We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
AT A GLANCE Trehele Down is a striking example of contemporary country living, reimagined and redesigned by its current owners with modern flair.
Set on a private, gently sloping plot, the property enjoys long-reaching vistas towards Dartmoor while being perfectly positioned just outside the historic market town of Modbury.
Versatile and elegant, the home offers flexible living spaces, including a self-contained one or two-bedroom annexe that can operate independently, be fully incorporated into the main house, or provide income potential as a high-quality rental.
Multi-level terraces and beautifully landscaped gardens complete the picture, creating a home that blends style, functionality, and sustainability—ideal for family life, entertaining, or remote working.
INTERIOR The entrance hall immediately impresses with luxury herringbone LVT flooring, underfloor heating, and a striking stone feature wall, establishing a sense of drama and refinement.
The open-plan living space is bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, perfectly framing the long-reaching views towards Dartmoor.
A double-sided wood-burning stove provides a sophisticated focal point, blending warmth with contemporary elegance.
The kitchen has been reimagined as a masterpiece of design and function, with bespoke cabinetry, fully integrated appliances, and a large central island with seating and a built-in wine fridge.
Polished surfaces, under-cabinet lighting, and floor-to-ceiling glazing ensure the space feels expansive, light-filled, and intrinsically connected to the outdoors.
The dramatic stone wall, visible from the kitchen through the living area, adds texture and character, enhancing the sense of drama and refinement.
Sliding glass doors open directly onto the terraces, seamlessly merging interior and exterior spaces, allowing the spectacular views to become part of daily life.
The self-contained annexe provides exceptional versatility, offering privacy for guests, extended family, or home office use, while also presenting potential income opportunities.
Alternatively, it can be fully integrated into the main house, creating additional bedrooms or living space as required.
Seven exquisitely finished bedrooms, including four en-suites, reflect meticulous attention to luxury, comfort, and contemporary design, while glass partitions and expansive windows throughout ensure a constant dialogue with the surrounding landscape.
EXTERIOR & LIFESTYLE Trehele Down’s exterior is a confident blend of wood cladding and crisp white render beneath a dark-tiled roof, complemented by multi-level terraces and a covered outdoor dining area.
Landscaped gardens, mature trees, and subtle water features enhance privacy and serenity, while the sweeping stone wall and driveway provide both visual drama and functionality.
The property’s design emphasizes a seamless connection to the outdoors, with panoramic views that can be appreciated from almost every principal room.
