Set within just over an acre in the Dartmoor National Park, this detached period farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke countryside home. The plot includes wrap-around gardens, an attached paddock with timber stables and driveway parking with an attached garage. Many rooms enjoy attractive rural views and the setting is hugely quiet and private, with immediate access to open moorland.
The house currently requires refurbishment and modernisation; EPC Band F and oil-fired heating indicate energy upgrades would be beneficial. There is obvious scope to remodel and extend subject to planning (STP) to increase living space and improve efficiency. Services include mains water and electricity, private drainage via a septic tank (condition and compliance unknown) and double glazing of unknown age.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property lies in a high flood risk area, the stables need repair or replacement, broadband speeds are slow, and solid granite walls appear to lack insulation. Council Tax Band E and oil heating are additional running-cost factors to weigh.
For a buyer seeking space, privacy and character, this chain-free property presents significant long-term upside. With sensitive renovation it can become a comfortable family home or an attractive holiday/lettings base from which to enjoy Dartmoor’s outdoors and nearby village amenities.
