4 SITUATION Goldburn House is situated just outside the small unspoilt village of Inwardleigh, close to Abbeyford Woods, a Forestry Commission mixed woodland providing delightful walks, cycling and horse riding (by permit). The road up to Goldburn leads through the woodland, which adjoins the Okement River and is a haven for wildlife including deer and the occasional otter as well as a wide variety of birds, flora and fauna. The market town of Okehampton is easily accessible, providing an excellent range of shops, services and three supermarkets, including a Waitrose. The town has schooling from infant to sixth form level, a modern hospital and state of the art leisure centre in the attractive setting of Simmons Park. From Okehampton there is direct access to the A30 dual carriageway, providing a link into Cornwall or east to the Cathedral and University city of Exeter with M5 motorway, mainline rail and international air connections. Dartmoor National Park is accessible at Okehampton with hundreds of square miles of superb unspoilt scenery, perfect for riding, walking and other outdoor pursuits. In addition, the north and south coasts of Devon, with some attractive beaches and spectacular coastal scenery, are within easy reach. The area is also well known for its leisure and sporting opportunities with fishing on the Taw and the Torridge, whilst the Tarka Trail offers further walking, cycling and horse riding opportunities. DESCRIPTION Goldburn House is a wonderful example of a beautifully presented Regency country house situated within a quiet and tucked away rural location. Built around 1710 the property exudes all the hallmarks associated with it s bygone age. In recent years the property has undergone a comprehensive and sympathetic restoration programme whereby modern day comforts combine perfectly with the many notable features found throughout the property. A colonnaded entrance portico leads into an elegant entrance hall where in turn a beautifully carved Queen Anne staircase with polished timber balustrade leads to the three floors. There is a stunning master bedroom suite, guest suite together with four further bedrooms (one en-suite) and family bathroom.

5 Classic symmetry, well-proportioned reception rooms with large windows and impressive fireplaces again are a reminder of the period, whilst a large kitchen breakfast room with a modern twist provides an excellent living/dining area. Goldburn House is a lovely choice with all the comfort and convenience of a modern property steeped in character. The restoration has achieved a stunning blend of old and new offering accommodation that has character, style and individuality.
