Property description
Lovely 3 bedroomed character cottage in highly sought after village - Large living room with ingle-nook fireplace and WOODBURNER - Lovely rear garden extending to 43 feet.
1 Cawsand View Cottages is a mid terraced cottage built in the 1700s for workers at the nearby copper mine on Ramsley Common, and later for the makers of serge for the military when South Zeal had a wool industry. South Zeal still remains a very sought after village being situated on the edge of Dartmoor, with Okehampton and the A30 relatively close by.
No. 1 is the biggest in the row of similar terraced cottages. It is bigger than it looks and has all the quirky features you would expect from a building of this age, including oak beams, granite inglenook fireplace with cloam oven (also a woodburner of rather less age) and uneven floors.
The house offers excellent living accommodation, comprising spacious 3 bedroomed accommodation, having a large living room, complete with impressive granite inglenook fireplace with granite hearth and woodburner. There is a lovely hand built Dogs Paw kitchen and Esse cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a utility, which overlooks the pretty rear garden which extends to 43 feet, comprising of a lovely paved patio area and flower beds well stocked with attractive plants and flowers.
The cottage boasts a wealth of period features, which is believed to date back over 300 years, including heavily beamed ceiling and the beautiful eye catching Dartmoor granite inglenook fireplace. Because the cottage is built of cob and granite and brick, and because it is in the middle of a row, it is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It’s in need of a bit of love and affection, but it is extremely cosy, friendly and idiosyncratic.
There are 2 double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom, a bathroom and a cloakroom on the first floor.
SOUTH ZEAL has two pubs of differing styles, one tiny church (St Mary’s), The Store (with post office), a parish hall, a pre-school, South Tawton Junior School.
