West Week Farmhouse

Devon

West Week Farmhouse is a substantial listed building that reflects centuries of settlement and farming on the margins of Dartmoor. The farmhouse shows evidence of medieval origins, with modifications and extensions added over subsequent generations as agricultural practices and domestic needs evolved. The building stands as a tangible record of how families adapted their homes and working lives to the demands of moorland farming.

Today the farmhouse remains a private residence within the landscape it has occupied for hundreds of years. From nearby paths, visitors can appreciate how such properties are woven into the fabric of Dartmoor's fringes, part of the network of farms and hamlets that have shaped the moor's character and history.
