Summary - HIGHER STINIEL CHAGFORD NEWTON ABBOT TQ13 8EL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family home with outbuildings and almost 15 acres of varied pasture and woodland.
Grade II listed 15th–16th century thatched farmhouse, recently rethatched and renovated
Higher Stiniel is a rare, fully renovated Grade II listed thatched house set within Dartmoor National Park, combining historic craftsmanship with generous modern living. The main house dates from the late 15th–early 16th century and retains striking features such as original cruck timbers, an axial chimney stack and a principal bedroom with an arched beam; recent rethatching and refurbishment make the interior immediately habitable.
Arranged over an extremely large footprint (about 6,018 sq ft) the property offers four bedrooms, four reception rooms, two bathrooms and numerous outbuildings including two thatched structures and a two-storey barn. Grounds extend to about 14.95 acres (Lot 1: 10.62 acres with house; Lot 2: 4.33 acres meadow and stream) and include walled south-facing gardens, paddock, woodland, wildflower meadows and extensive tree planting with far-reaching views across Dartmoor.
This is an attractive proposition for families who value space, privacy and outdoor life, smallholders or buyers seeking a lifestyle property with scope for equestrian or small agricultural use. The outbuildings provide flexible workshop, storage or hobby space and the land is well suited to wildlife, orcharding or rewilding.
Important practical points are candidly noted: Grade II listing restricts some alterations and may complicate changes; broadband speeds are very slow; council tax is described as quite expensive. The hamlet is secluded (one of five dwellings) yet just 1.5 miles from Chagford for shops, schooling and services, with good road links to the A30 and Exeter beyond.
