About this property

… in the heart of Buckfastleigh, next door to a pub and within walking distance of shops and restaurants, a unique, Grade II listed, late Georgian building, formerly the Assembly Hall for the town, now a very contemporary-style home. At the back of the house, gravelled courtyard garden with seating for alfresco eating or taking in the sun. 

Inside, the accommodation is ‘upside down’, the living area occupying the greatest space. The whole house is wonderfully light and modern with high ceilings, tall original sash windows and slate or wood floors. Beautiful part-open tread stairs up to living room with open fire, well stocked bookshelves, TV/DVD, Wii and further stairs up to mezzanine level with kitchen/dining area (dishwashermicrowavefreezer, gas hob/electric oven, larder fridge) with glass balustrade looking over the living area and dining table seating up to 10. Small loo. On the ground floor, four bedrooms – two double, one with en suite shower-room (shower, washbasin), a room with full-size cabin bunk beds, and a single (2’6”) with cabin bed. Smart bathroom (suite with shorter than standard bath plus separate shower, washer-drier). Best for children over 4 due to stairs. Damages Deposit £150. An exceptional place to stay in this friendly town and a brilliant base for exploring both the coast and the moor.

  • Holidaymaker

    "The property was fantastic - beautifully modern, well equipped, very comfy beds and spotlessly clean. As usual with HH, it was exactly as described & photographed which is one of the reasons we keep booking with them. It's perfectly situated in the town centre so everything is within walking distance including lots of places to eat and walks from the door. The owner was very friendly & helpful and we would highly recommend the house."

    "This is a lovely modern property. The owners have been very thoughtful in providing what is needed. It is a converted old building with high ceilings & floorboards. We are used to carpets so it seemed a bit noisy to us. It is an 'upside down' property, living area upstairs, bedrooms downstairs, we found the stairs quite steep, we live in a bungalow. Buckfastleigh is well situated for visiting other places in the area. We recommend Totnes and Woods cafe at the top end of the street. Dartmouth and Rockfish fish restaurant on the front. Darlington Centre and Cranks restaurant. Hill House plant nursery cafe, lovely place to sit outside and enjoy a cuppa and the lunches were very good. The Old Assembly Rooms is a different type of holiday cottage, it has lots of space, a library, games for both children and adults, a keyboard and a guitar!"
