Lake Farmhouse is a listed building of considerable age, likely originating in the medieval or early post-medieval period when farming communities were established across Dartmoor's moorland fringes. The building shows the typical evolution of a working farm dwelling, with alterations and additions reflecting the changing needs and fortunes of successive generations of occupants.
Today the farmhouse stands as a reminder of the long history of habitation and land use on the moor. Its Grade II* status reflects its architectural and historical significance. The building is private, but its presence in the landscape speaks to the enduring relationship between people and Dartmoor's farms and settlements.
