Summary - The Linhay, The Old Forge, Sampford Spiney PL20 6LD
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Large grounds, detached garage and strong rental potential close to open moorland.
Six-bedroom detached character house plus separate two-bed annex
A spacious detached character home set in about 1.5 acres on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, this property combines renovated period charm with a modern, self-contained annex. The Old Forge offers exposed beams, parquet and solid wood floors, a vaulted master bedroom area and an open-plan kitchen/dining room with a multifuel Rayburn; the separate Dartmoor Linhay annex provides two bedrooms, its own kitchen and a balcony overlooking the gardens.
The grounds are a major asset: paddock, orchard, granite-paved patio and a large timber-framed double garage/workshop with additional storage sheds and parking for multiple vehicles. The layout suits multi-generational living, holiday-let or Airbnb income from the annex while keeping private family living in the main house.
Practical points are straightforward: the main heating uses an LPG boiler and oil-fired Aga, water/waste run to a septic tank, and the plot sits in a very low-crime, semi-rural hamlet with immediate access to open moorland. Broadband speeds are slow and the master bedroom has limited head-height in parts, factors to consider if remote working or full-height master rooms are priorities.
Overall this is a renovated, character-rich property with considerable outdoor space and versatile accommodation; it will suit buyers seeking rural lifestyle, income potential or space for extended family, but those requiring high-speed broadband or mains sewerage should note the current limitations.
