Property info

Escape to the Devon countryside and create unforgettable memories at Heron House, where luxury meets Grand Designs-approved sustainability. Relaxation is guaranteed for large families or groups – and their furry friends. This contemporary eco-home on Heron Farm near Honiton encapsulates modern bucolic bliss. After a bracing day out with the dogs, warm up in the wood-fired hot tub with a chilled glass of fizz from your own vineyard. And breathe! Inside - Designed with a sweeping roof curved like a plough, the architecturally acclaimed Heron House is visually striking but blends seamlessly into the gardens, vineyard and undulating fields that surround it. This awareness of nature and its rhythms continues inside. Flooded with natural light from huge floor-to-ceiling windows, almost every room in this luxury self-catering stay offers captivating views of the local countryside. Literally step into those views via the first-floor wrap-around balcony and truly immerse yourself in the beauty of the surroundings. Slick interiors are softened by natural wood, velvety textures and plenty of nooks and crannies to rest. A spacious open plan living area provides squishy sofas for weary bodies, from adults choosing to chill with a book to children sprawled out with a board game or sleepy pups getting toasty by the woodburner. For those who feel most at home in the kitchen, stock up on wine, gin, apple juice, jams and chutneys from the farm shop next door. Settle in around the huge dining table or throw open the doors and take the party outside and enjoy dining in the fresh air. Fire up the grill on balmy summer evenings for a smoky slant on al fresco eating. Five luxury bedrooms spread out over the ground and first floors offer the sweetest slumber imaginable. Four are kingsize – one with a walk-in wet room – while the fifth has two bunk beds, ideal for four kids. Two further bathrooms complete the picture of comfort. Outside - large garden - wood fire hot tub, ev charging.
