Summary - HIGHER STINIEL CHAGFORD NEWTON ABBOT TQ13 8EL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Renovated period farmhouse with extensive outbuildings and 10.62 acres.
Grade II listed late 15th–early 16th century farmhouse
Higher Stiniel is a rare, fully renovated Grade II listed farmhouse set in the heart of Dartmoor National Park. Dating from the late 15th–early 16th century, the house retains striking period features — cruck timbers in the principal bedroom, a large axial chimney and an original bread oven in the sitting room — while offering comfortable, modern living across an exceptionally large footprint (about 6,018 sq ft).
The south-facing main house benefits from large sash and leaded windows, a traditional AGA kitchen with utility and larder, four reception rooms and a principal suite with walk-in closet. Recent sympathetic works include rethatching and a comprehensive refurbishment that blends character with upgraded services where possible. Landscaped walled front gardens, level lawns, mature specimen trees and sheltered courtyard spaces create multiple outdoor living areas.
The holding is a strong draw for smallholders or equestrian buyers: versatile outbuildings (two thatched), a two-storey thatched barn, stables, large barn and paddocks. Lot 1 comprises the house, outbuildings and four fields (10.62 acres). Lot 2 is a separate secluded valley of about 4.33 acres with stream, wet meadows and woodland — 14.95 acres in total if sold together. From the higher ground there are far-reaching views across Dartmoor towards Hookney and Birch Tor.
Practical considerations are clear and important. Grade II listing will restrict change and can complicate further alterations. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — relevant for remote working or digital-dependent households. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property sits 1.5 miles from Chagford, which provides good local shops, schooling and transport links to Exeter and the A30.
