Addislade

Devon

Addislade is a listed building that sits within the landscape of open moorland, its name suggesting an old cleared or settled place on the moor. The structure reflects the kinds of dwellings and agricultural buildings that have long punctuated Dartmoor's high ground, shaped by both the practical needs of moorland life and the materials at hand.

Today the building remains a marker of human occupation on the moor, part of the scattered pattern of historic settlement that tells the story of how people have lived and worked on Dartmoor over centuries. The Grade II* listing reflects its architectural or historic significance within that story, worth noticing for anyone walking the moorland and curious about how the landscape has been inhabited and shaped.
