Situation: Little Brook is situated in the delightful small village of Buckland-In-The-Moor, in the heart of the East Dartmoor Countryside, approximately 3 miles to the west of the vibrant country town of Ashburton. The location is favoured for the peaceful rural setting and the range of mellow stone and thatch houses that typify this area of Dartmoor. The village has a charming church.

For the keen walker and rider, the area has a wide network of quiet country lanes and footpaths, which lead up to the rugged open expanse of the moor, which surround the wooded valley where Buckland is situated.

A wide range of amenities for day to day living will be found in Ashburton, approximately three miles to the east. Here there are a variety of interesting shops and business, places to eat and public houses. There are primary schools in Ashburton and Widecombe-In-The-Moor and a secondary school in Ashburton. The A38 Devon expressway has a direct link to Ashburton providing a fast route to Exeter to the North and Plymouth to the south, both approximately 20 miles way and as Devon's two principal cities and economic centres have an excellent range of modern facilities.

Description: Little Brook is a traditional Dartmoor house of stone construction under a thatch roof. The house is Grade II Listed as is thought to date from the late 17th to early 18th centuries. The house has many period features, which combine to create a warm and homely atmosphere, which is only found in houses of this type and period. There are modern updates, such as under floor heating in the kitchen and sitting room to supplement the large open fires in both of these rooms. Upstairs there are four bedrooms accessed from two staircases making the house suitable for bed and breakfast guests. In addition to the main house there's a studio or office in a detached stone barn adjacent to the house. Outside there are sunny gardens and a former vegetable garden awaiting cultivation.
