Yeo Old Farmhouse

Grid ref: SX 5510 6695

Yeo Old Farmhouse is a listed building of significant historic interest, graded II* by Historic England. Its name and form suggest a farmstead of some age, likely with medieval roots, though the building as it stands today shows the layering of modifications and rebuilding typical of working farms across Dartmoor. Such structures evolved gradually, their walls and layouts responding to changing needs across generations.

The farmhouse occupies its place within the broader pattern of settlement and land use on and around the moor. For those walking the Dartmoor landscape, such buildings offer quiet evidence of how people have lived with this terrain, adapted to it, and built their livelihoods here. The site remains a private residence and is best appreciated from a distance, as part of the wider moorland heritage.
