Narracombe Cottage is a rare Grade II listed, five-bedroom country house dating from 1530, set in approximately 9.60 acres of formal gardens, paddocks and traditional barns. The principal rooms are large with high ceilings and sash windows, offering southerly and easterly aspects with far-reaching moorland and coastal views. The house combines historic character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and oak floors — with modern comforts including a biomass central heating system and double glazing.

The estate includes a substantial range of outbuildings: a Granary Barn (planning consent granted for a two‑bed conversion), multiple traditional barns and general-purpose livestock stores, giving clear potential for additional accommodation or income subject to Dartmoor National Park consent and listed-building constraints. The gently sloping paddocks are stock-proof fenced and there is scope to purchase further adjoining pasture and amenity woodland by negotiation.

Practical considerations are stated plainly: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and could complicate conversions, broadband speeds are very slow, the house is served by a private septic system and council tax is high. Some fireplaces are disused and the second floor is currently used as storage, offering potential but requiring work to create extra living space.

This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial, characterful rural family home or an investor with experience of working within protected‑land and listed status. Its location on the eastern edge of Dartmoor gives easy access to local village amenities and to the A38 for Exeter and Plymouth, pairing remoteness with reasonable regional connections.
