West Burrow Farmhouse

Grid ref: SX 4908 9171

West Burrow Farmhouse stands as a reminder of the long history of farming settlement on and around Dartmoor. The building's listed status reflects its architectural and historical interest, marking it as a structure of more than ordinary significance. Like many farmhouses in this landscape, it would have evolved over centuries, modified and adapted to the needs of successive generations working the moorland and valley land.

Today the farmhouse sits within the wider pattern of Dartmoor's inhabited places, a tangible connection to the moor's past as a working agricultural landscape. The building itself, listed at Grade II* level, rewards those with an interest in vernacular architecture and the long continuity of rural settlement on the fringes of the national park.
