DIRECTION
From Totnes, proceed on the A381 towards Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. After about 3 miles enter the village of Harbertonford and pass over the River Harbourne Bridge taking the next right into Moreleigh Road. Proceed along this road and after a short distance, Laurel Cottage can be found on the right hand side as you proceed up the hill.
SITUATION
Laurel Cottage is situated within the heart of this desirable village of Harbertonford and is only a short drive from Totnes and all its facilities. Harbertonford itself offers an excellent village shop and post office, pub, petrol station, popular church and primary school. The village is actively involved with its close neighbouring village of Harberton which falls within the same parish and also offers a pub, church and thriving village hall and playing field. The ancient borough of Totnes enjoys a prominent position above the River Dart. The town is one of Devon's gems: full of both colour and character that stems from a rich cultural, historical and archaeological heritage. It is the second oldest borough in England and is full of facilities to include its own hospital, two supermarkets, interesting shops and galleries together with the riverside walks, Guild Hall, churches and its very own Norman Castle. The railway station links directly with London Paddington and the A38 Devon Expressway is only 15 minutes away joining it at Buckfastleigh, giving excellent access to Plymouth and northbound Exeter.
DESCRIPTION
Laurel Cottage is a character village cottage providing spacious accommodation over two floors, and would make an ideal permanent residence, but also due to the low maintenance garden would make an ideal lock up and leave. The property has a number of character features including period fireplaces, wooden ceiling beams and casement windows. Approximately 30 yards up the road from the property is a plot which has planning permission granted for a two story, one bedroom dwelling with parking and patio garden.
