A picturesque Grade II listed thatched house and detached barn, set within 3 acres on the edge of Dartmoor National Park.

SituationAshwell Lane, which is located about a mile from

the town of Bovey Tracey runs along the edge of

the Dartmoor National Park and leads down to

the River Bovey and Parke, a National Trust estate

with idyllic woodland walks along the river to

the medieval weir. Bovey Tracey, known as the

gateway to Dartmoor, is a pretty granite and cob

market town with a strong rural heritage.

The town offers a number of unique visitor

attractions and a range of quality independent

retailers including delicatessens, high-class

butchers, farm produce and fair-trade shops, as

well as all other amenities needed to meet

everyday needs.

The A38 Devon Expressway is some 3 miles

airport and access to the M5 motorway network.

DescriptionLittle Wolleigh is a picturesque Grade II listed

house dating from the Sixteenth Century with

later additions, including an additional south west

wing which was added in 1935. The main part

of the house is cob and stone under a wheat reed

thatched roof and sits in wonderful grounds of

about 3 acres. The house, which is beautifully

presented throughout and offers four principal

reception rooms and six double bedrooms, has

retained many period features, including a wide

stone fireplace in the drawing room with a large

brick oven to the left, late sixteenth century oak

panelling in the study and a beautiful arched

granite surround projecting from the front door,

which is again believed to date from the sixteenth

century. In contrast to this, modern day living at

Little Wolleigh has a low carbon footprint and is

highly energy efficient. The house is heated by

a Windhager biomass boiler which is linked to a

solar thermal system and we have been informed

there is a possibility this may qualify for a

government tariff under the RHI. In addition,

solar photovoltaics provide electricity with the

benefit of the current tariff.

Gardens and GroundsThe grounds at Little Wolleigh are beautifully

designed to create many different areas of

enjoyment. The formal gardens incorporate the

croquet lawn and terraced seating areas and are

overlooked by the south elevation of the house,

which hosts a magical wisteria believed to date

from circa 1935. The lower garden is ideal for

entertaining and centres around a thatched

summer house (with power) a terrace bordered

with box hedging and a well established lily pond.

Beyond the gardens is an ancient orchard, home

to a number of beautiful fruit trees, including

quince, apple, pear and plum.

A delightful gazebo which stands on a small

island within the discovered remains of a former

bathing pool is reached via an arched bridge.

The kitchen gardens offer a vast array of vegetable

and fruit beds, all interspersed with a network of

brick herringbone paths and an irrigation system

supplied with water from a number of rain water

butts. There are a number of unusual specimen

trees within the grounds.

Outbuildings The outbuildings include a bespoke 26’ timber

and glass greenhouse, two workshops and a boiler

room which houses the biomass system. There is

also a pellet store, a double garage and a mower

shed which houses the borehole and filtration

equipment. There is also a games room and

further store.

Within the grounds there is a Grade II Listed

detached barn built of cob and stone, with

adjoining store and hay loft, which in all extends

to nearly 50’.
