Occupying a lovely rural hamlet setting, One North Harton Cottages is an extremely characterful former farmhouse with origins dating back to the 17th/early 18th century. A Grade II listed building, it is attached at right-angles on the north-west corner to another dwelling which forms part of the small cluster of properties that make up North Harton - set back from the lane via a shared track.
The accommodation includes two reception rooms each with cosy wood-burners and the central kitchen-diner has an ESSE multi-fuel stove for cooking and hot water. The ground floor has attractively tiled floors and some rooms feature exposed woodwork.
There are four first floor bedrooms served by a ground floor bathroom plus consent has been granted to install a shower room/WC on the first floor.
Outside, adjoining the front and side of the cottage is a pretty south-facing cottage garden - a tranquil space for relaxation, whilst a little further along the track lies a further garden/orchard with greenhouse and plenty of space for growing vegetables or keeping a few chickens. Towards the upper end of the orchard stands an excellent stone/block-built outbuilding with workshop and studio-style space.
The gardens are a haven for Dartmoor birdlife and wildlife.
North Harton is situated around 2.5 miles north-east of Lustleigh Village and close to Lustleigh Cleave with scenic walks on the very doorstep. Lustleigh, arguably Dartmoor's prettiest village, has a shop/post office, pub, tea rooms, meeting hall, pre-school and church. The towns of Moretonhampstead and Bovey Tracey are each around 15 minutes' drive and offer a selection of everyday shops and amenities including primary schools, doctor's surgeries, a Co-op store in Moretonhampstead and a Lidl supermarket in Bovey Tracey.
One North Harton Cottages has been a well-loved family home for our vendor clients for almost 20 years and we would encourage a physical viewing in order to appreciate the ambience of this one-off historic Dartmoor dwelling.
