SOUTHER WREYLAND

KEY FEATURES

Step Inside

Nestled in the heart of Lustleigh, Souther Wreyland stands as a testament to timeless beauty. This Grade II Listed thatched cottage, believed to have its roots in the 17th Century, is more than just a home—it’s a piece of history. Meticulous care has been taken to enhance its charm, ensuring that its original features, from the leaded windows and granite fireplaces to the wooden floors, remain in great condition.

Inside, you’ll find a blend of traditional character with a modern vibe thanks to the elegant décor and lighting throughout. The openplan kitchen, dining, and sitting area is both inviting and functional, with a magnificent fireplace ready for a multi-fuel stove. Off the kitchen there is a very handy utility room which gives lots of extra kitchen storage. From the open plan area there is a cross-passage hallway, and a snug (which could be used as additional bedroom). On the first floor, you’re greeted by three spacious double bedrooms, complemented by a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

Step Outside

The gardens offer breathtaking views over the pretty thatch rooftops of Wreyland and with the rolling countryside beyond. The garden is made up of lawn and established hedge borders along with mature planting. Off the kitchen door to the garden there is a large terrace which enjoys the wonderful views and has plenty of space for entertaining. There is also a pretty space to the back of the property which has access to a small stone store (with power) and a door into the dining room. Parking wise, there is plenty of space to park and a detached garage.

AGENT INSIGHT

Having spent countless hours enjoying the vast expanses of Dartmoor, I’ve developed a profound love and appreciation of it. It offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life and some truly remarkable landscapes. But Dartmoor’s not just about the great outdoors—it’s also about the communities that are dotted across the moor, and Lustleigh stands out as a shining gem among them.

The community here is tight-knit, yet welcoming. From the events throughout the year to the spirited matches at the local Cricket Club, there’s a sense of belonging that’s hard to find elsewhere these days. Imagine being a part of this community, and doing so from the comfort of a home like Souther Wreyland. This property isn’t just a house—it’s a piece of history, a testament to the timeless charm of Lustleigh. Living here means waking up to wonderful views of the countryside, enjoying evenings by a grand fireplace, and having the best of Dartmoor right at your doorstep.

But beyond the aesthetics and the location, Souther Wreyland offers a lifestyle. It’s about enjoying things like— a morning stroll to get the paper, or a chat with someone on the way. It’s about being a part of a community that values everything the village offers.

Having lived in South Devon all my life and having sold numerous homes in the village, I’ve experienced the magic of Dartmoor and the warmth of Lustleigh firsthand. And I believe that Souther Wreyland is more than just a property; it’s an opportunity to be a part of, and enjoy something special.*
