LOCAL AREAThe Yarner Estate is situated on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park next to the East Dartmoor National Nature Reserve in a remarkable peaceful elevated location.

The Grade II listed Yarner House sits in a truly breath-taking setting with extraordinary uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside and the Wray Valley below.

Within Dartmoor National Park, it is renowned for the diversity of its countryside as well as the many various sporting and recreational activities available within its vicinity. The ancient granite rocky outcrops

of Haytor are just to the west of the estate with spectacular views across Dartmoor and the South Devon coast.

Adjacent Yarner Woods is part of a wonderful National Nature Reserve and has a Western Oakwood that is internationally important.

There is the excellent Ullacombe Farm Shop, Café and award winning Cox and Laflin butchery just ¼ mile from the end of the drive. In addition, the popular and sought-after market town of Bovey Tracey is just 3 miles to the east and boasts a

wide range of conveniences along with a church, restaurants, cafés, and pubs. Bovey Castle has a superb 18-hole golf course and extensive leisure facilities and lies about five miles to the north. Okehampton lies 20 miles to the north and has an array of shopping facilities.

Exeter (17 miles away) is the main regional centre and has the widest range of facilities.

For the yachtsman there are first class marina facilities in Plymouth to the south west and Dartmouth to the south east. The A38, which is 4 miles away, provides

good, quick access to Exeter and the M5. Exeter St Davids provides regular Intercity rail services to the Midlands and London Paddington and Waterloo. Exeter Airport has a growing number of national and international flights, including daily flights to London City Airport.

HISTORICAL NOTEOnce governed by William the Conqueror and mentioned in the Doomsday book, Yarner’s surroundings are steeped in history. Having been a popular hunting site in Tudor times it has distinct connections with Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI and Queen Mary. Thought to have had a hunting lodge settlement where the current house lies on its grounds during the Tudor dynasty. Yarner’s royal British history ended in the 15th century, as the land, owned by the Crown was sold on in 1578 by Elizabeth I. The building of the current Yarner Manor started in 1630 and finished in 1678 by Moses Stoneham. Yarner changed hands many times throughout the subsequent centuries but having bought the estate in 1964, the current owners have kept it as a family for over 50 years.

The unusual architecture of the house gives it character and charm; the battlements emanate that of a French chateau. This has further relevance because the word Yarner was derived from the Aquitaine French for “where the eagles soar.” Fitting because the buzzards that glide over Yarner and our surroundings are plentiful, their sound is never too far away.

YARNER HOUSE AND ESTATELot 1On arriving at the Grade II listed Yarner House, it is easy to see why this site was chosen to build a house of this stature – it is a remarkable setting.

The kilometre long drive meanders through the land giving glimpses of the house and arrives at a gravel parking area next to the terraced lawn with its unbelievable views.

The house is entered through an oak front door into an entrance lobby with seating areas and onto an inner hall that doubles as a dining room. Beyond is the wonderfully light ‘Scandinavian Hall’ with exposed beams and fireplace and is a

wonderfully flexible space that is ideal for entertaining. At the heart of the house is a study, sitting room, kitchen and breakfast room. The house offers excellent bedroom accommodation with a spacious principal bedroom with dressing room and ensuite bathroom along with a further 6 bedrooms and bathrooms over the two floors. In addition is the wonderful second floor sitting room with its own kitchen adjacent.

There is no doubt that the views from the house are one of a kind and the large lawned terrace takes full advantage of these. At the end of the garden is the

charming period summer house which has huge potential. Beyond is the former tennis court that needs updating but has to be one of the great sites for a tennis court in the south west of England! Below the terrace is an African Hut that the current owners have used for weddings at the property – it is further surrounded by formal gardens with views over the pasture below.

Beyond the gravelled parking area are two traditional outbuildings that currently offer extensive storage but offer an exciting opportunity for conversion to a huge variety of uses.
