Moorland views and much, much more

Overlooking Haytor Vale and with views over Dartmoor and to the coast is this five-bedroom family home.

The appropriately-named The Moors in Haytor was built in 1934 by the current owner’s grandfather to his own specification, using reclaimed Dartmoor stone and Welsh slate. The house has been well maintained over the years and many of the original architectural features and fittings remain in situ, including the Art Deco fireplaces, several of which are tiled with tiles from the Candy Tile factory at Heathfield.

From the first floor front rooms there are panoramic views over the moor and on a clear day the coastline can also be seen. The large attic space on the second floor offers potential for a number of uses. The grounds are an undoubted feature of the property and extend to approximately 0.6 of an acre comprising extensive lawns, a small orchard and soft fruit area while to the side and rear of the house there is a detached garage and a number of useful outbuildings. Inside, double wooden doors open to the entrance porch and entrance vestibule. Downstairs is a cloakroom with wash basin and wc, entrance hall, 15ft drawing room with original Art Deco Candy tiled fireplace, a conservatory and dining room, which is currently used as a second sitting room. This also has an original brick fireplace and hearth with hardwood timber surround and Candy. At the far end of the entrance hall there is a door to a walk-in dairy/pantry and on the left a door into the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen area has a range of base and wall units with inset sink and space for a cooker. The breakfast area has a ‘Redfyre’ brick fireplace with tiled hearth, built in shelved crockery cupboard, serving hatch to hallway, arched doorway opening into the dairy/pantry. There is also a rear porch/boot room with a Belfast sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Upstairs are the five bedrooms, some with original fireplaces and views over the moor. The bathroom comprises a panelled bath, wash hand basin, and wc. The attic room, which measures 33ft by 15ft, has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and lends itself to a number of uses including a master suite, games room and home office.
