is situated at the top of a short shared private lane, about 5 minutes’ walk down the hill to the town centre shops. The rear boundary of the plot adjoins farmland used for grazing cattle. Private gardens edge the plot to two sides with the other boundary partly adjoining the lane and partly the fields.
The plot faces approximately south-southwest. The views are exceptional – looking southwards across the wide valley floor to the hills of Dartmoor and along the wooded Wray valley towards Moretonhampstead in a westerly direction. To the rear, fields climb to the skyline.
The plot itself is gently sloping and contains a stone and brick barn with a corrugated iron roof to be replaced by the current planning consent. It is separated from the adjoining fields by a fence and hedgerow and has various trees including willow, rowan, holly and oak plus a fig and a Judas tree and a variety of wild flowers.
The Design
The individual house design features a vaulted Lounge/Diner and full height glazed end allowing stunning views from the Lounge/Diner and the semi-open-plan kitchen as well as from the Study/ Bedroom Five upstairs, along the Wray valley and across the Bovey Basin to the flanks of Dartmoor opposite. The plans also provide for first floor Bedrooms 1 and 2 with ‘Jack and Jill’ Bathroom ((which could be divided into two en-suites if wished (subject to building regulations)), and ground floor Cloakroom, Utility, Study/ Bedroom 5 and further Bedroom with En-suite.
The original design (since slightly amended) is by award-winning architects Roderick James who often work closely with local oak-frame craftsmen, not only in the South-West but also further afield.
