The Shippon – Higher Manor

Tavistock

Areas Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Dartmoor, Devon, South West England

Escape to this charming property set in a peaceful rural hamlet at the foot of Dartmoor’s White Tor, where miles of scenic walking routes begin right from your doorstep. Despite its tranquil setting, you’re just 4 miles from the vibrant town of Tavistock with its farmers’ market, boutique shops, bistros, pubs, and cafés. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to Dartmoor and the nearby Devon Cycle Network, which connects all the way to Plymouth. Its central Devon location also makes exploring Cornwall’s north and south coasts easy, from the fishing village of Looe to Tintagel and Boscastle. Other nearby highlights include Buckland Abbey (10 miles), Saltram (18.5 miles), and Lydford Gorge (9.5 miles).

Inside, the spacious two-storey property feels bright and airy. The kitchen/diner offers plenty of space for leisurely breakfasts or trying new recipes to enjoy around the dining table. Up two steps is the cosy lounge, ideal for relaxing with a film and a glass of wine. Upstairs, the beautiful mezzanine bedroom features a four-poster super-king-size bed and an en-suite shower room with WC. A snug area overlooking the living space provides the perfect reading nook.

Outside, enjoy your own small private seating area, as well as access to a shared 1-acre garden with outdoor furniture—an inviting spot to soak up the peaceful surroundings. The property also offers covered bike storage and off-road parking for one car.
