Highview, Broadhempston

A Modern Home with Character and Countryside Views

Set in the heart of Broadhempston, one of South Devon’s most desirable villages, this beautifully crafted four-bedroom home combines the best of both worlds: modern efficiency with traditional character. Built by the current owners in 2016 to an exceptional standard, it offers a thoughtful, low-maintenance design with impressive eco credentials, including underfloor heating throughout powered by an air source heat pump.

Equally suited to full-time living or as a secure and stylish lock-up-and-leave, this is a home that feels both refined and relaxed, a place to enjoy the peace of village life with Totnes, Dartmoor, and the South Hams close at hand.

The Inside

A striking double-height entrance hall sets the tone, with exposed French oak beams drawing the eye upward and creating a sense of warmth and character from the outset.

Upstairs, the main living space is nothing short of spectacular. Designed with open-plan living in mind, the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas are beautifully zoned to create a natural flow while still feeling distinct. The sense of space is remarkable, with generous proportions allowing each area to breathe and giving the kitchen and living room the feeling of individual rooms within a connected space.

At one end, the kitchen is fitted with a large island and breakfast bar, solid oak worktops, and matching cabinetry. Integrated appliances include an electric AGA, dishwasher, tall fridge and freezer, and double sink. It’s a well-considered space, ideal for both daily living and entertaining. The dining area sits comfortably between the kitchen and the main living room, which features a central wood burner on a slate hearth and bi-folding doors that open onto the west-facing terrace, bringing in natural light and framing the expansive countryside views.

All four bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor, offering ease and flexibility for modern living. The principal suite enjoys a generous footprint, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a fully tiled en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Two further double bedrooms enjoy lovely natural light and views across the surrounding landscape, while the fourth bedroom, currently used as a study, offers versatility as a spacious guest room, home office, or hobby space.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, with a roll-top bath, corner shower, and classic fittings. There is also a separate WC for guests.

A practical utility room, with sink, worktop space, and plumbing for laundry appliances, provides everyday functionality and connects directly to the double garage.

The Outside

One of the standout features of this home is the west-facing terrace leading directly from the first-floor living space. Framed by bi-folding doors, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy long views across open countryside, whether you’re entertaining with drinks at sunset or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee in the morning light. It’s a space that truly connects the indoors with the natural beauty beyond.

At ground level, a gated driveway provides ample parking and leads to the integral double garage. The garden has been designed with ease in mind. A wrap-around patio offers further space to sit and relax, while the level lawn and mature borders create a calm, low-maintenance setting.

Location

Broadhempston is a welcoming and well-connected village, known for its strong community spirit, charming pubs (the Coppa Dolla Inn and the Monk’s Retreat), and peaceful setting. Tucked away from main roads, the village also offers a primary school, shop/post office, and a 13th-century church.

The nearby towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot offer an excellent range of amenities, schools, and mainline rail connections, with direct trains to London Paddington in as little as 2.5 hours. Exeter and Plymouth are both within easy reach by road, while the beaches of Torbay, Teignbridge, and the South Hams provide endless options for days out by the coast.

With Dartmoor National Park just a short drive away, and access to some of the South West’s most beautiful countryside and coastline, this is a location that combines seclusion, scenery, and superb connectivity.
