"
Dunstone House is, at its heart, a medieval longhouse, which very likely replaced a much earlier dwelling. It has been extended and improved since, with a major refurbishment in 1911 that included the addition of a south east wing, and the property was enlarged once more in the 1990s with the addition of an annexe.

It has characterful and very flexible accommodation with two staircases, ideal as a large family home and for those wishing to utilise the annexe. The property s eco credentials have been improved in recent years with the installation of a wood pellet biomass heating hot water system, six hardwood double glazed windows, and an array of PV panels on the outbuilding together with a Tesla battery storage facility and an electric vehicle charging point.

The gardens and grounds provide a wonderful and private parkland setting with large expanses of sweeping lawn and an impressive range of mature trees and shrubs. There is direct access from the gardens to the organically managed, species rich dry and wet meadows which attract a variety of native wildlife. We understand that the property also benefits from common grazing rights.

Lower Dunstone is an ancient Dartmoor hamlet consisting of just a handful of dwellings positioned one mile south of the village of Widecombe in the Moor. There is a tiny green within the hamlet on which stands a medieval granite cross and a large cup marked granite boulder. Dunstone is one of the old manors of Widecombe and is listed in the Domesday Book.

There are unlimited opportunities for walking and riding literally on the doorstep, and the nearby village around a 15 minute walk has a traditional green, handful of shops, two inns, primary school, meeting hall and splendid church known locally as "The Cathedral of the Moor".

Dartmoor is a conservation area of outstanding natural beauty, with its rugged tors contrasted by sheltered combes, containing some of the most spectacular scenery within the whole of the West Country.

Although very much a rural community, Widecombe is a surprisingly accessible village, being just six miles west of Bovey Tracey and a similar distance north of Ashburton and the A38 Devon Expressway which provides a quick link to the cities of Plymouth in one direction, and Exeter and the M5 motorway in the other.
