The White House – Well Presented Four-Bedroom Character Home with Business Potential

Bursting with charm and steeped in history, The White House is a well presented and deceptively spacious four-bedroom, four-bathroom character property offering versatile accommodation. With origins as a former public house and workman’s cottage—now seamlessly combined—this unique home offers an exciting opportunity for multi-generational living or a business venture (subject to any necessary consents from Dartmoor National Park Authority). The property also benefits from generous off-road parking and mature gardens, making it ideal for families and those seeking a rural lifestyle with space to grow.

The main entrance, via a stable door framed by a flourishing wisteria, leads into a spacious lounge featuring a striking fireplace with slate hearth, solid oak mantle, and alcove shelving. A deep panelled window seat adds to the room’s character, overlooking the attractive front garden. From here, the layout flows into a  kitchen/dining room fitted with a full range of oak base and wall units, matching central island, and oak flooring. A triple oil-fired Aga, double butler sink, and integrated dishwasher complete this well-appointed space, while a cosy seating area offers views over the private sun terrace.

The ground floor also includes a separate formal dining room, two further reception rooms offering excellent flexibility (ideal for home office or snug), a rear utility room, and a contemporary downstairs shower room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with exposed brickwork and a private shower room. Bedroom Two includes a spacious en-suite bathroom, while Bedrooms Three and Four are both generous doubles—one with dual aspect—and Bedroom Four also benefits from its own en-suite.

Externally, the home offers extensive driveway parking, mature gardens, a private sun terrace, and a double garage currently used as a workshop. With all rooms featuring double glazing and additional secondary glazing, this home is both stylish and practical.

Having previously operated as a successful B&B, The White House offers great scope for business use or simply luxurious, flexible family living in a desirable Dartmoor setting. Viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate all that this exceptional home has to offer.
