Nestled on the outskirts of Dartmoor National Park, Five Cross Cottage presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a serene country lifestyle with significant potential for development. This property is set on a generous 1.90-acre plot, offering picturesque views and a blend of traditional cottage charm alongside modern equestrian facilities. A major highlight is the converted hayloft, currently operating as a popular holiday let, complete with appealing amenities such as a wood-fired hot tub.
The interior of the cottage, dating back to the early 1900s, features welcoming spaces including a central hallway leading to a large kitchen and breakfast area. The conservatory invites ample natural light and views of the outdoor space. With four bedrooms upstairs—two doubles (one en-suite) and two singles—and an additional family bathroom, the layout supports comfortable family living.
The expansive grounds allow for various uses with lawns, vegetable beds, and mature trees surrounding the home, complemented by a substantial stable block that offers three loose boxes along with an adjoining garage and workshop.
With planning permission already in place for an ambitious extension designed by Vessel Architects, future owners can increase living space by 69%. This proposed development includes adding a master suite on the first floor and creating multi-generational living areas along with an inside-outside kitchen that opens to a spacious south-facing terrace.
Located conveniently close to community amenities in Ilsington and just a short drive from larger towns like Bovey Tracey and Newton Abbot, this property captures both rural tranquility and accessibility. It serves not only as a residence but also as an investment opportunity with immediate rental potential from The Hayloft and future growth via planned enhancements.
