These particulars are intended only as a guide and must not be relied upon as statements of fact. Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text. Yarde was completely restored approximately 20 years ago and upgraded recently. It now combines the granite walls, slate roof and huge inglenook fireplaces of a traditional Dartmoor farmhouse with the convenience of a modern home – underfloor heating, cavity walls, double glazing and excellent ceiling height. The footprint has been very little altered from the original house of the late 1500’s and wonderful character is retained throughout.

From the entrance porch, a large and impressive double height entrance hall leads on to the stunning dining room and drawing room, both of which boast a wealth of period features. On the opposite side of the hall is the sitting room, currently used as a TV room, with double doors to the pretty front garden.

The kitchen overlooks the courtyard garden and is fitted with bespoke units, granite worktops, Neff appliances and a gas hob. There is a breakfast area and space for armchairs. Planning permission exists to extend the kitchen along its full length into the courtyard. Across the hall is a cloakroom and a useful boot room.

A door from the kitchen leads through the useful study to the delightful Vale garden room, with its exposed granite walls and double doors to the courtyard. There is also access to two further charming double bedrooms plus a shower room, which could be adapted for independent living or as a home workspace.

The first floor is approached via an impressive staircase leading to a gallery and two excellent en suite bedrooms, both of which have vaulted ceilings, fine exposed beams and plenty of storage. There is also a further good sized double bedroom and a family bathroom. Gardens and Grounds The property is approached via an electric gate and has a wonderful sense of arrival with open lawns and views across its own land to the countryside and to Bovey Castle. The house is accessed via a courtyard garden, ideal for alfresco dining. There is a large double garage with electric doors as well as a paddock and pasture for horses.
