Description – Moorland House is an elegant detached Edwardian residence distinguished by its attractive slate-clad exterior. Offering spacious and versatile

accommodation throughout, the property is ideally suited to family living, with generous reception areas and extensive grounds that take full advantage of the

beautiful Dartmoor environment.

The house has been carefully updated over the years while retaining much of its original charm and period detailing, including feature fireplaces, traditional tiled

floors, and bay windows.

Accommodation – The ground floor is arranged around three principal reception rooms, currently used as a sitting room, drawing room, and dining room. The sitting room and drawing room are both positioned at the front of the house and benefit from excellent natural light, feature fireplaces with marble surrounds, and well-proportioned interiors.

The sitting room includes a striking period bay

window, while the drawing room connects directly to a separate garden room.

Located towards the rear of the property, the dining room features a former stove

fireplace as its focal point. From here, steps descend into the kitchen, which is

fitted in a farmhouse style with cream-coloured wall and base units, granite-effect work surfaces, an integrated fridge, and space suitable for a range cooker. The kitchen overlooks the gardens and surrounding countryside, creating an

attractive rural outlook. The ground floor also benefits from a utility room and a family bathroom equipped with a bath and overhead shower, wash basin, and

WC.

On the first floor are four generously sized double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom enjoys a front-facing position with dual-aspect views across neighbouring farmland, together with extensive fitted storage. The landing also

provides loft access and leads to the family bathroom, which is fitted with a bath and shower over, wash basin, and WC.

Outside – The property is approached via a five-bar gate set back from the lane, opening onto a spacious driveway with ample parking and turning space for

multiple vehicles. A garage with power and lighting is situated to the right-hand side of the entrance, while a separate timber outbuilding also benefits from

electricity and water connections. The gardens are a particular feature of the property and include an established apple orchard with numerous productive fruit trees. There are raised beds for vegetable growing, and the orchard is bordered by mature natural hedging, making it well suited to small-scale gardening or keeping poultry.

Beside the house is a paved terrace with a pond, providing an ideal outdoor seating area.

Pathways bordered by colourful planting and additional seating spaces extend around the property, with a pedestrian gate giving access back to the lane.

Services – Connected to mains electricity, water, and drainage.

Heating is provided via an oil-fired central heating system.
