Brimstone Down is a striking period stone house set high on the edge of Dartmoor, restored in recent years to blend original character with quality contemporary fittings. The house occupies about 11.39 acres of pasture, formal garden, woodland and a wildlife pond, with panoramic views over the North Teign Valley and direct pedestrian access towards open moorland. Large reception rooms, a separate single-storey annex and multiple outbuildings (garage, workshop, stores and a studio) give flexibility for family living, home-working or hobby uses.
The principal accommodation includes four bedrooms, four bathrooms and generous living space across multiple levels. Traditional features remain prominent — exposed granite walls and boards, fireplaces with wood burners and high timbers in the annex — while the kitchen/dining area benefits from a fitted kitchen and a Rayburn. The property sits within Dartmoor National Park, offering outstanding rural tranquillity, wildlife interest and immediate access to walking, riding and countryside pursuits.
Practical points to note: heating is by LPG boiler and radiators (not a mains gas connection), the stone walls are original and assumed to have no added insulation, and council tax is above average. The house is reached off a quiet lane and forms an isolated hamlet-style setting, which will suit buyers seeking privacy but is less convenient for daily commuting.
This home will appeal to families or buyers looking for a period country property with substantial land and outbuildings, and to those who value countryside lifestyle, views and space. Newly renovated interiors reduce immediate refurbishment need, but the rural location and traditional construction mean ongoing maintenance and running costs (fuel and upkeep of large grounds) should be expected.
