Charford Manor

About this property

Description

Charford Manor is a spacious, light and airy detached house located to the outskirts of the South Hams village of Avonwick that nestles on the banks of the River Avon.  Surrounded by wooded hills and stunning rolling Devon countryside, this charming period property boasts impressive far-reaching views and is a short drive or leisurely stroll to the village pub. Perfectly designed for making the most of the glorious countryside views, Charford Manor boasts two spacious reception rooms both with wood burning stoves as well as two generous sized bedrooms, both of which are ensuite - perfect for a couple or friends. There is a sizeable South facing garden with a terrace, perfect for al fresco dining.  It is a naturally light property where sunlight streams through the large feature windows, and having recently undergone sympathetic refurbishment, it is assured that the property won’t fail to delight.  The welcoming but discreet owners live within the rear wing of the house with a separate entrance and garden which assures guests their privacy.

Avonwick is most conveniently located for exploring Devon’s countryside, coastline as well as being a stone’s throw from the majestic Dartmoor National Park with unsurpassed walking opportunities. Popular sandy and surfing beaches across the South Hams and English Riviera are easily accessible as is the bohemian market town of Totnes which is only 5 miles away and offers boutique shopping as well as boat trips down the River Dart to Dartmouth.  Being just two miles from the A38 which is the main artery for exploring the whole of Devon and Cornwall, guests will be spoilt for choice of days out if they can be persuaded to the leave Charford Manor.
