Property info

The ultimate luxury getaway for a family gathering, celebration or reunion of friends, this four-bedroom home sleeps eight and brings together glorious countryside, astounding interiors and a chic, contemporary vibe for the last word in entertaining. Perched up high on a Dartmoor hill, Higher Mapstone overlooks a velvety valley, like a beautiful patchwork quilt thrown out before you. Enjoy a Devon cream tea in the picture-postcard village of Lustleigh, explore sienna-hued Devon moorland or soak up the seclusion as you gaze out over four acres of private greenery with a glass of something chilled on the terrace. New to the scene is a brand new pool table and table tennis table located in our outbuilding so all the family can play to your hearts content.. Wend your way up the gravel drive to catch your first glimpse of Higher Mapstone. Recently extended and with an exceptional finish throughout, this unique self-catering home provides luxurious comfort in every detail, from the unique circular oak parquet floor in the kitchen to the open-plan living spaces, designed with entertaining in mind. You know you’ve come home as soon as you enter the front door. Kick off your shoes and pad through the welcoming entrance hall to the sitting room, where sumptuous velvet sofas beg you to snuggle up in front of the wood-burning stove with a mug of steaming hot cocoa. The kitchen-dining room is a delight: hand-built in oak and stainless steel, including the dining table, the light and airy space include two distinct sitting areas, from which bi-fold and French doors provide seamless access to the terraces and views. The elegant drawing room, with its fabulous wallpaper adorned with birds and foliage, is the perfect place to retire after a delicious, locally sourced meal, if the elements mean it’s cosier to stay inside.
