Lower Jurston Farmhouse Including Garden Walls to South

Devon

Lower Jurston is a Listed farmhouse of significant historical interest, graded II* by Historic England. Its origins likely reach back several centuries, reflecting the pattern of settlement and land use that has shaped Dartmoor and its margins. The farmhouse retains garden walls to the south, features that speak to long occupation and the gradual shaping of the domestic landscape around a working holding.

Today the site offers a glimpse into the layered history of Dartmoor's farmsteads. Visitors walking the area will find a modest but enduring structure, embedded in the moorland terrain. The surviving walls and building form part of the wider story of how people have lived and farmed on and around the moor, adapting to its climate and topography over generations.
