Waye Cottage Including Garden Boundary Walls to South

Devon

Waye Cottage is a listed building of historic significance, graded II* by Historic England. The cottage and its associated garden boundary walls to the south offer insight into the pattern of settlement and land use across the Dartmoor landscape. The walls themselves are characteristic of the careful demarcation of cultivated ground that defines the moorland edge.

Today, the site sits within the wider context of Dartmoor's scattered farmsteads and smallholdings, many of which date back centuries. The survival of the boundary walls speaks to the enduring relationship between the people of Dartmoor and the land they have worked and lived on. The listing reflects the building's architectural and historical value to the area.
