Situation

26 Lower Street is located down a short alleyway and is in an off-street setting at the end of a terrace of three.

The bustling town square is only a short walk away where there is a wide variety of day to day and specialist shops, four pubs, cafes and restaurant. Chagford has a Parish church, Roman Catholic church and chapel, a Primary school, pre-school and Montessori, a library and surgeries for doctor, dentist and vet. The A30 dual carriageway is about 5 miles away and Exeter is approximately 20 miles.

Exterior

Garden

This 59'/17.98m garden has a very long west facing boundary wall and because the ground drops away a little behind the wall there are the most magnificent views across the Teign Valley to the high moor which gives the garden plenty of sunshine, especially in the summertime. The garden is laid just to grass at present but there is ample space for a vegetable and fruit garden if desired.
