A family home of exceptional quality with far- reaching views from the elevated position on the edge of an award winning and community focused Dartmoor village. The vendors renovated the property for their own occupation, but sadly a family illness forced a change of plans, so they will be selling at an overall loss and this opportunity thus presents amazing value to the new owners of Combe Hill.

Lustleigh, known as “the prettiest village in Dartmoor", is renowned for the beauty of it's scenery and strong community focus, with a famous and well-regarded local pub called The Cleave Inn, which is within walking distance of the property.

Combe Hill was built in circa 1850 and is not listed. The current owners have painstakingly and comprehensively renovated and refurbished the house throughout, whilst maintaining its charm and character. The kitchen in particular is of exceptional quality, forming the heart of this turn-key family home. The vendors gained advantage of material SDLT multiple dwelling relief when purchasing the property and believe that such relief could be available to a new owner (please note, Knight Frank do not provide tax advice and this SDLT advantage should be checked with your own advisors)

There are seven acres of grounds, giving the next owner a wonderful blank canvas, and provides safe play spaces for families with young children. This property is potential tree house heaven!

The house benefits from substantial garaging for up to eight vehicles and could be repurposed and separate studio / gym provides a superb opportunity to create secondary accommodation, all subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Situated in an accessible area of Dartmoor, combining beautiful rural surroundings with practical accessibility, being only 20 miles from Exeter and it's two hour ten minute rail journey time to London Paddington.

The house could also provide fantastic income potential for holiday lets, being situated within this ever popular and beautiful national park.


Combe Hill sits in a peaceful and elevated position on the edge of Lustleigh, within Dartmoor National Park with far reaching views over the surrounding countryside. It is arguably one of the finest locations on Dartmoor thanks to the beautiful rolling countryside and easy access to amenities. The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery with granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys bisected by streams and rivers. There are numerous opportunities for walking, riding, cycling and fishing and there are 18 hole golf courses at Bovey Castle and Stover.

There are several highly regarded schools in the area including Exeter School, The Maynard, Stover in Newton Abbot and Mount Kelly in Tavistock. Combe Hill provides the perfect balance of rural tranquillity with genuine accessibility thanks to the excellent transport links nearby. The A38 Devon Expressway has dual carriageway links to Plymouth and the M5 motorway at Exeter. From Exeter, there is a regular direct train service to London Paddington taking from 2 hours 3 minutes. Exeter Airport has an increasing number of domestic and
international flights.
