A rare countryside family home set on about 6.69 acres, Woolfold Cottage combines period character with a large, contemporary kitchen/dining family space. The heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen/diner created circa 2008, with full-width skylight, underfloor heating and ample storage — ideal for family life and entertaining. Outside, extensive formal gardens, an orchard, vegetable beds and a rear field provide excellent space for equestrian use, small-scale grazing or children’s outdoor play.
The house provides five good-sized bedrooms and generous reception rooms arranged over two floors, with a substantial family bathroom upstairs and a separate ground-floor wet room for practical day-to-day living. Practical additions include a boot room, outside utility/hobbies room, two-store outbuilding storage rooms and fibre broadband direct to the property.
Notable points to consider: the property is traditionally heated by an oil boiler and has an EPC rating of D. The single garage is located across the road rather than immediately adjacent, and parts of the land are currently grazed by neighbouring livestock. The building has historic origins (believed to date to the 1400s) with later structural work noted in records 1996–2002; prospective buyers should factor in ongoing maintenance for an older property and survey for any required conservation or repair work.
Set on the edge of Chagford and within Dartmoor National Park, the location offers village amenities, riverside walks and moorland access while remaining approximately 20 miles from Exeter and close to the A30 for wider connections. This property will suit families seeking space, character and equestrian potential in an affluent, low-crime rural area.
