Sandsgate House
A grand family home of light, stone and southerly views
Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Dartmoor National Park, Sandsgate House is a truly singular family home. The south-facing rooms flood with afternoon light through tall sash windows; the gardens unfurl toward the moors with sweeping views to Castle Drogo and the Teign Valley.
This is a place built for gathering — large families, retreats, weddings, milestone celebrations. The grounds include ancient woodland and prehistoric stone features, and the village of Chagford with its Michelin-listed restaurants is a three-mile drive away.

"Sandsgate House is truly a beautiful haven in Dartmoor. We had an amazing long weekend there with family to celebrate our nearby wedding. Nicky was very accommodating and had made the place very special for us. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about booking."
