Set amidst glorious Devon countryside with breathtaking views towards Dartmoor, Minehouse is a beautifully refurbished detached cottage offering a rare opportunity to acquire a peaceful rural home with land, privacy and exceptional lifestyle appeal. Positioned within approximately 3.79 acres and enjoying no immediate neighbours, the property perfectly combines character, practicality and countryside living.

The cottage has undergone extensive improvements in recent times, both internally and externally, creating a home ready for immediate occupation whilst still offering further potential for enhancement. The welcoming entrance lobby provides an ideal boot room space for country living before leading into a stylish kitchen fitted with modern units, a traditional butler sink and attractive character features including exposed stonework. The sitting room is warm and inviting, centred around a striking stone fireplace with multi fuel stove, whilst enjoying stunning views towards the tors of Dartmoor.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two comfortable bedrooms, both benefitting from delightful rural outlooks, alongside a newly fitted shower room finished in a contemporary style. Throughout the home there is a wonderful sense of charm and simplicity, complemented by natural light and far reaching countryside views.

Outside, the setting is truly special. The property is approached via its own private track leading to generous parking and turning space for numerous vehicles. Attached barns and outbuildings provide excellent versatility for storage, workshops or potential future extension, subject to the necessary consents. The adjoining stone barn has already benefited from significant improvement works including a new roof and concrete floor, presenting exciting possibilities for buyers seeking additional accommodation or workspace.

The surrounding gardens and paddocks are ideal for those with equestrian interests, livestock or simply a desire for outdoor space. Newly fenced and divided into enclosures, the land enjoys direct access to outstanding riding, walking and cycling routes nearby, including Dartmoor National Park and the Granite Way. A field shelter also, further enhancing the usability of the land.

Despite its idyllic rural position, Minehouse remains highly accessible with the A30 nearby providing convenient links towards Exeter, Cornwall and beyond. Offered with no onward chain, this is a superb lifestyle property in an outstanding countryside setting.

Perfectly positioned within the sought after village parish of Sourton, Minehouse enjoys an exceptional setting surrounded by some of Devon’s most spectacular countryside. Located on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, the property offers immediate access to endless walking, cycling and riding opportunities, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a quieter pace of life.

The nearby village is home to the well regarded The Highwayman Inn alongside a popular café, village hall and church, creating a welcoming rural community atmosphere. The renowned Granite Way is close by, providing scenic off road routes through stunning countryside.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains highly accessible, with the A30 within easy reach offering convenient links towards Exeter, Cornwall and the wider motorway network. The nearby market town of Okehampton provides an excellent range of shops, cafés, schooling and everyday amenities.
