Nestled in a secluded valley within the stunning Dartmoor National Park, Sweeton Manor offers a tranquil retreat with breath-taking moorland views. This historic residence, dating back to the 16th century, combines the charm of a classic Devon longhouse with elegant Georgian additions, presenting a unique living opportunity for families seeking a multi-generational home.

Sweeton Manor is a beautifully maintained Grade II listed property with an inviting L-shaped layout, currently comprising two interconnected homes that can easily be configured as a single expansive dwelling. The manor is framed by picturesque thatched roofs and sash windows, creating a storybook setting.

The main entrance leads to a splendid stone terrace overlooking lush gardens and the moor beyond. Inside, the home boasts generous proportions with an open plan kitchen and sitting room spanning nearly the entire length of the house. A cosy wood burner enhances the sitting area, which flows into a versatile living room/library with direct terrace access. The grand oak staircase ascends to the upper floor, where a corridor adorned with recessed windows connects two spacious bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms.

Adjacent, the north wing houses a secondary kitchen with a dining area and a charming built-in bench, centred around an electric AGA. This area includes a grand sitting room with a majestic granite fireplace, leading to an additional annexe bedroom.

Sweeton Manor comprises seven bedrooms and six bathrooms in total, offering ample space for family gatherings and guest accommodation.

The property includes a series of stunning outbuildings: a self-contained studio/home office, a thatched barn, and an additional barn with a bio-mass boiler. The private courtyard and cobbled drive add to the estate's grandeur.

At the heart of the estate lies a striking green oak-framed building housing an indoor heated swimming pool, complete with steam room, changing facilities, and a spa bath (currently not in use).

The expansive grounds, covering approximately 2.59 acres, feature mature trees, hedges, and extensive lawns, ensuring privacy and tranquillity. These well-maintained gardens provide a serene backdrop for both relaxation and family activities.


Sweeton Manor is located in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, an area that is renowned for its spectacular scenery with granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys, bisected by rushing streams and rivers. There are many opportunities locally for walking, riding and fishing and close by is the stunning River Dart valley flowing off the moor, via Totnes, to the Dart Estuary and the sea at Dartmouth. The south coast is about 20 miles away where there are excellent facilities for sailing and numerous beaches and coastal walks.
