DESCRIPTION Pinmoor Farm comprises a secluded Dartmoor farm of 43 acres with excellent equestrian appeal and much potential, subject to planning. The South facing period Farmhouse comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three reception rooms and enjoys views to Mardon Down.
Believed to date from the late 1800's ( likely replacing earlier buildings) when it formed part of the North Bovey Estate. The original double fronted farmhouse has been extended, creating a superb family home. At the rear of the house is an enclosed yard of stone buildings on four ranges, providing stabling and storage. The range attached to the house has been developed into a modern annexe, used as ancillary accommodation. The remaining stone buildings offer scope for further development, subject to planning permission.
THE HOUSE The shared private drive leads around to the rear of the house bringing you into the courtyard of buildings. A front door takes you in to the entrance porch with glazed door opening into the hallway with staircase to first floor.

The buildings are of local granite stone with brick quoins and natural slate roofs. These lie on three sides of the courtyard with the fourth side having been converted to the annexe referred to above.
