Set within a quiet Dartmoor hamlet, 1 North Harton Cottage is a highly characterful Grade II listed former farmhouse dating from the 17th/early 18th century. The stone-built cottage retains exposed beams, stone fireplaces and two cosy reception rooms each with wood-burners; the central kitchen-diner has an ESSE multi-fuel stove that provides cooking and hot water. A south-facing cottage garden and a larger orchard/vegetable garden nearby create private outdoor rooms, with a greenhouse and a stone/block outbuilding offering practical studio or workshop space.
This is a comfortable family home across two storeys with four bedrooms and one ground-floor bathroom; planning consent has been granted to add a shower room/WC on the first floor to improve practical use. The plot is generous for a cottage and benefits from wildlife, stream-side walks and immediate access to Lustleigh Cleave and Dartmoor scenery. Local villages and small towns are within a short drive for everyday amenities, schools and services.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listing brings historic charm but also constraints — repairs and alterations will need listed-building consent and may limit modernisation. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is vegetation overgrowth on parts of the facade that will need sympathetic maintenance. The cottage is attached at a corner to another dwelling and retains period proportions, which may not suit buyers needing fully open-plan contemporary layouts.
Overall this is a rare, character-rich Dartmoor cottage for buyers who value history, rural privacy and garden space and who are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and some ongoing maintenance. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the ambience, plot layout and potential created by the existing consent for a first-floor shower room.
