The old farmhouse is left with just an acre of land for guests to relax and enjoy. Weather permitting we have been known to serve breakfast under the lime tree! It is a traditional Georgian style dating from 1836 and stuffed with antiques and memorabilia due to my magpie nature.
I was a director of the Conservative Party and then a Political Secretary to a number of MEPs I have been known to describe myself as a 'salesman' - very often of an inferior product! However it has resulted in a fascination for all things political mostly from the nineteenth century and earlier. I am also a theatre and opera addict.
The advantages of Elmfield include the easy access from the A30, the proximity to Dartmoor and we are almost equidistant from both north and south coasts. The village itself is remote and night clubs could be difficult to find! However the local pub (the Green Dragon) gets quite lively from time to time! (I declare a pecuniary interest!)
