Set within 2.55 acres on the edge of Dartmoor, Horseyeatt is a rare, Grade II Listed 16th‑century farmhouse offering five double bedrooms, three reception rooms and extensive outbuildings. The setting is private and picturesque, with two acres of paddocks, stabling and direct access onto open moorland — ideal for equestrian owners or those craving an outdoors lifestyle. Far-reaching south‑west views and multiple garden vantage points give the house strong visual appeal.
Internally the house retains abundant period character: flagstone and timber floors, large inglenook fireplaces and ledged-and-braced doors throughout. Accommodation is spacious (circa 2,704 sq ft) with potential to reconfigure the principal bedroom and adjacent rooms into a dedicated master suite. Practical services include a borehole water supply, a recently installed sewage treatment plant (2024) and oil‑fired central heating with Rayburn hot water support.
Important practical considerations are stated plainly: the property is Grade II Listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; broadband speeds are very slow; council tax is high (Band F); and the location carries a medium flood risk. The house has been well loved and improved over decades but will suit buyers prepared for ongoing conservation and maintenance work rather than those seeking a low‑upkeep home.
This chain‑free freehold offering will suit families, equestrian purchasers or buyers seeking a character home with significant outbuildings and land. Its combination of historic charm, versatile buildings and direct outriding access makes it a distinctive country property, provided buyers accept listed‑building constraints and rural service limitations.
