Ottoson Partners Real Estate is proud and honoured to offer Dartmoor Homestead for sale.
Over the years this historic estate has been both a family home – and a B and B accommodation. The property is nestled at the end of a long driveway and surrounded by 3 acres of sweeping lawns and landscaped gardens and just a short walk to the town centre.
Dartmoor Homestead was built in four stages between 1842 and 1890. The first cottage, at the rear of the property, was built by George Ormerod in 1840. This was initially a house .. but later on – became the bakery for the early settlers – and more recently, has been updated to offer self contained accommodation.
In around 1882 Thomas Magarey built the main homestead – the undisputed jewel in the crown of this estate.
This beautiful home comprises of two historic buildings joined to create both formal and informal living and dining areas, four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The long elegant hallway has beautiful high ceilings and decorative cornice work.
A formal living room at the front of the home has a stunning chandelier which compliments the rich wall tapestry and Persian carpets. This room has a lovely open fireplace for those cool winter nights. The large master bedroom has a small but functional en suite with shower, toilet and hand basin. Two other bedrooms in the main house are also fitted with hand basins and are spacious enough for queen sized, or twin accommodation.
These bedrooms have access to the large main bathroom featuring separate shower and toilet.
The light filled timber kitchen was added in the late 80′s and has plenty of storage, European appliances and access to a paved entertaining courtyard that overlooks the cottage at the rear, and expansive lawns to the side .. a perfect spot for children to play, or for holding functions such as garden weddings.
Dartmoor has a second, cosy, informal living area off the kitchen, plus another bedroom and bathroom.
Other historic additions on the property include the ‘Bachelor’s Hall’- a three story building that offers endless possibilities for further accommodation.
Words really don’t do this property justice – bring your family and friends to inspect the beauty, grandeur and potential of this estate. There’s nothing else like it…
