Description

Nestled in a private setting near the Dartmoor village of Brentor, this traditional three-bedroom farmhouse provides a solid foundation for those seeking a home with significant renovation and investment potential. The property spans approximately 49.20 acres of diverse land, including south-facing pastures and woodland, and offers scenic views of the surrounding West Devon countryside, particularly towards the iconic Brent Tor. The farmhouse is constructed from local stone, featuring part vertical slate elevations and UPVC windows under a slate roof. Inside, the layout includes a cozy sitting room with bespoke bookshelves, a snug with a wood-burning stove, and a kitchen/breakfast area complete with an Aga and ample storage. French doors lead from the kitchen to the garden, enhancing indoor-outdoor flow. The first floor accommodates three spacious double bedrooms and a bathroom, while an attic space—currently unregulated—offers additional possibilities for expansion. The property is complemented by various outbuildings that present further opportunities for development or alternative uses (subject to planning permission). A stone barn currently serves as a workshop, while modern agricultural structures include a large steel-framed building designed for livestock. The stable block features five stables on a concrete base along with additional feed and tack rooms. Surrounding the farmhouse are well-maintained gardens with mature trees, flower beds on multiple levels, and practical features such as a greenhouse and pump house. With its combination of residential comfort and agricultural facilities, Whitstone Farm is well-suited for equestrian interests or small-scale farming. In terms of location benefits, Whitstone Farm enjoys accessibility to recreational amenities in Tavistock—only 4.5 miles away—and convenient transport links to Plymouth (20 miles) and Exeter (36 miles), which provide broader connectivity across the UK. This property represents not just a charming rural residence but also an exceptional investment opportunity for those looking to make their mark through thoughtful renovation or repurposing of existing structures. With its unique blend of privacy, space, and potential for further development in an attractive rural area, Whitstone Farm invites exploration into its many possibilities.
