A charming and spacious character cottage built from local granite and believed to date from about 1660. Beams, granite floors and exposed granite inglenook fireplaces are features of this delightful property which can be found close to the village centre making it great for visiting the friendly local pub.

Sticklepath lies at the foot of a the high moor (its name derives from the Saxon ‘staecle’ meaning ‘steep’) along the old ridgeway path between Exeter and Launceston, once the capital of Cornwall, and on the northern edge of the Dartmoor National Park where you can enjoy the peace and quiet, watch village farming life tending sheep, cattle & crops and enjoy the moorland landscape with its buzzards, granite tors, sparkling streams and ancient monuments.

The village is situated in the middle of the triangle of Exeter (25 minutes), Plymouth (40 minutes) and Newquay (60 minutes) airports and its central location means it is ideally placed for exploring the whole of the West Country as it is just off the main A30 trunk route from Exeter to Penzance. Both coasts are easily reached so you have Ilfracombe, Clovelly and Westward Ho as well as Exmouth, Torquay and Looe within an hour's striking distance.

Local attractions include Castle Drogo, The Finch Foundry Museum of Rural Industry, The Museum of Dartmoor Life, The Miniature Pony Centre, Lydford Gorge, Buckfast Abbey and Dartmoor Prison Museum. If you’re lucky, you will be here for the Dartmoor Folk Festival, The Fireshow, Sticklepath Midsummer Weekend, South Zeal Carnival, Belstone Pantomime or the Cosdon Run!
