Lovaton, Yelverton, PL20 6PT

Spacious 4-Bedroom Detached Home in Rural Lovaton

Accommodation:

Built in approximately 1860, Lovaton Farm House has been part of the same family for 100 years and is now coming to market for the first time in a century. This charming four-bedroom farmhouse is nestled in the idyllic hamlet of Lovaton, in the Dartmoor National Park. The well-proportioned detached home offers flexible and versatile living across two floors—ideal for families or multi-generational living.

The ground floor features a bright and spacious kitchen/breakfast room, showcasing the original granite fireplace. Historically this room once formed part of the old pantry (or dairy) used for keeping milk cool. A large living room, with wonderful views of the garden and the original flagstone flooring under the carpet, provides the ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. A cosy snug/dining room with patio doors opens out to the garden, creating an inviting space for indoor-outdoor living. A ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room offers excellent potential for guest accommodation or multi-generational living. 

Upstairs, you’ll find three further double bedrooms, including a generous master bedroom with lovely views of the surrounding countryside and its own en-suite shower room. A family bathroom, and a central landing featuring the original boxed-in staircase—full of character and charm.

Gardens & Outside Space:

Set on a 0.5-acre plot, the property enjoys a delightful mature garden filled with a variety of shrubs and bushes, with Lovaton Brook running along the bottom. The home benefits from ample off-road parking and a double garage/workshop providing great extra space, all within a tranquil rural setting with picturesque countryside views.
