Holne, Near Ashburton

DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market Churchway Cottage, a traditional Devon stone and slate cottage, which is set in heart of the picturesque Dartmoor village of Holne. This deceptively spacious home comes to market for the first time in over 25 years and is being sold with no forward chain. Despite its age and history, the property has the benefit of Solar PV with a Tesla battery with air source heat pump units for heating and cooling throughout the home. 

Holne is a well-placed but secluded village on the South-Eastern side of Dartmoor, within easy reach the beautiful Dart Valley, Haytor Vale and to the A38 Devon Expressway which gives ease of access to main routes to the local towns of Ashburton, Newton Abbot and Totnes, and further afield to Exeter and Plymouth. 

The property is accessed at the front through a traditional style wooden five bar pedestrian gate, into a pretty, well stocked front garden. A gravelled path leads to a ceramic tiled threshold, and the front door opens into a large entrance, and there is also a spacious dining area which comfortably accommodates a dining table and chairs.

This area flows naturally into the kitchen, which has engineered wood flooring and a range of wooden fronted floor and wall units and there is space for an Aga plus sitting and dining furniture if desired. As you enter the hallway beyond the kitchen, there is useful pantry, separated by a concertina door, as well as an understairs cupboard.

The hallway provides access to the conservatory, the main reception room, and stairs to the first floor. The main reception room is a generous size and quirky space with an impressive stone inglenook fireplace housing a large woodburning stove upon. A mezzanine to the upstairs landing allows for light from the roof light window to flood into this room below. Exposed stonework hints at the provenance of this building. Double sliding and folding patio doors lead to the front garden and allows for more light to flood into this comfortable homely space. 

The conservatory is a pleasant space with ample room for more seating and enjoys views to the pretty, landscaped garden. The glass roof panels have insulating UV film fitted. There is a well-appointed utility room with Belfast sink and space for white goods. From here an inner hallway leads to a W.C.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefiting from a large dressing area and an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom services the other two bedrooms which both benefit from built in wardrobes. Part of the landing includes the mezzanine area with a roof light window above, looking down into the main reception room below, and this gives a feeling of spaciousness and light, and also allows room for a chair and bookshelf. This open space was once a fourth bedroom, which could be reinstated if required. There is also a large heated airing cupboard on the landing. 

Outside to the front of the property is a traditional stone boundary wall which encloses the versatile garden, with areas of trellis and planting, space for outside furniture, plus wood edged raised beds and steps to the side of the property which lead to the parking area and rear garden beyond. 

The rear garden with a level area of lawn also enjoys a variety of shrubs and trees, and a small pond, and is kept private by hedge boundaries. There is a wooden built workshop with garaging space and electrics, as well as a useful insulated dog kennel. The rear of the property can be accessed from the road through double gates, and here is the parking for several cars, and vehicular access to the wooden covered car port and garaging space in the workshop.
