Crows Nest Sticklepath Dartmoor National Park Devon EX20 2PS

Crows Nest enjoys a spectacular setting 900 feet above sea level on Dartmoor’s northern flank, with fine views over the Devon countryside. The house, which is approached via a roughsingle track private road, stands in mature gardens with adjoining broadleaf woodland with approximately 12 ½ acres of pasture and paddocks enclosed by traditional granite dry stonewalls. The property was previously run as a Riding School and there is a substantial stable yard which includes an indoor school, 14 loose boxes, 2 foaling boxes, and self-containedgroom’s accommodation. A planning consent, now lapsed, provided permission to build a replacement dwelling to the existing house which was to be situated on the ménage whichadjoins the stable yard.

Some of the appointments and also the outbuildings themselves are somewhat dated, and the whole property offers tremendous scope for those seeking to create a home to their ownspecification in a magnificent setting.

The existing house dates from the 1930’s and is of a timber construction and provides versatile accommodation over two floors. This benefits from oil fired central heating and includes 4bedrooms, a spacious lounge/dining room with a cosy woodburner, a study, a snug/additional sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired rayburn, utility room, a bathroom anda shower room. A verandah is accessed via the hall and commands pleasant views over the stream to the woodland beyond. Beneath the house is a cellar which is accessed from thegarden and provides additional storage.

Crows Nest represents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an equestrian property or smallholding on the edge of the open moor. Potential purchasers will also be drawn to the veryclear potential to create a spectacular ‘Grand Design’ home within the National Park.

Despite the wonderful rural setting Crows Nest is actually within relatively easy reach of local amenities. The villages of Sticklepath, South Zeal and South Tawton include facilities suchas a local shop, public houses and a primary school. The market town of Okehampton lies 4 miles to the west and offers a wide range of shops and busineses which includesupermarkets (Waitrose, Lidl and Co-Op), primary and secondary schools, a community hospital, a leisure centre, and various sports clubs which include golf, cricket, football, rugby, andsquash. The cathedral and university city of Exeter lies approximately 18 miles to the east and is about a 30 minute drive away via the A30 dual carriageway.
