Set within the heart of Dartmoor National Park, Brook Cottage is a beautifully presented barn conversion offering three double bedrooms and generous open-plan living. The main living area stretches to 35ft, featuring a central Nordic woodburning stove, underfloor heating and shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances and a Smeg range cooker — ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.
Outside the house sits on a substantial 1.51-acre plot including elevated terraces, a hot tub patio, and a large paddock with two field shelters and shed. The paddock has direct access onto the moor and is suitable for grazing or exercising horses. Parking is available in a gravel courtyard within the small collection of former farm buildings.
Practicalities are straightforward: mains gas heating with boiler, multiple bathrooms including an ensuite, double glazing and private drainage compliant with current regulations. The location is peaceful and secluded but within half a mile of North Bovey village and accessible to Moretonhampstead, Chagford and Exeter for schools, shops and transport links.
Buyers should note some material facts: the building dates from before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation; the property is semi-detached. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average. Council Tax is above average. These points are important if remote working or energy-efficiency improvements are priorities.
