SITUATION Old Langworthy Farm is situated in an elevated spot in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park, approximately two miles from the picturesque village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor. Widecombe is famous for its annual fair and there are several shops, post office, two pubs, church and a primary school. The village is renowned for its spectacular scenery including open moorland, ancient tors and wooded valleys bisected by numerous rivers and streams.
  The A38 Devon Expressway lies nine miles to the south with easy access to Plymouth in the south and the university and cathedral city of Exeter in the north. Exeter has a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities befitting a centre of its importance including excellent shopping, dining, theatre and recreational pursuits. It also has two mainline railway stations to London Waterloo and Paddington. Exeter International Airport lies about four miles east of the city. There is also some excellent schooling in the area.
  Due to its position upon the moor, there are many thousands of unspoilt moorland acres in which to enjoy a range of outdoor pursuits including walking, riding, cycling and fishing. The property also has direct outriding access onto the moor. DESCRIPTION Old Langworthy Farm is a Grade II Listed property which is believed to date back to the mid-16th Century. Of stone elevations under a tiled roof, the current owners have undertaken a comprehensive and impressive schedule of upgrade and enlargement and the property is presented extremely well throughout. Notwithstanding this, it enjoys an abundance of character features, including much exposed Dartmoor granite stonework, granite fireplaces, window seats and much exposed timberwork. It offers spacious and versatile accommodation of well over 3,000 sq.ft., including a self-contained, attached two bedroom annexe which would suit those seeking multi-generational living, or indeed those who require an income stream. THE HOUSE Covered porch with front door (rarely used) leads into the dining room which has a lovely Dartmoor granite fireplace. The sitting room has a similar fireplace with inset woodburner and exposed ceiling beams. The modern fitted kitchen has a range of integral appliances as well as gas-fired Aga and central island. This leads through to the newly constructed, oak-framed conservatory which enjoys some splendid views. Of further note on the ground floor is a large laundry room with rear door to garden.
  On the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are good sized doubles. The master bedroom is triple aspect and enjoys some stunning views with high vaulted ceiling and a modern four-piece en suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle, bath, wc and wash basin. The second bedroom similarly has an en suite bathroom and there is a separate shower room with large shower cubicle, wc and wash basin. On the second floor are two further bedrooms, which can ideally be used as office or playrooms. SELF-CONTAINED ANNEXE Although accessed from the main house it has its own separate entrances with lovely living room with vaulted ceiling, granite stone floor with woodburner. The kitchen is fitted with a range of appliances. Two steps lead down to a snug/office off which is the bathroom. Also on the ground floor of the annexe is a small bedroom with steps leading up from the sitting room to a mezzanine area with large double bedroom. THE GROUNDS The property is approached via wooden gates to a long sweeping gravel drive, with large car parking area. The drive sweeps round to the rear of the property to a triple car port and parking area. Lawns surround the property and to the southern side is a detached stone and thatched roof barn which is currently split into four distinct areas, one of which has a mezzanine floor. These could be suitable for a number of purposes, subject to planning. There are also two large outbuildings/workshops, one of which was formerly a 3-box stable which could easily be reinstated. There is also a further barn suitable for stabling,
storage or garaging.
  The remainder of the land comprises a number of, in parts level and in parts sloping, paddocks as well as several wooded areas. The property has direct access from 2 points onto the moor and is ideal for those with equestrian interests. Due to its position there are some simply stunning views of the surrounding Dartmoor countryside from both the gardens and many of the rooms in the house. As a freeholder, the owner has the right to graze stock and other animals on the moor.
