Chagford Flat With Views

Description

Meldon Hall is a substantial Victorian house in an elevated position on the slopes of Meldon Hill on the outskirts of Chagford approximately half a mile from the Square along a quiet lane. Number 5 is on the top (second) floor of the house and the Living Room and Kitchen have a superb rural westerly outlook across the neighbouring fields and the valley of the River Teign to the high moor.

Well lit and well presented the property is a very pleasant pied-a-terre for enjoying the Dartmoor countryside with all the facilities of the town close at hand, yet the peace and quiet of the country all around.

Situation

The picturesque old market town of Chagford lies 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 a number of 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 and an open air swimming pool.

Accommodation

The property is accessed via a heated and well presented communal hallway with stairs rising to the second floor.

The front door of the apartment opens straight into an open plan and well lit Living Room offering some superb far reaching rural views and benefiting from deep cushioned window seats, a mock fireplace with slate hearth and power point, and a concealed wall mounted TV behind the fireplace picture. This opens into the Kitchen with hand built oak units and work surface, tiled splashbacks, induction hob with fan hood, integrated oven and microwave, dishwasher and fridge.

From the Living Room a small inner hall leads to the two bedrooms and a modern shower room with large walk in corner shower, heated towel rail, wash basin with lit mirror over and a low level wc with concealed cistern and cupboard.

The main bedroom is a generous size with double glazed windows overlooking the communal gardens whilst the second bedroom benefits from deep built in wardrobes with space...
