A Grade II listed Dartmoor house in a sought-after village with significant renovation potential

Half Moon is a charming Grade II listed house thought to date from the late 16th century. It was once the village inn and shop until the 1960s when it was bought by the artist Jeanne du Maurier and poet Noel Welch. They lived at Half Moon until their deaths in 1997 and 2017 respectively. Coming to the market for the first time in several decades, the property was rethatched in 2023 but otherwise is in need of full renovation. The delightful gardens and grounds include several outbuildings, including a granite folly, stable block and garages.

This property has 1.25 acres of land.
