The details
Escape to Higher Cross Park, a beautifully renovated 19th-century farmhouse in the heart of South Devon’s stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nestled between the dramatic moors and the sparkling sea in Thurlestone (aka The South Hams), this luxurious retreat offers the ideal balance of rustic charm and modern comforts.
The heart of this farmhouse is its expansive kitchen, which flows effortlessly into an impressive double-height orangery framed by oak beams. This stunning space is a chef’s dream, featuring a four-oven Aga (guides provided for first-timers!), multiple fridge/freezers as well as wine racks and a temperature controlled wine fridge. During the warmer months, open the bi-fold doors to the Italian-inspired courtyard, where you can enjoy alfresco dining and make the most of the BBQ area.
On cooler days, stay inside and relax in the living room that has timeless charm and a multifunctional layout. From ornate furniture to soft furnishings, every element here is designed to make you feel right at home. If you fancy some peace, then the snug, with its wood-burning stove, is the ultimate place to relax, offering a warm and welcoming space to curl up with a book or watch a movie. You can also head to the reading room, stocked with books and games, and enjoy another cosy log burner for those lazy afternoons. For moments of solitude or productivity, there’s a study to catch up on work, while the private gym is equipped for those who want to stay active with cardio machines, weights, yoga gear and plenty of space to stretch.
When night falls, Higher Cross Park’s bedrooms offer the perfect blend of elegance and comfort. The Master Suite is a true haven, complete with a king size bed, French furniture and a private balcony with sweeping views to Bolt Tail and Hope Cove. A peaceful king bedroom with Dartmoor views features boutique-style décor, while the Susie Watson-inspired Queen bedroom overlooks the front garden and has access to the spacious family bathroom along with the king bedroom. The Twin Suite on the second floor offers beautiful views and an ensuite, while the private Principal Suite, accessed via its own stairwell, includes a sitting room, ensuite and veranda leading to the swimming pool - a perfect place for an early morning swim.
For entertainment, the cinema room offers a stylish setting with deep, rich colours and ambient lighting for the perfect movie night or a game of pool. Outside in the garden's highest point, Thurlestone’s first art-deco bar offers stunning views across the moors to the ocean, making it the best spot to enjoy a cocktail or nightcap. In summer, open the windows to take in the stunning sunsets, and in cooler months, light the log burner for a cosy atmosphere.
The heated swimming pool is a true suntrap, set within beautifully manicured gardens, making it the perfect spot to relax on loungers and bask in the Devon sunshine. Adjacent to the pool, the hot tub seats up to eight people and offers yet more sweeping views down to Bantham. Perfect for a relaxing soak with a drink from the nearby bar, this is the ultimate way to unwind in luxury.
If you wish to venture out and explore, there’s lots to see and do nearby. Enjoy golf at Thurlestone or indulge in a lovely pub meal. Or, head to the coast and visit Batham, which has a great surf beach and some lovely pubs. You’re also nicely placed to visit Hope Cove, South Milton and Salcombe.
