Pulborough House

Welcome to Pulborough House, a lovingly restored detached white farmhouse in the centre of the much sough-after village of Lydford, including Devon Pub of the Year 2024, The Castle! Situated on the edge of Dartmoor, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy plenty of days out including The Granite Way, Tamar Trails Outdoor Activities and National Trust sites. There's even a boot or bike room/utility providing space for bikes, boots, trail shoes and all things fun, and that all-important tumble-drier. After a day of adventure why not head back for a barbecue in the garden or snuggle up in front of either the log fire or wood-burner in one of the two reception rooms.

The peaceful village of Lydford prides itself on dark skies, so an evening of star gazing is a must! Whether you are a group of friends looking for a countryside retreat, or a family seeking a gorgeous holiday home, no matter the season, Pulborough House has plenty of space for everyone including your four-legged friends.

Built around 1820, this delightful home has been sympathetically restored and from the moment you arrive here you will be captivated. Situated in the picturesque village of Lydford and surrounded by similar properties, to the front the traditional cobbled area is shared with neighbours, with the occasional walker or horse rider passing by on the village road.

On entering through the mosaic tiled porch you walk into the airy entrance hall with views of the 200 year old stained glass window halfway up the stairs. On the left you can relax and chat in the cosy sitting-room with an open fire. The large TV uses a Roku box where Netflix, Prime, Disney Plus and Now TV can be accessed (please bring your own log in details to access these platforms).

To the right is a large separate dining-room which doubles up as a games-room. This room contains a large solid wood family dining-table where you can eat and play games, do jigsaws and plan your holiday activities. There is also a table football to be enjoyed by children through to adults. A perfect room to share, have fun and just spend time together as friends and family, with a wood-burner to add atmosphere for everyone.

Two steps take you up into the fabulous kitchen which has a splendid range cooker and all the additional equipment you will need to cook a holiday meal, including an air fryer and the all important dishwasher.

Climb the stairs to the first floor and you will find four pretty bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom one has twin beds, ideal for either children or adults, whilst bedroom two has the luxury of 'zip and link' beds so you can choose either twin beds or a super-king size double bed. Bedroom three is a lovely double room and bedroom four, the main bedroom, has a fabulous king-size bed and en suite shower-room. Each and every room floods with light offering lovely views of your village setting thanks to the sash windows. The family bathroom has a gorgeous roll-top bath and a separate shower cubicle so you can choose either a relaxing soak or a refreshing powerful shower after a busy day of adventures.

The private south-facing rear garden at Pulborough House can be accessed from the kitchen door via the courtyard gate or from the back door in the entrance hall. The garden is a beautiful mixture of both lawn and patio. Depending upon the time of year you will enjoy relaxing there with established flowers from camellias, a large climbing wisteria, a rhododendron, or a magnolia tree. There is ample space for the children and family dogs and it is perfect for al fresco dining or having a barbecue in the Devonshire sunshine.

With plenty of parking, the village pub just a short stroll away, easy access to Dartmoor with its beautiful walks, cycle and run routes, hundreds of sights, places of interest and easy access to the West Coast Way and Coast to Coast routes, this is a great base for all your Dartmoor adventures.
