SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A magnificent Medieval Hall House built in the early 14th century which has received an award and several magazine articles, in Devon Life, Western Morning News and Crumbs Magazine for impeccable restoration and alterations, perfectly located in a small tranquil village in the Dartmoor National Park.
The property has completed a circle of history and uncovered and restored the past, without cutting any corners, while still providing an incredible modern interior and comfortable home. The restoration, which combined Staddon’s House and Staddon’s Cottage into one dwelling, completely overhauled the property bringing it back into this century with new heating systems including underfloor, wiring, insulation measures and a warming wood burner and fireplace for the winter months. This Grade II attached house is arguably the oldest in the village of Walkhampton and offers a wealth of historical importance which has had many archaeologists and architects marvelling.
The attractive gardens back into open countryside and are approximately 0.25 of an acre, extending to a large gated parking area for several vehicles, along with hard standing for motorhomes, boats etc. The private and sunny gardens also offer a stone barn which is now a workshop and garden/log store with mains power, Greenhouse, plus a separate Garden Office.
A slate chipping path meanders through the grounds flanked by attractive planting, four raised vegetable beds and fruit trees. There are areas of lawns with seating and a courtyard along the rear elevation and a side path which leads back to the lane. There are lovely views across the surrounding countryside from the garden including the local church on the hill.
Particular features include a main reception/dining room which honours a Grand Medieval fireplace, which was uncovered during the works and lumps of granite on a fireplace in the bedroom were later exposed and confirmed as Medieval candle sconces. One of the most exciting discoveries for the owners was a medieval beam in the roof space tarred with soot and now beautifully visual on the light airy landing space. There are also a series of original stone staircases dating back hundreds of years along with a contemporary glazed stairwell in the entrance hall which is the focus of the room leading up to the first floor.
Other features include a wonderful, vaulted kitchen which has handmade cupboards, light zinc worktops bespoke for the space, a Lacanche five ring gas burner and a limestone floor with water based underfloor heating. The light kitchen area opens to a utility space with a solid stone butlers sink and storage areas for utilities.
There are two entrances at the front, so the house is perfect for a degree of separate living, small annex, holiday rental or home office for clients etc. The accommodation comprises entrance hall, sitting room, open plan living/dining room opening to the kitchen/breakfast room and utility room, snug/home office which is used as an occasional bedroom which leads to the side hall and shower room with Basalt and underfloor electric heating. To the first floor is a vaulted landing with exposed rafters, principle bedroom with en-suite shower room which has stone veneer on the walls and floor, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with original handmade Moroccan encaustic tiled floor and roll top bath.
The property is a short walk from the small primary school and local pub called the Walkhampton Inn, there is also a Saturday market for local produce. The open moors are at the end of the lane that the house is sited and very much walkable for outdoor pursuits. Yelverton village is under 5 mins drive and offers a multitude of shops and amenities. Tavistock and Plymouth are also not far and within 20-minute drive and Exeter around 45 mins.
