SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
An historic residence on the edge of the moors and now extended creating a unique Dartmoor retreat. This single-story dwelling has been extensively refurbished by the present owners creating a lovely home with character and contemporary living areas.
The Old Halt is situated at the top of the road in a quiet location and is set on a private plot, just over 1/3 acre featuring Devon dry stone walls, having two boundaries to the park and a private woodland to the west and north. The original part of the house was built sometime in the mid 1800’s being part of the horse drawn tramway ferrying granite and iron ore from the local quarries on Dartmoor to London and beyond.
The property has three receptions, a cosy sitting room with wood burner, a reception dining room and an open plan kitchen living room with doors to the garden, views to the moor and a further wood burning stove. There is a home office with views over the woodland and a further studio/office in the garden.

The three bedrooms are at the far end of the home, the main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobes for convenience. Outside, the property is approached from a gated stone chipped driveway which sweeps past the dwelling to the garage and parking area. The gardens are mainly level with attractive flowers and shrubs. At the bottom of the garden is a vista of distant views over the surrounding landscape which is a perfect place to sit and relax. Further to the garage and studio is a series of useful sheds and covered stores, ideal for a garden of this size. There is a seating terrace next to
the living room double doors, which is great for entertaining and enjoying the surroundings. The moors are on the doorstep with Dartmoor ponies wandering past the boundary most days. The lifestyle this property provides makes it incredibly desirable to those who enjoy outdoor activities and a sense of space. Burrator reservoir is just a short walk away, offering stunning beauty and amazing walks. The property is near great country pubs and the village amenities of Yelverton.
