For a thousand years Eggbeer has nestled here, mentioned in the Domesday book it is steeped in history, a timeless world of mellow barns, rambling lawns and paddocks. This lovely thatched medieval farmhouse, divided into two, is perched on its own in Dartmoor National Park, surrounded by farmland and with glorious views towards the Teign Valley and Dartmoor .

Comfortably furnished in keeping with its period with many artistic touches, Higher Eggbeer is delightfully different, some say magical even. The property is charmingly rustic and rural, with fantastic riding, walking and good fishing available locally, is close to the village and Dartmoor, only 10 miles from the lovely cathedral city of Exeter with all its amenities and only half an hour to the coast and good beaches.
