Description
Situation - The property is located in the charming hamlet of Ponsworthy, a picturesque village set beside the Webburn River within the heart of Dartmoor National Park. This tranquil setting provides an ideal base for enjoying rural life, with easy access to moorland walks and the surrounding countryside.
Nearby villages include Poundsgate and Widecombe-in-the-Moor, the latter offering a variety of local amenities such as two well-regarded public houses, several independent shops, a convenience store with postal counter, and the historic St Pancras Church.
Despite its peaceful position, Ponsworthy is well placed for travel, being only a short drive from the A38 Devon Expressway, linking Exeter, Plymouth and the wider motorway network. South Devon’s spectacular coastline and beaches can also be reached within an hour’s drive.
Description - Fernhill Cottage is an attractive stone-built period home forming part of a traditional terrace in this highly sought-after Dartmoor location. The property retains much of its original charm with features including exposed beams, a wood burner set within a feature fireplace and a separate garden, accessed via a track as well as traditional stone stores.
Accommodation - The accommodation extends over two storeys and is well proportioned, with flexibility for a variety of uses.
On the ground floor, the spacious sitting room spans the depth of the cottage, enjoying a dual aspect with a feature fireplace and exposed beams. The kitchen, positioned to the rear, is fitted with a range of wall and base units with space for appliances, and enjoys space for a dining table. An entrance hall with adjoining storage completes the ground floor.
The first floor offers two generous bedrooms, including a well-sized master bedroom to the front. To the rear is a family bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
Outside - Enjoying views across the village rooftops and onto the surrounding Dartmoor countryside, the garden is mainly laid to lawn. The lane used to access the garden from the house features the property's storage buildings. Traditional stone buildings provide ample storage space or could provide an opportunity for a workshop.
Services - Mains water, electricity and drainage. Electric storage heaters. Ofcom advises that there is ultrafast broadband and poor mobile coverage in the area.
