2 HIGHER STINIEL CHAGFORD, DEVON, TQ13 8EL Chagford 1.5 Miles - Exeter 23 Miles (via A30) or 18 Miles (via Moretonhampstead) Approximate Distances Description: Higher Stiniel is one of only five dwellings in the tiny hamlet of Stiniel 1.5 miles from the small country town of Chagford in the Dartmoor National Park. The house is a Grade II listed building which is recorded by Historic England as being of late 15 th Century to early 16 th Century origin, there is certainly evidence of the antiquity of the house in the features throughout, including cruck timbers in the main bedroom and the large axial chimney stack in the sitting room, which is believed to have been added in the house in the 16 th Century. The accommodation provides a warm and comfortable atmosphere, which is only found in buildings of this type. The property includes a range of interesting and useful outbuildings, two of which are thatched and listed in their own right as of historical interest. The buildings lend themselves to a variety of uses for storage, workspace, poultry, small livestock or stables. The gardens are a particularly pleasing feature, full of colour with plenty of scope for the keen gardener to develop. The south facing walled garden at the front of the farmhouse is an unusual feature and has the makings of a sheltered country garden. At the rear of the house and buildings is a paddock (once a cider orchard) which provides grazing and amenity to the property. The further land lots surround the property and are perfect for the small-holder or for anyone with equestrian interests. Situation Stiniel is an exceptionally picturesque Dartmoor hamlet (Historic England) with quintessential Dartmoor buildings of granite with either slate or thatch roofs, positioned in a small valley approximately 1.5 miles from the equally attractive small country town of Chagford, with its mix of interesting period buildings centred on the town square. Amenities within the town include shops, pubs and restaurants, doctor, dentist, vets and primary school including a Montessori pre-school. There is an active community with many social and leisure opportunities and clubs for sporting activities including football, cricket, tennis, bowls and a well renowned seasonal open air swimming pool. The city of Exeter is approximately 23 miles away. Exeter is a modern, provincial city with excellent facilities including first class shopping, schools, hospitals, university, mainline railway station and links to the M5 motorway network and airport. The countryside surrounding Stiniel includes rolling farmland, which leads to the high moor. For the keen walker and rider there is much of interest in the network of quiet lanes, footpaths and bridleways to be found in the area.

Higher Stiniel is unusual in the range of buildings surrounding the house, in the main they have been relatively unspoiled, two are thatched and Grade II Listed independent of the house and most are constructed of the same Dartmoor granite, creating a picturesque grouping. The gardens are mostly to the south (the walled garden) and to the east of the house, with a courtyard style garden at the rear of the dwelling, between it and the barn. The front walled garden is level and edged with colourful roses and shrubs. The garden to the east features neat lawns and specimen trees. To the north of the largest barn is a paddock for grazing and amenity. It is understood that this area contained a cider orchard and there are a handful of ancient apple trees still growing. The hedge banks which enclose the field have some fine mature trees, which all add to the ambience of the property. The house, buildings and field form Lot 1 of the sale and extend to approximately 3 acres (1.21ha). There are further land lots available detailed overleaf.
