About this property

Puggiestone is an exquisite country manor house with a tremendous indoor heated swimming pool set within beautiful gardens. Boasting magnificent bucolic views from its elevated position on the outskirts of the gorgeous up market village of Chagford within the popular Dartmoor National Park. An elegant contemporary style has been achieved by combining hip and elegant minimalist décor with high quality furnishings throughout. 

Entering through the classical front door, the welcoming hallway leads through to the delightfully airy and spacious living room. Comfortable soft furnishings abound, and the configuration is set up to showcase the incredible vista afforded from the large glass sliding doors leading out to both the beautifully manicured gardens and an attractive courtyard with seating and adjacent to the indoor pool house. The large open plan kitchen / diner is luxuriously equipped, and a cleverly designed wall to ceiling glass corner allows gorgeous views out over the garden. We are sure that many an hour will be spent here admiring the views whilst rustling up your meals. The seven eye-catching bedrooms are all designed and furnished to the highest of standards, with the master en suite bedroom boasting its own dressing area, bath tub, shower and twin hand basins.

Appealing and attractive, the outdoor areas are equally extravagant and are sure to be the focal point of your stay here, with a vast expanse of woodland, a lengthy stretch of the river Teign with private fishing rights and acres upon acres of lovely tended grass to play on. There is plenty of space for alfresco dining with a barbecue area conveniently located close to the lovely outdoor seating area, making for long, sociable and fun evenings under the unpolluted sky. For those visiting in the warmer months of the year, we are sure that the shed (tree house!) will become a popular place to chill out in the late afternoon/early evening, with its floor to ceiling glass windows and wrap-around decked balcony making you feel like you are in the tree tops. This has to be the most perfect spot for a relaxing G&T and a chat with good friends. The inviting indoor private swimming pool with sauna, seating and TV can be found in the glass fronted pool house to one side of the colourful courtyard. We are sure that many an early morning will be spent here burning the calories before another day of over indulgence!

Within the gorgeous village of Chagford there is a great choice of country pubs to wine and dine including a michelin starred restaurant, all within walking distance. Puggiestone is sure to become a firm favourite amongst our most discerning of clientele.

    Awesome is the only word to use for this place. The tastefully, yet unusually decorated house itself is luxurious and comfortable, in a stunning setting with gorgeous views down to the river. Even the swimming pool room evokes emotions that make it hard to leave the picturesque charm of Puggiestone. Venture into the local village Chagford for provisions and make sure you stock up from the friendly local butcher whose bacon goes down a treat after a country walk in the woods, all sorts of pasties from the bakery and classic West Country ‘homity pies’ from Blacks the deli (yep, this Devon village has it all – dairy, off licence, bakery, pubs, florist and all manner of shops) and you’ll have a fine time here. One question tho. When can we come back?

    We had such a wonderful time at Puggiestone, ‘The best Christmas ever’, according to my son, who tells me he is the only child in his class who was swimming on Christmas day. Twice! We loved every minute. The house was spotless on arrival – even my very particular mother was impressed. The whole place felt welcoming and gorgeously decorated for Christmas. Puggiestone’s grounds are incredible. The rainy weather meant we (happily) made more use of the pool than the garden but, when it cleared up, there was always somewhere interesting to explore outdoors. It was nice not to have to drive away to enjoy such beautiful natural surroundings.

  • Mrs Murray

    What a wonderful choice for a truly relaxing, peaceful time in the most beautiful setting overlooking sweeping lawns and a fresh gushing river. This large appealing house is decorated in a sophisticated, contemporary style with a variety of warm, comfortable places to sit and a kitchen containing everything a keen chef would require. The heated pool is a treat! Great detail….large beds and lovely linen. Good views. Also good for walking and Chagford nearby. Perfection!
