Hayloft Cottage is a rare 17th‑century granite barn conversion set on the edge of Widecombe‑in‑the‑Moor within Dartmoor National Park. The principal living space occupies the first floor as a vaulted, open‑plan “Great Room” with exposed beams, powered Velux skylights, a feature island kitchen and a wood‑burning stove — a light, characterful space ideal for entertaining and enjoying moorland views. Three double bedrooms, stone flooring and fitted wardrobes sit on the ground floor, with a master en‑suite and a separate family bathroom.
Outside the plot includes gated off‑street parking for several cars, a sunny patio, an expansive private lawn, a lower sheltered deck and useful storage shed. A traditional granite barn (recent new roof) is included, with three rooms, mezzanine and power — good for workshop, storage or conversion subject to consent. Services include private borehole water, private drainage and mains electricity; broadband options include FTTP and Starlink availability.
The property suits buyers seeking a peaceful rural retreat with strong character and flexible outbuildings — from countryside families to buyers wanting a Dartmoor base or hobby smallholding. Be aware this is a remote, hamlet location with narrow country‑lane access and no mobile signal. Some elements require attention: the stone walls are understood to be uninsulated, and the property uses non‑district heating arrangements (information on oil central heating versus electric/room heaters is inconsistent). Ongoing maintenance of the private water supply and septic drainage is likely.
Hayloft offers outstanding location, period charm and external space, but buyers should budget for rural living costs and potential thermal upgrading. Viewing will best show how the house’s generous character spaces and barn outbuildings fit your long‑term plans.
