There is evidence that the site may have been populated by Stone Age men as Standing Stones, Hut Circles, and Kistvaens are all around. The house was thatched until 1970 but due to its poor condition it was replaced with Stone Ground tiles designed to match the colour and shape of the thatched roof complete with 'eyebrows' over the leaded light windows.
Access is via a Private road which leads into a forecourt providing parking spaces for vehicles.
The main entrance hall is dominated by a carved oak fire place and wood burning stove, Oaken beams and ceilings immediately give a feeling of security, warmth, and welcome. The sitting room affords ample seating in front of an open fireplace and has views over the fields and gardens beyond. Bookshelves contain many books on Dartmoor both past and present together with many other subjects of interests. French windows allow easy access to the gardens, the East Dart River, and the open moorland. The morning room is equipped with comfortable Windsor chairs surrounding a pine table, where typical and substantial English Breakfasts are served.
