Blackawton, Totnes, TQ9

Situated on outskirts of Blackawton, close to Dartmouth and the Blue flag beach of Blackpool sands, Pruston House is a beautifully presented detached former Farmhouse believed to date from the 18th century (Although the first mention of a farm on the site was in 1249 Pristeton).

In April 1944 soldiers from Idaho USA were billeted at Pruston House for Exercise Tiger on Slapton beach, a rehearsal for the D-Day landings. Set in a stunning rural location, the private gardens offer an abundant selection of mature well-established shrubs and

trees with lawn areas, pond, and summer house. A meandering stream at the bottom of the garden is crossed by a small bridge. The property enjoys open panoramic views to the South West across adjoining farmland with wonderful sunsets and with no light pollution to enjoy the night’s sky. There is ample parking for several vehicles and a garage whilst to the rear of the property, a large Stone barn with planning permission for the conversion to a two bedroomed separate residential unit, also with glorious views
