Dartmoor Edge Project With Breathtaking Views & Huge Potential

Originally built in 1861 and extended over the years, the property now offers a generous and flexible layout with three double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom/study on the first floor—ideal for remote working, a nursery, or occasional guest room. The ground floor includes a large sitting room with feature stone fireplace, a dual-aspect kitchen/dining room, and a welcoming entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys the same sweeping Dartmoor views as the balcony it opens onto, perfect for enjoying morning sunrises or evening skies. Two further double bedrooms, the single bedroom/study, and a family bathroom complete the first floor.

Outside, the integral double garage, once used as a stable, could be retained for equestrian use or converted to additional living space, subject to the necessary consents. A gated driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles, and the garden is both private and manageable—ideal for those wanting to landscape, grow their own produce, or simply enjoy the peace of the countryside.

Also available by separate negotiation is a 1.8-acre field, located less than 10 minutes away by car, perfect for equestrian use, a smallholding, or further development potential.
