Summary:

New 5 miles

Description:

Higher Stiniel is one of only five dwellings in the tiny hamlet of Stiniel 1.5 miles from the small country town of Chagford in the Dartmoor National Park. The house is a Grade II listed building which is recorded by Historic England as being of late 15th century to early 16th century origin, there is certainly evidence of the antiquity of the house in the features throughout, including cruck timbers in the main bedroom and the large axial chimney stack in the sitting room, which is believed to have been added in the house in the 16th century. The accommodation provides a warm and comfortable atmosphere, which is characteristic in buildings of this type. The main house is south facing, with large sash and leaded windows, allowing light to stream in, creating a wonderfully bright and airy interior. The property includes a range of interesting and useful outbuildings, two of which are thatched and listed in their own right as of historical interest. The buildings lend themselves to a variety of uses for storage, workspace, entertaining, small livestock or stables. The gardens are a particularly pleasing feature, full of colour with plenty of scope for the keen gardener to develop. The south-facing walled garden at the front of the farmhouse is an unusual and beautiful feature, with levelled lawn, mature shrubs, flowered boarders and rose beds. At the rear of the house is a further large, level lawn, interspersed with a number of large trees and shrubs including, Oak, Maple, Cedar, Apple, Rhododendrons, Hydrangea, providing a multitude of beautiful, sheltered areas to meander through and explore. The large barn at the rear of the property opens up to a sloping paddock (once a cider orchard), still with two old apple trees that continue to produce bountiful quantities of fruit each year. The land is perfect for the small-holder or for anyone with equestrian interests. The main house provides excellent accommodation. Still available at ListedBuy!
