DESCRIPTION Set within the iconic red-brick Devon Tors building, this delightful one-bedroom ground floor apartment combines period charm with modern convenience in the heart of Dartmoor National Park. Originally constructed in 1891 and later converted into a grand hotel, Devon Tors remains one of Yelverton's most distinctive landmarks, offering a unique lifestyle with open moorland just a short stroll away.

The property is ideally placed within walking distance of village amenities including a Co-op, post office, doctor's surgery, dentist, beauty salon, butcher and the popular Skylark Inn.

The apartment is approached via a communal entrance and opens into a spacious hallway-style vestibule with twin storage cupboards. Double doors lead to the generously sized bay-fronted living room, a light-filled space with high ceilings and a large square bay window. Adjoining the living room is a compact, open-plan kitchen. A comfortable double bedroom overlooks the communal gardens, and a separate bathroom completes the accommodation. In total, the property measures approximately 51.2 sq. m.

Modern benefits include PVC double glazing, gas central heating, an up-to-date gas safety certificate and ample parking. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, investors or those seeking a secure lock-up-and-leave bolthole in a thriving Dartmoor village. 

DARTMOOR NATIONAL PARK Dartmoor National Park is one of the UK's most treasured landscapes, covering over 368 square miles of rolling moorland, ancient woodland, granite tors and winding rivers. Renowned for its dramatic scenery and rich history, the park offers a lifestyle defined by outdoor adventure and natural beauty.

Residents and visitors alike enjoy walking, cycling, horse riding and wildlife watching, with miles of open access land to explore. Dartmoor is home to the famous Dartmoor ponies, prehistoric stone circles, medieval farmsteads and remnants of tin mining, giving the area a unique sense of timelessness.

Despite its wild and rugged charm, Dartmoor is exceptionally well connected. Picturesque villages such as Yelverton, Buckland Monachorum and Princetown provide a welcoming community spirit, with amenities including pubs, cafés and local shops. The market town of Tavistock lies on the western edge of the park, while Plymouth and the A38 are within easy reach for wider connections.

Life on Dartmoor combines the tranquillity of rural living with the convenience of nearby services, making it an exceptional place to call home for walkers, nature lovers, families and those seeking a slower pace of life in one of England's most inspiring landscapes.
