This charming detached cottage offers a rare opportunity for countryside living within the boundaries of the Dartmoor National Park. With a traditional stone & cob construction, a private garden fronting the meandering Wray Brook and a quite exceptional level of seclusion, the property exudes character and tranquillity.
The property
A rare and characterful offering: a traditional Devon cottage with two bedrooms, set in superb seclusion by a brook, with a generous garden. It blends tranquil rural living with proximity to the picturesque village of Lustleigh and the broader Dartmoor countryside. A home that will reward those seeking character, nature, and peaceful private living — and who are ready to embrace the responsibilities and rewards of caring for an older property in this unique setting.
On entering the property
The front door leads into the entrance hall, with further doors into the charming lounge with exposed beams, garden views, and a cosy wood-burning stove and the other into the snug. The country-style kitchen with dining area leads to a useful rear lobby, while completing the ground floor is a convenient shower/utility room — ideal after Dartmoor walks.
The first floor
Offers two inviting bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys garden views and a peaceful, rustic cottage feel, while the second bedroom is another generous double with charming sloped ceilings. Completing the floor is a family bathroom with bath, WC and basin, providing comfortable accommodation for family or guests.
The outside
The property sits within just under a 1/3 of an acre of beautiful cottage gardens, offering a private setting with no immediate neighbours and charming riverside frontage onto the Wray Brook. A driveway behind a five-bar gate provides parking for several vehicles.
Location
Lustleigh is a highly regarded village, frequently cited for its beauty and village life appeal. For those seeking easy access to countryside walks, woodland, riverside rambles, and local village amenities (pub, tea rooms, village dairy/shop & post office) this property offers an excellent base. The location also connects to nearby towns (such as Bovey Tracey) and major road links like the A38 — enhancing convenience without losing the rural charm.
