Nestled near the desirable village of Lustleigh, this charming detached cottage offers a rare opportunity for countryside living within the boundaries of the Dartmoor National Park. With a traditional stone & cob construction, a private garden fronting the meandering Wray Brook and a quite exceptional level of seclusion, the property exudes character and tranquillity.

It blends tranquil rural living with proximity to the picturesque village of Lustleigh and the broader Dartmoor countryside. A home that will reward those seeking character, nature, and peaceful private living — and who are ready to embrace the responsibilities and rewards of caring for an older property in this unique setting.

On entering the property

The front door leads into the entrance hall, with further doors into the charming lounge with exposed beams, garden views, and a cosy wood-burning stove and the other into the snug. The country-style kitchen with dining area leads to a useful rear lobby, while completing the ground floor is a convenient shower/utility room — ideal after Dartmoor walks.

The first floor

Offers two inviting bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys garden views and a peaceful, rustic cottage feel, while the second bedroom is another generous double with charming sloped ceilings. Completing the floor is a family bathroom with bath, WC and basin, providing comfortable accommodation for family or guests.
