LOCATION
Tucked away along a quiet country lane just outside the charming village of Drewsteignton, Burrows Farmhouse enjoys a truly idyllic position on the north-eastern fringe of Dartmoor. Surrounded by gently undulating pastureland, wooded combes, and dramatic moorland, the property offers a rare sense of peace and privacy—yet remains within easy reach of local amenities and road links. A public footpath leads for just over a mile from the farm through the fields to Drewsteignton, which offers a good local shop, well regarded pub, The Drewe Arms, and a post office. Further afield, the historic market town of Chagford—often voted one of the best places to live in the UK—is just over 5 miles, offering independent shops, galleries, cafes, and access to some of Dartmoor’s most treasured walking routes.

Nearby attractions include Castle Drogo, the last castle built in England, perched above the dramatic Teign Gorge—a favourite with National Trust members and walkers, and Fingle Bridge, an iconic stone bridge spanning the river Teign, with idyllic riverside walks, wild swimming spots, and the popular Fingle Bridge Inn (about 1.5 miles).

There is excellent road access to the A30, which connects the cathedral city of Exeter (about 14 miles) and the M5. Exeter offers a mainline rail station providing regular access to London Paddington in just over two hours, and an international airport.

BURROW FARMHOUSE
Burrow Farm is an unlisted 16th century Devon Farmhouse which has been sympathetically and fully refurbished to a very high standard. Works include new wiring and plumbing, new windows/doors, new ridges to the thatch for both house and cottage, and general renovation throughout. The accommodation is beautifully presented and the attention to detail is visible at every turn.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming and generous cross-passage entrance hall, which sets the tone for the rest of the house. The bespoke handcrafted kitchen is beautifully fitted with a good range of units, and appliances include an electric Aga, four ring gas hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and American style fridge freezer. An impressive inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, and exposed stone floor, complete this room beautifully. The kitchen is complemented with a walk-in pantry and utility room, as well as a boot room. Beyond the kitchen is a sitting room, again with an inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove, and from this room a circular back staircase rises to the first floor. There are a further two reception rooms, a drawing room, featuring a circular shaped inglenook fireplace with a copper hood, and a study.

The first floor is also approached via the main staircase, which opens to a spacious landing providing access to three double bedrooms and a family shower room. The main bedroom features a dressing room and an en suite shower room. The circular staircase from the sitting room rises to a fourth bedroom, again with en suite. The landing has been divided, but could be opened up again, creating access to all four bedrooms off the main landing.

BURROW COTTAGE
The cottage has been upgraded and renovated to the same standard as the farmhouse and offers superb self-contained accommodation. The ground floor comprises a sitting room and well-appointed kitchen, with a boiler/utility room, and the first floor offers two bedrooms and a shower room. The cottage benefits from its own private garden and parking.

OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds wrap around the house and cottage, and include a small lake, lawned areas, a kitchen garden with a polytunnel, and a south-facing enclosed and partially walled garden. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and well established, with a good variety of shrubs, trees and plants.

The land is pasture and woodland and extends to just over 14 acres. The range of outbuildings is extensive and include a two storey barn, a former cow shed, stone outbuildings a traditional hardstanding yard.

There is a further 30 acres available by separate negotiation. The land is currently let on a short-term grazing agreement. Part of the land is registered for the Single Payment Scheme.

DIRECTIONS (EX6 6PT)
From Exeter and the M5 follow the A30 in an easterly direction towards Okehampton. Take the Woodleigh Junction to Cheriton Bishop and continue along this road into Crockenwell. As you leave the village turn left towards Drewsteignton. Follow this lane down to the bottom of the hill turning left to Fingle Bridge. Continue for about 0.5 mile following it around sharply to the right. Immediately ahead of you, before the road turns sharp left, you will see the entrance straight ahead of you to Burrow Farm.
