LOCATION: Strategically well set in the beautiful rolling South Hams countryside, a short drive south of the A38 Devon Expressway, 2 miles north of the superbly equipped village of Yealmpton. Plymouth City Centre and its historic waterfront are only 5 miles away. The wide open spaces of the Dartmoor National Park, the unspoilt South Devon coastline, and the yachtsmen’s haven of Newton Ferrers on the Yealm Estuary, are within 20 minutes' drive.

HISTORICAL NOTE ON HARESTON FARM BARNS: In 1903 the Plymouth Cooperative Society purchased Hareston Farm (149 acres) to help with ever increasing demand for its products and erected the beautiful stone buildings you see today. The redevelopment, primarily as a dairy farm, was completed in 1908. The characteristic stone used in the construction, with brick quoins and occasional granite dressings, reflects later 19th and 20th Century architectural styles for substantial agricultural buildings in this part of the Westcountry.
