There is also a large farmhouse style kitchen with ancilliary rooms and the dining room that seats eighteen.

The adjoining room is a huge but restful snooker room (full size table), library and flat screen TV.
The house sits comfortably in five acres of gardens and pastures with uninterrupted views across a valley of woods and river towards distant Dartmoor. Immediately around the house are formal gardens that were laid out in Victorian times. To the west is a private sunken salt water swimming pool set amongst tropical plants, while on a lower terrace is a tennis court of green artificial grass surrounded by a hundred Rhododendron bushes. The south facing terraces are built from fossilised limestone from Malta, but underneath is a very English Victorian garden grotto. A lawn for croquet, an orchard for apples, a vegetable garden for fresh produce all add up to the quintessential English country garden.
Facilities include an outdoor heated (heated by solar panels) salt water pool (The swimming pool is open from late May through to September weather dependent), infra red sauna, yoga and dance room, TVs and DVDs in most of the rooms, astro turf tennis court, snooker room, croquet lawn and extensive gardens.
