Description
The main house is built from locally sourced granite and slate, with leaded casement windows flooding the interiors with natural light while preserving its historic integrity. Inside, the home offers over 6,000 sq ft of beautifully restored accommodation across two floors. The elegant drawing and dining rooms are both south-facing with views over the landscaped gardens and ponds. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, arranged around a triple AGA and large island, with direct access to a south-facing terrace.
Additional living spaces include a cinema / TV room with raised wood burner, a library, and a study. A rear glazed hallway leads to a self-contained secondary wing, ideal for guests or staff, which includes its own kitchen, two bedrooms and two shower rooms.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys spectacular views across the estate, and includes a dressing room and en suite bathroom. A guest suite with en suite, along with three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, complete the first floor.
Additional Accommodation
Two well-appointed cottages are discreetly located near the main drive. Each includes two bedrooms, a sitting/dining room, kitchen, shower room, and entrance hall, making them ideal for guests, staff, or multi-generational living.
Gardens and Grounds
The estate extends to approximately 54 acres of landscaped gardens, mature woodland, and a deer park, offering an exceptional level of privacy and natural beauty. The East Webburn River runs through the lower valley, flanked by wooded banks and two large ponds, creating a haven for wildlife including deer, raptors, mustelids, and native fish species. A further 8.77 acres are available by separate negotiation.
A productive orchard, kitchen garden with raised beds, and a Hampton Court greenhouse offer excellent lifestyle amenities, while the surrounding woodland—dating back to the 1860s—includes more than 1,000 mature trees such as Western Hemlocks, Douglas Firs, and Copper Beeches. In spring, the forest floor is carpeted with hundreds of thousands of bluebells. The deer park, established in 1995, is home to fallow and red deer and contributes to the estate's peaceful, parkland feel.
A site within the woods known as the “Judge and Jury Plantation” is thought to have served as a medieval meeting place, further enriching the estate's historical significance.
Outbuildings
Bagpark includes a range of practical and versatile outbuildings. An agricultural barn offers machinery storage, a cold room, and garaging/workshop areas. An oak-framed building houses a double garage and dedicated gym, while further outbuildings provide additional storage and utility options.
With its rich natural surroundings, heritage charm, and exceptional amenity, Bagpark represents a rare opportunity to acquire a complete country estate in Dartmoor, suitable for a private retreat, equestrian lifestyle, or multi-generational living.
Bagpark occupies an idyllic position within Dartmoor National Park, nestled in a peaceful valley along the East Webburn River. The property enjoys a remarkable sense of seclusion while remaining just one mile from the charming village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor, one of Dartmoor's most picturesque and popular destinations. Widecombe offers a range of local amenities including a village shop, two traditional pubs, and the much-loved Café on the Green, all set against the dramatic backdrop of Dartmoor's rolling hills.
Also nearby is the highly regarded Rugglestone Inn, a quintessential country pub known for its welcoming atmosphere, beautiful garden, and locally sourced menu—perfect for relaxed lunches after a day on the moor. The property enjoys direct access to Dartmoor's expansive moorland, with walking routes to iconic tors such as Chinkwell Tor and Honeybag Tor quite literally on the doorstep, making this an ideal base for walkers, riders, and nature lovers.
Despite its peaceful setting, Bagpark remains well connected. The nearby towns of Ashburton and Bovey Tracey provide a wider range of shops, cafés, and services, including the excellent Emilia's Italian in Ashburton, a favourite among locals. The A38 dual carriageway is easily accessible, offering swift access to both Exeter and Plymouth, each within comfortable driving distance.
For those needing fast connections to London and beyond, mainline rail services are available from Exeter, Newton Abbot, and Totnes, providing direct journeys to London Paddington in just over two and a half hours. The proximity to these transport hubs, combined with the unrivalled beauty of the location, makes Bagpark one of the most attractive country estates for sale in Devon, appealing to both permanent residents and those seeking a second home in the South West.
