Accommodation overview: Standing in beautiful, enclosed two-acre gardens on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Yennadon House is a fine example of a solidly built, late Victorian property. Built of red brick with Gothic influences, this superb detached property retains many original features, much character and lots of style. A real family home, the house has been loved throughout the generations, and is perfect for a family holiday, or special occasion celebration. The sweeping drive over the cattle grid and through the rhododendrons leads to the house, where a large, level lawn lies to the front aspect, with the tennis court and ancient apple orchard to the rear. The large porch entrance opens into a large hall with sweeping stairs rising to a minstrels’ gallery-style landing with the bedrooms leading off. The spacious living room is a great family room, whilst the smaller sitting room is ideal for relaxing in. The dining-room has a large refectory table to seat 13 guests - perfect for a social evening meal.
Less than a 5-minute walk away is the open moorland of Dartmoor, with its rugged tors, windswept landscape and, of course, its famous ponies which roam freely. A place of stark contrast, it is popular with walkers, photographers and tourists alike. Another short walk away from the house is Burrator with its large reservoir, formed by flooding the Meavy Valley at the end of the 19th century. A little further is Princetown, a small village in the heart of the moor, with the highest point on the moor dominated by Dartmoor Prison. Princetown is also well known for the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. Yelverton golf club is 1 mile. Shops, pub ¼ mile.
