Higher Horselake Farmhouse
Devon
Higher Horselake Farmhouse stands in the open landscape of central Dartmoor, a Listed Building of II* grade that reflects centuries of moorland farming. The farmhouse likely dates from the medieval or early modern period, when scattered farms and settlements were established across the moor to work the marginal grazing land and peat.
Today it remains a private residence within its moorland setting. Like many Dartmoor farms, it tells the story of people adapting to high ground, isolation, and weather to sustain pastoral life on the moor. The site's protected status recognises its architectural and historical significance to the landscape.
