DESCRIPTION

Offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years, this unique and individual detached character cottage was originally two properties and still retains the two separate staircases that served each property. Inside there are character features such as plank doors with metal latches, window seats and there is potential to install a woodburner or reinstate fireplaces to the reception rooms. There is potential to extend the property (subject to any necessary consents).
The accommodation boasts three double bedrooms, Jack-and-Jill family bathroom, sitting room, dining room, breakfasting kitchen and downstairs WC. Outside there is a detached single garage and a stone outbuilding (a former piggery). To the rear is a good-sized garden (0.15 acre plot) with village and rural views to Dartmoor in the distance. The property boasts double glazing and a Worcester LPG combi boiler which provides central heating and hot water. Whilst the property would benefit from updating and modernisation, this is a wonderful opportunity to create an individual detached village home. No onward chain.
