Characterful village home with large garden and garage, ideal for family life.
Grade II listed five-bedroom cottage in Dartmoor National Park
Set within Dartmoor National Park, this Grade II listed five-bedroom cottage blends authentic character with practical modern upgrades. The stone facade, climbing wisteria and exposed beams preserve period charm while the updated kitchen and multiple reception rooms provide comfortable family living. A generous garage, outbuildings and a very large rear garden deliver useful storage and outdoor space.
Important practical points are straightforward: the listing status will restrict changes and could complicate extensions or alterations; planning or listed-building consent may be required. Heating is via an oil-fired boiler to radiators, broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is described as expensive — factors to balance against the village setting and property size.
The location suits families or buyers seeking rural life — the hamlet offers very low crime, a Good-rated primary school in Hennock and nearby independent schooling at Stover. Village amenities include a pub, village hall, post box and community facilities, while elevated countryside views and peaceful garden areas appeal to those wanting privacy and landscape outlooks.
For buyers prepared to work within listed-building constraints, the house offers scope for sympathetic improvement and modernisation to increase comfort or value. Conversely, those needing high-speed broadband or low-cost heating should note the slow internet and oil fuel source before viewing.
