Higher Stiniel is situated on the edge of an idyllic tiny hamlet of five dwellings in a peaceful, rural Dartmoor setting, off a quiet country lane, surrounded by its own land. The house is Listed as being of historic or architectural interest, grade 2, and stated as being late 15th to early 16th century, originally an open hall house, with major 16th and 17th century improvements, enlarged in the late 17th century and modernised in the early or mid 19th century: ‘Higher Stiniel is both an interesting and attractive farmhouse situated in an exceptionally picturesque Dartmoor hamlet which contains other important listed buildings’.

The traditional through passage Dartmoor farmhouse, built of granite beneath a partly thatched and partly slate roof, has considerable character and charm, combining the comforts of modern living with notable period features such as exposed granite walls and fireplace, axial chimney stack, cruck beams etc. With its south-facing façade with large sash and leaded light windows, the rooms provide well presented, light and airy accommodation.

Off the cross-passage hall, with exposed granite block wall, is the delightful sitting room with its stone fireplace with granite jambs and former bread oven. A door leads into the family room with fitted bookcases, wood burner and French doors to the garden. To the other side of the hall is the dining room and fitted kitchen, with AGA. At the rear is the utility room and walk-in larder, the back door and, connecting to the party barn, is an L shaped conservatory with sitting and dining areas and French doors to an enclosed courtyard terrace with shrubs and plants and providing a lovely, sheltered suntrap.

On the first floor is the large principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room, as well as three further bedrooms and family bathroom.

Gardens and grounds
The gardens are a particular feature of Higher Stiniel, including the south-facing walled garden to the front of the house with level lawns and shrub and plant borders, and a further large level lawned area to the rear, interspersed with ornamental trees and shrubs including oak, maple, cedar, apple, rhododendron and hydrangea.

There is an excellent and useful range of traditional stone barns and outbuildings around the house, two of which are thatched, including the party barn, further barns, roundhouse, hayloft and stables, forming a most attractive and interesting cluster of historic traditional Dartmoor stone buildings, two of which are separately listed.
