LOCATION
Located at Chagford Cross, the property occupies a prime position half mile from the centre of Moretonhampstead whilst enjoying uninterrupted views over Dartmoor National Park. Moretonhampstead is an ancient wool town including some fine buildings including the solid granite alms houses and the impressive St Andrews Church with its imposing tower. The thriving community and artistic vibe of the town draws in residents and visitors from all over the country. This vibrant gateway town offers a wealth of local amenities, and the rugged beauty of the high moor is right on the doorstep. The cathedral city of Exeter is 12 miles distant, and offers excellent schooling, a mainline train station to London Paddington and access to the M5 motorway.

The nearby town of Chagford is regarded as one of the most sought after and popular towns within the Dartmoor National Park, with an excellent range of local amenities. There are a wide variety of shops, including a delicatessen, and a selection of pubs and restaurants, with the renowned Gidleigh Park Hotel nearby. Dartmoor is home to some spectacular scenery, with granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys perfect for walking, riding, fishing and other outdoor recreation.

THE PROPERTY
Cross Park is a handsome, detached home that captures the essence of Edwardian elegance. The arrival is suitably impressive, with an entrance porch featuring an original tiled floor, and double glazed doors opening through to a welcoming reception hall with parquet flooring.

There are three reception rooms, all generously proportioned and all double-aspect, with high ceiling and period features. The drawing room is a particular highlight offering breath taking views, a window seat and a wood burner set in an attractive fire place and recess. The study offers a peaceful retreat with further moorland views and French doors leading to the veranda and gardens beyond. The dining room, with period features and lovely views, has an open fire.

The kitchen/breakfast room centres around the Aga whilst offering a wide range of wall, base and drawer units. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous utility room with a pantry, access to the gardens and a secondary back staircase, rising to the first floor.

The main central staircase rises to the generous first floor landing. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room, in addition to a sun lounge, which could be used as a dressing room or converted into a bathroom. A further staircase rises to the second floor and a further fifth double bedroom.

OUTSIDE
The approach to Cross Park is via double wooden gates set between stone pillars, opening onto a gravel driveway providing parking for several cars. A detached double garage also offers a workshop and storage.

The mature south west facing gardens offer a high degree of privacy and sun throughout the day and are largely laid to lawn with a selection of mature trees, including a productive plum tree, numerous apple trees and raspberry canes, shrubs and colourful planting. Immediately adjoining the house is a beautiful wrap around terrace, partially covered with an elegant veranda.
