The property
Yelverton 1.7 miles. The Barn at Yeoland House is a stunning 17th-century converted barn, nestled off a wooded lane just 500 yards from the golf club. It sits within the extensive grounds and gardens of the owners’ friendly farmhouse in Yelverton, Devon. With a woodburning stove, a pet-friendly policy, and countryside surroundings, this wonderful abode welcomes families and friends, idyllic for a rural retreat in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park. This detached cottage features private access and parking, with a gravel path leading through a charming flower and shrub garden to ten steps that ascend to a raised, unfenced garden (use caution). A further eight uneven steps lead down to the entrance. A paddock is available for walking dogs, and there is storage for bicycles. Inside, the cottage combines simplicity with sophistication, featuring limestone floors downstairs and wood flooring upstairs. The spacious, light-filled, open-plan living/dining/kitchen area is well-appointed with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric oven, and induction hob, all housed in handcrafted cupboards. The space also includes a woodburning stove, a TV with a Blu-ray player, and glazed double doors on either side—one offering views of the garden and the other opening onto a patio/decked area with lovely, long, wooded rural views. From the living area, two staircases lead to different parts of the home: one ascends to a mezzanine single bedroom with a table football and games, while the other descends to two additional bedrooms. These include a king-size bedroom with storage and TV and a king-size (zip/link) bedroom with storage. The lower-ground-floor level also features a beautifully-presented bathroom with a roll-top, freestanding bath and a walk-in shower, a utility room (with a washing machine and tumble dryer) that opens to a garden via eight steps, and a small shower room with a corner walk-in shower. The cottage sleeps a maximum of four adults and one child. Brilliantly designed, it is highly recommended and conveniently located near excellent cycling routes and walking paths. Yelverton situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of Dartmoor, offers churches, pubs, shops, a post office, golf, tennis/badminton, and horse riding. Nearby attractions include the 13th-century Buckland Abbey, once home to Sir Francis Drake (now managed by the National Trust), and the enchanting Garden House gardens, both within 2 miles. Tavistock is a short drive away, while Plymouth, with its theatres, cinemas, shops, aquarium, watersports, and National Trust property Saltram House, is just a little further. The Barn at Yeoland House, your perfect countryside sanctuary.
