Rural Chagford - 6.7 acres

Situation

The property is located less than 2 miles from the centre of Chagford and well within Dartmoor National Park. It is only about a mile from the high moor of Chagford Common & Kes Tor continuing along the dead end road that runs past the house itself. It is sheltered from the weather by the hill behind and enjoys great views from its own land. Chagford offers a great variety of independent shops, pubs, and eateries as well as a great selection of community clubs and activities. There is also an open air swimming pool operating during the summer months.

The A30 dual carriageway is 5.5 miles to the north, giving access to the beaches of Cornwall in the west and the Cathedral City of Exeter in the east with a wide variety of amenities and providing access to the M5, mainline railway and international airport.

Description

Woolfold Cottage forms part of what was once a single granite built longhouse believed to have been built in the thirteenth century. At some stage it was separated and in 1947 part of it burnt down and was rebuilt. It has since been extended a couple of times, most recently circa 2008, and offers spacious family accommodation over its two floors with a great sized Kitchen Diner/Family Room at its heart.

Externally it sits on a plot of approx 6.70 acres combining a number of private and secluded areas that incorporate an outside BBQ and entertaining area, pretty walled front garden, outbuildings and a sizeable 6.1 acre field above providing potential for equestrian use.

Accommodation

A part open storm porch provides storage for outside shoes or logs. The front door opens into the Entrance Lobby with stairs rising to the first floor. The lobby is open to the original Dining Room with its large granite fireplace but which is currently used more as an office/study. This leads through to the main Living Room with a matching and imposing granite fireplace housing a modern woodburner for those colder winter nights and with views over the pretty front garden.

Outside

To the front is a pretty walled and level garden with two gates from the council road. It has a granite lined path with roses and a small tree.

A further gate leads through to the side garden with a paved area with attractive granite walling leading to the BBQ and entertaining area and the terraced lawned garden with a number of shrubs and trees. There is also a granite outbuilding with two storage rooms with light and power connected.

Storage 1: 2.46m x 1.88m

Storage 2: 2.20m x 1.08m

Directions

From the main square in Chagford turn right into Mill Street and after about 100m follow it round to the left into Manor Road and continue down the hill and back up the other side. At the top of hill follow it to the left and take the right hand turn signposted Kestor and Thornworthy. Keep on this lane for about 1 mile, passing Yeo Farm and crossing the South Teign River. As you come round a sharp right hand bend there are two houses on the left hand side. The second one is Woolfold Cottage.
