A beautifully appointed barn conversion with equestrian facilities and approx 6 acres

Dapplemoor is an exceptional contemporary residence, providing more than 3,700 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation. Combining striking modern architecture with high-quality finishes, the property has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its elevated position, including far-reaching views of Dartmoor. Character features, including exposed stone walls and timber beams, sit alongside light-filled, open-plan living spaces, creating a home that is both impressive and welcoming. Dapplemoor is an eco home that has many environmental credentials including underfloor heating throughout the home. The property also benefits from a site-wide security system with an automatic gate, that can be linked to a phone. The extensive grounds extend to approximately 6 acres, with outbuildings offering excellent equestrian facilities.

The principal reception room is the impressive 32ft drawing room, featuring tiled flooring, exposed beams and a substantial stone fireplace fitted with a log-burning stove. Adjoining the drawing room, the magnificent 49ft kitchen and dining room is arranged in a semi open-plan layout, with a sliding glass door framing panoramic countryside views and overhead skylights flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units, integrated appliances and an Everhot range, while a generous utility room provides additional storage and space for laundry appliances. Further reception space includes a bright sun room, with overhead skylights and French doors opening onto a terrace. The ground floor also offers a generous double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and French doors to the outside. Completing the accommodation on this floor is the luxury principal suite, comprising a sitting room and dressing room with a partial double-height ceiling and bi-folding doors that open onto a terrace. The spacious principal bathroom features a bath, separate shower and sauna. A staircase from the sitting room leads to the principal bedroom. An additional staircase from the drawing room leads to two further double bedrooms, which share a Jack and Jill shower room. One bedroom benefits from floor-to-ceiling bespoke fitted wardrobes.

This property has 6 acres of land.

Outside

Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens include split-level terraces ideal for al fresco dining, well-maintained lawns, raised planted beds and a raised deck with a hot tub, maximising the exceptional elevated views. Beyond the gardens, the wider grounds include fenced paddocks and an all-weather arena (60x20m), providing excellent facilities for equestrian use or livestock grazing. A substantial 1,800 sq ft American-style barn with stabling further enhances the property’s equestrian credentials, while a detached studio offers versatile additional space with a range of potential uses. In all the property enjoys approximately 6 acres.

Situation

The property lies in the small, rural hamlet of Chichacott, just outside of the bustling town of Okehampton and on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Okehampton provides a range of shops, restaurants, cafés and supermarkets, as well as leisure facilities and schooling. More extensive amenities are available in the regional capital of Exeter. The area is well regarded for education, with several reputable state and independent schools within reach, including Okehampton College, Mount Kelly and slightly further afield, Exeter School, The Maynard and Exeter College. The opportunities for outdoor pursuits in the area are endless. There is good walking, riding and cycling direct from the property, whilst the National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor are both within easy reach. Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve (150 hectares) is also nearby which joins up with the Tarka Trail.
