Summary - North Bovey, Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ13 TQ13 8RH
7 bed 5 bath Farm House
Large listed farmhouse with separate cottage and extensive pasture on Dartmoor fringe.
Grade II listed early‑16th century farmhouse with original features
Southmeads is a substantial Grade II listed farmhouse on the eastern edge of Dartmoor, set within about 5.42 acres of pasture, garden and woodland. The core house dates from the 16th century and retains wide inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers, stone floors and extensive oak joinery alongside a large, well-appointed farmhouse kitchen and a south‑southeast aspect that captures natural light throughout the day.
The hamlet setting offers rare privacy while remaining connected: a half‑mile private lane leads to a small group of listed buildings, the property sits in a low‑crime area, and mobile signal is excellent. The main house provides four principal bedrooms plus a principal suite and guest accommodation; a self‑contained three‑bed cottage is currently incorporated but readily separable to create an income stream or useful ancillary space.
There are multiple outbuildings — a double‑height barn (partially roofless), a two‑storey cattle barn with hayloft and a 19th‑century pig‑house — and a former farmyard now arranged as a walled garden and terrace. The layout and land support equestrian or small‑holding use; a separate Lot 2 (about 6.61 acres) is available by negotiation if more grazing or moorland is required.
Important considerations: the listed status means works will need listed‑building consent and can restrict alterations and repairs. One barn is currently roofless and other outbuildings will need maintenance; broadband speeds are very slow. Council tax is high; the property’s age and scale bring ongoing upkeep responsibilities.
