Description
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Vine House is a substantial, grade II listed stone house in the middle of Harberton. Located in a relatively quiet location in the village, Vine House has a delightful prospect to the parish church and has pleasing elevations. The accommodation in the property is extensive. The ground floor features a very large drawing room with attractive, local stone fireplace with wood burner and remains of old bread oven with stained glass inset. There is a separate dining room and modern and well fitted kitchen/breakfast room. An important feature on the ground floor is the room leading from the kitchen. Probably used as a dairy in earlier times, it is now a utility room. Immediately above is a room accessed by a step ladder. Both these rooms will make an ideal artists' studio/workroom. The first floor accommodation is fairly conventional with four bedrooms and an attractive bathroom. Leading from the far bedroom is an enclosed staircase which leads to a large, second floor flatlet. Ideal for holiday letting, teenagers' accommodation or granny flat, the second floor is self contained with its own kitchen/breakfast room, bathroom and WC, two bedrooms and a substantial living room.
Outside are two small gardens, the first being an attractive,south facing patio immediately outside the drawing room with views across to the church. The second is a small lawned area with shed, enclosed by stone walls, a short walk from the house. The path leading to this garden also leads down some stone steps to a delightful little pool believed to have been the old butterwell where the hand churned butter was kept cool.
The village of Harberton has always been a popular place in which to live. It has a thriving community, parish church, village hall and medieval Church House Inn. There is a bus service into nearby Totnes. Totnes is about two miles away with its specialist shops and facilities and mainline railway station. Some of the most beautiful parts of the South Hams countryside surround the property and there are many walks and rides close to hand. The unspoilt beaches of the South Hams can be reached in around twenty five minutes.
To locate the property from the Church House Inn and parish church, walk up the path that is to the right of the inn and Vine Cottage will be found on the left hand side after approximately thirty yards.
