Kestorway is a tempting property located in Chagford, Devon, in the South West of England. Situated on the side of the wooded Teign Gorge on the Moor, just below Kestor Rock, this unique house was originally built in 1923 as a guest house, tea rooms, and sweetshop. With connections to notable figures such as Agatha Christie, Peter Cook, and film makers, the property has a rich history as a writer's retreat and hunting lodge. The annex, which is adjoined to the main house, is light, airy, and completely self-contained with its own entrance and parking space.
The property is ideal for those who love walking and exploring Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements, as it offers direct access to the Moor. Inside, the cozy living space features comfy chairs and a wood burning stove, perfect for relaxing and taking in the spectacular views. The well-equipped kitchen and dining area overlook the garden, while the comfortably furnished sunroom provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the scenery to the West. The pretty double bedroom also offers stunning views and is a tranquil space to unwind after a day of walking.
The surrounding garden is well-kept and guests are welcome to camp on site by arrangement. The property is a haven for walkers, with the open moor starting right at the front gate. Nearby, the charming town of Chagford offers interesting shops and good food pubs, while the historic city of Exeter is a short drive away, providing plenty of amenities and attractions to explore. Kestorway is the perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful getaway in a picturesque setting, with easy access to Dartmoor's valleys and tors for unforgettable walks and breathtaking views.
