Hobhouse Farmhouse

Grid ref: SX 6979 9210

Hobhouse Farmhouse is a listed building of medieval and later date, situated in the heart of Dartmoor's farming landscape. The structure reflects the practical demands of upland agriculture, with development across several periods visible in its fabric and form. Like many Dartmoor farmsteads, it represents centuries of settlement and land use on the high moor.

Today the farmhouse stands as a private residence within the working moorland. Its Grade II* listing recognises its historical significance as a record of vernacular building and rural life. For those walking the moor, the site offers a tangible link to Dartmoor's inhabited and cultivated past, part of the network of farms and smallholdings that have shaped the landscape.
