Rare Development Opportunity Or Lifestyle Retreat Near Dartmoor
Set within approximately 10–11 acres of private grounds on the edge of Dartmoor, this unique smallholding offers outstanding potential for residential development or a high-income lifestyle business.

The property features a spacious Devon longhouse with eight bedrooms (six en suite), seven offices, and multiple reception rooms – including areas with open fireplaces. Added to this are four substantial outbuildings, a self-contained one-bedroom cottage, a summerhouse, and an indoor swimming pool with sauna. The site has previously served as a veterinary clinic, office complex, and residential retreat.

Located near the charming village of Brenton and just a short drive from the sought-after market town of Tavistock, the property provides excellent access to Devon and Cornwall. The Ocean City of Plymouth and the Cathedral City of Exeter – with international transport links – are within easy reach.

This is a prime investment for developers, with Dartmoor National Park Authority expressing informal support for the development of 10–12 dwellings (subject to planning). The extensive outbuildings also present ideal opportunities for conversion into holiday lets, wellness retreats, or further residential use.

The current owners are open to a sale subject to change of use, and early viewing is strongly advised to appreciate the scope of this property.
