Hole Farmhouse Including Garden Walls and Mounting Block Adjoining to North

Devon

Hole Farmhouse is a listed building of significant historical interest, standing as evidence of the farming communities that have worked the land around Dartmoor's margins. The farmhouse itself, likely dating from the medieval period or later, is accompanied by surviving garden walls and a mounting block to the north, practical features that speak to how people once moved through and worked this landscape.

Today the site remains largely as a private residence, but the Grade I listing recognises its architectural and historical importance. The mounting block is a modest but telling detail, a stone structure that would have helped riders and their horses on the moorland roads and farm tracks that still crisscross this part of Devon.
