Property description
DESCRIPTION The property is a very special offering and which has been in the same family for over twenty years. Offering some wonderful views across the moor and being situated in the heart of Dartmoor, this is indeed a rare opportunity to purchase a freehold three bedroom detached property with potential. Whilst in need of some renovation and work the cottage would make a superb position for a new dwelling if so desired and subject to any permissions and consents.
The whole property sits in a good sized plot extending to 0.43 acres with the current vendors having enjoyed many happy times and magical memories in this very special spot.
Whilst in the past the property has benefited from planning permission, with footings having been dug, to extend the dwelling to provide a superb home in a glorious Dartmoor setting we would recommend that any potential purchasers make their own enquiries to the Dartmoor National Park with regard to any further potential that property could enjoy.
LOCATION The property is situated within a small hamlet of farms and dwellings tucked away in a sheltered position approximately two and a half miles from the village of Poundsgate. The property is situated within the Dartmoor National Park in what is arguably the most attractive yet easily accessible parts of the Moor. Ashburton is the nearest town being some six and a half miles distant.
