Tudhay comprises a particularly attractive detached period farmhouse which is located in a superb rural setting on the country outskirts of the village. It sits amongst exceptional grounds which extend to approaching 7 acres and which offer a magical, secluded retreat and a wonderful haven for an abundance of wildlife and birdlife. The property gains spectacular far-reaching panoramic views over its grounds to the patchwork countryside beyond which can be enjoyed from all the principal rooms and the gardens.

The property itself is Grade II Listed and has origins dating back to the early 17th century, before being considerably enlarged and refurbished circa 1790. As a result, Tudhay has some splendid Georgian features with its classic double fronted façade with small-pane sash windows and impressive central porch with its substantial pillars which possibly came from Newenham Abbey. The property is traditionally built and has principally rendered exterior elevations under a steeply pitched thatched roof of water reed.

Tudhay has been in the current owners family since the 1960s and has been a much-loved home over the years. During this time it was run as a smallholding and the family bred Dartmoor ponies, as well as planting up the grounds with many fruit trees, a productive kitchen garden and a copse which borders the small stream. It was also extended by converting an outbuilding which was previously a lean-to store and is now the delightful kitchen, and adding a sunroom which takes full advantage of the glorious views. The property retains a wealth of character features, all of which aid in creating a mellow period ambience and include beamed ceilings, flagstone floors, inglenook fireplace (which formerly had two bread ovens), and as previously mentioned, the large sash windows.

GARDENS & GROUNDS.
Undoubtedly, one of the main features of Tudhay is its stunning setting which offers unrivalled peace and tranquillity and simply breathtaking views. The property is approached from the quiet country lane through impressive gate pillars which lead to a large parking area adjacent to which is the detached double length garage. Steps lead down to a small lawn with a pond, beyond which is a grass yard around which sits a collection of single storey outbuildings. These include a detached timber loose box and tack room, and a stable block with four stables. The large garden lies to the front (west) and comprises a level area of lawn which is surrounded by profusely stocked shrub beds and gains spectacular panoramic views over some of the county’s most attractive rolling countryside.
