Main house newly refurbished, nine bedrooms and multiple reception rooms
Two renovated cottages providing guest or holiday-let income potential

High council tax and estate running costs due to property scale
Shilstone is a substantial thatched stone house set within almost 30 acres on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Recently refurbished throughout, the main residence combines high-end contemporary finishes with intact period character, including vaulted principal suite views, bespoke kitchen, multiple reception rooms and a dedicated media/cinema room. The elevated position gives long-range moorland views and a strong sense of privacy from surrounding rising ground.
The estate includes two recently renovated cottages, a well-equipped equestrian yard with six loose boxes, a competition-sized arena, paddocks and several substantial stone outbuildings — one barn offering potential for conversion subject to planning. The site layout suits extended family living, guest accommodation or continued holiday-let/income use from the cottages.
Practical considerations: the property sits in a remote hamlet with excellent mobile signal but very slow broadband, which may affect home-working or streaming without specialist connectivity solutions. Thatched roofs and extensive grounds require ongoing maintenance and estate management. Council tax and running costs will be high given the size and listed/period fabric. Any changes to outbuildings will need planning consent.
Overall, Shilstone will suit buyers seeking a private, high-character country home with equestrian facilities and flexible ancillary accommodation, who are prepared for the costs and responsibilities of maintaining a large historic estate.
