Nattonhole Farmhouse

Devon

Nattonhole Farmhouse stands as a substantial vernacular building, its name reflecting its setting in a natural hollow on Dartmoor. The farmhouse shows evidence of medieval or early post-medieval origin, with alterations and additions made over subsequent centuries as farming practices and family needs evolved. The building demonstrates the traditional construction methods and layout typical of moorland agricultural dwellings.

Today the farmhouse remains a private residence, embedded in the working moorland landscape. It forms part of the dispersed pattern of settlement across Dartmoor, where farms and smallholdings have long adapted to the challenging terrain and climate. The building is valued as a record of vernacular architecture and the long history of habitation and land use on the moor.
