Parklands is situated up a long private drive, close to the centre of Lustleigh, surrounded by its beautiful gardens and grounds, thus offering both peace and privacy in a glorious Dartmoor setting, within one of the prettiest villages of Devon yet within easy reach of the A38 to Exeter etc.

The delightful house is of typical Victorian gothic design, built of stone beneath a tiled roof and with verandah to the front. There is very spacious family accommodation with well-proportioned, high-ceilinged rooms typical of the architectural period and features include exposed boarded flooring, decorative cornicing, picture and dado rails, window shutters and attractive fireplace surrounds.

The front door is approached by the garden/boot room with stone paved floor and to one side of the hall is a large drawing room with open fire and French doors to the terrace and gardens, and a large sitting room with bay window and log burner.

On the other side of the hall are the snug with wood burner and library/music room area and the spacious kitchen/dining/sitting room including fitted kitchen with central island and four oven AGA, dining area and sitting area with French doors to the terrace and gardens enjoying beautiful views over the surrounding Dartmoor countryside.

Stairs from the kitchen descend to the basement which has family room, utility/laundry room, storage areas and wc.

Stairs from the main hall, with ornate wooden balustrade, rise to the first floor with five bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are an additional two bedrooms and a shower room on the second floor with extensive eaves storage.

The house stands at the end of a long drive, surrounded by its extensive, mature, land scaped Dartmoor grounds with some magnificent granite boulders and specimen trees. These are a particular feature of the property, which includes garden, paddock, parkland and woodland areas. It is also worth noting that the access drive from the village continues past the house providing a secondary exit on to the Hammerslake Road.

Within the grounds are a thatched garage building, and thatched stables and a delightful wooden summerhouse. There is a hard tennis court with thatched pavilion, lawned areas, protruding granite boulders including Parklands Tor, a mass of spring bulbs, shrubs and plants including camellia, azalea and rhododendron, and a wide variety of mature trees.
