Description

Camellia Cottage is a rare opportunity to acquire a cottage to refurbish in Chagford. It is located a short walk from the town square and sits back from the road behind its own cottage garden. The accommodation comprises a porch, lounge with fireplace, kitchen/breakfast room, double bedroom, landing, bathroom and an accessible attic space with two velux double glazed skylights. The property will almost certainly need rewiring, new kitchen units, bathroom and redecoration throughout, although it does have a new chimney, slate roof, flue and woodburner. Fowlers strongly recommend viewing.

Located in the centre of a terrace of homes set back behind their gardens at the lower part of Lower Street in Chagford. The bustling town square is only about 300 metres away where there is a wide variety of day to day and specialist shops, four pubs and cafes. Chagford has a Primary school, Pre-school and Montessori school, a Parish church, Roman Catholic church and chapel and surgeries for doctor, dentist and vet. The town is surrounded by countryside, riverside and moorland walks and has great sports facilities with a football and cricket pitch, a pavilion, tennis club, bowling club, a skate park, play park and an open air swimming pool in the summertime. The A30 dual carriageway is about 5 miles away and Exeter is approximately 20 miles.
