New Street Chagford, Newton Abbot £230,000

The property is situated close to the centre of the picturesque old market town of Chagford, deep in the Dartmoor National Park and is a superb location from which to access the open spaces of the high moor as well as the wooded, pastoral landscape of the nearby Teign Valley. With a thriving community, it has a comprehensive range of shops and other facilities including, inns, a primary school, medical, dental and veterinary facilities and churches.

Despite the deeply rural atmosphere of the town, the A30 dual carriageway is only approximately 5 miles away for easy access to the motorway and rail networks as well as the cathedral city of Exeter where all major facilities can be found. There are good public transport links between Chagford and Exeter, Newton Abbot and Okehampton. Local sporting facilities include clubs for cricket, football, bowls, tennis and a seasonal open-air swimming pool as well as a golf course nearby at Bovey Castle

The Grade II listed cottage was originally one house with No 9 and is believed to date back to the mid 17th century. It is thought to be of stone construction under a slate roof and it is unknown when it was split into two. It has been rented for a number of years and now requires modernization to create a wonderful home of character. It is single glazed throughout .

The door from the roadside opens into the shared Access Passage with character oak plank and muntin screens. The passage is owned by No 7 but also provides access to No 9. The front door opens into a low ceilinged Living Room with character timber beam and woodburner set in a granite fireplace with a window seat below the front facing window. Stairs lead up to the first floor with storage under. The Kitchen offers little in the way of built in units but has a door through to a good sized rear storage area that could be incorporated within a new Kitchen Diner (subject to any necessary consents). A door from the kitchen leads out into the Rear Courtyard. From the Living Room the stairs rise to a first floor landing providing access to the two bedrooms (double and single) both offering surprisingly high ceilings and exposed painted beams and with windows overlooking the front. The rear Bathroom also offers painted beams and a rear window.

The property benefits from a Rear Courtyard accessed from the Entrance Passage and Kitchen. It is owned by No 7 but No 9 has a right of way over it to access their store cupboards.

Mains electric, water and drainage. Heating is via the Woodburner and an Electric Heater whilst hot water comes from an immersion tank off the main bedroom. A search of Ofcom.org.uk suggests that Superfast Broadband up to 80mbps could be possible whilst there is apparently also good mobile coverage but we would recommend checking this
