Ditsworthy Warren House, Grade II listed building in Sheepstor, England
Ditsworthy Warren House features granite rubble walls and a two-story structure with a late 19th-century extension at the edge of Dartmoor National Park.
The structure first appeared in records from 1474 and served as a residence for the keeper of England's largest rabbit warren, containing 53 pillow mounds.
The building represents traditional warren keeping practices, where rabbits were bred for meat and fur, with specialized structures for animal housing.
The house lacks vehicle access and remains isolated within Dartmoor National Park, accessible through bridleways for hiking and mountain biking activities.
The property transformed into the Narracott family farmhouse during the filming of Steven Spielberg's War Horse in 2010, receiving a temporary thatched roof.
