Devon longhouse set within moorland location


Routrundle – Guide Price £625,000


Sheltered in a gentle fold on the Dartmoor landscape, this unique, south-facing Devon longhouse sits below Ingra Tor in a truly dramatic setting. This ancient Devon Longhouse is constructed of stone beneath a slate roof, dating back to 1866 although there is documentary reference to the property going as far back as 1417. Here lies the rare opportunity for someone to live completely off grid whilst owning their very own piece of Dartmoor. Its name derives from the round 'trundles' or pounds on either side of Routrundle Lane. The property is completely self-sufficient and is the furthest farm seen from Horn Hill.


potenal for self-contained annexe


The accommodation comprises open-plan kitchen/diner. In the dining area there is an Inglenook fireplace housing multi fuel wood burner with slate hearth and granite surround, beamed ceilings and flagstone slate floors. The dual-aspect kitchen area comprises a comprehensive range of wall and base units with worktop over and tiled splash back, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, window seat. Space for Rayburn oil-fired cooker. Door opening into snug which could be adapted into a self-contained annexe with staircase leading to a master bedroom and en-suite shower room, built-in wardrobe and access into the loft. From the other side of the kitchen, a door leads to an inner hall with access to a shower room comprising a pedestal wash-hand basin, mains-fed shower and enclosed-cistern, close-coupled WC. The triple-aspect sitting room has a staircase rising to the first floor and double doors opening into an office/reading room with Velux windows.


The first floor has a large vaulted, galleried landing area which would lend itself to a variety of uses. Four bedrooms and a family bathroom, comprising close-coupled WC, pedestal wash-hand basin, wood panel- enclosed Jacuzzi bath, heated towel rail.


Nestled in a sheltered fold, the gardens enjoy southerly and westerly aspects with a microclimate which allows the cultivation of flowers, trees and shrubs providing a soft and pleasant environment for such a moorland location. The private driveway provides ample level parking. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn and provides wooded and natural areas. Beyond the gardens lies a former paddock which has not been cultivated for many years but could, with some good husbandry, be reinstated. On the northern boundary lies the generator house. At the end of the drive, to the left-hand side, there is a paddock enclosed by a mixture of stone walling and fencing. Secondary access is via a five-bar wooden gate from the rear garden onto the lane. Some stunning views over Dartmoor are on offer in all directions.
