An exceptional Grade II listed Devon longhouse, Narracombe Cottage sits on the eastern edge of Dartmoor with far-reaching moorland and coastal views. The main house, dating from 1530 and extended in 1837, offers five bedrooms, four reception rooms and generous period proportions across approximately 2,046 sq ft. The grounds extend to about 9.60 acres including formal walled gardens, paddocks and specimen trees — ideal for family outdoor life or small-scale hobby farming.
The estate includes a range of traditional stone barns and outbuildings, one of which had lapsed planning consent for conversion to a two-bedroom dwelling (Dartmoor National Park application No.0075/21). There is clear potential for ancillary accommodation, workspace or holiday use subject to obtaining the necessary consents within the National Park. Practical features include a wood-pellet biomass boiler, double glazing and private septic drainage; mains electricity and water serve the property.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and location within Dartmoor National Park will complicate alterations and conversions; any redevelopment will require specialist consents. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home working. Council tax is high and the estate uses private drainage. For those seeking a rare, character-rich country house with broad land, historic charm and conversion upside, this offers a distinctive and private moorland lifestyle with coast and town links nearby.
