The White House is a spacious four-bedroom, four-bathroom detached character home set on a large plot on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. The house combines period charm — exposed stonework, sash windows and feature fireplaces — with practical family spaces: a generous kitchen/breakfast room with solid oak island, multiple reception rooms, and a private sun terrace. Off-road parking for several cars and a double garage/workshop add real everyday convenience.
The property has previously traded successfully as a bed & breakfast, so it will suit buyers wanting flexible multi-generational living or those exploring business use (any commercial use will require consent from Dartmoor National Park Authority). Internally the layout offers sizeable principal rooms, a vaulted principal bedroom and a mix of en-suite and family bathrooms, making it straightforward to run as a home with lettable rooms or for a larger family.
Important practical points are clear: heating is via a community oil-fired system and the house uses a private water supply with a cesspit; the granite walls appear uninsulated (assumed), and the EPC is D (59). Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider if remote working is essential. There is a medium flood risk for the area; buyers should check insurance and local flood maps.
Overall this is a well-presented period home with significant character and scope — whether as a comfortable rural family house, a part-time business, or a project for sympathetic improvement. Viewing is recommended to judge the layout, setting and potential for upgrading services and insulation.
