Moor Lane, Bovey Tracey, TQ13

STEP INSIDE:
This charming property was built in the 1920s and has been in the current owners family for the last 40 years. Still oozing with character, with its wooden floors and high ceilings, it would benefit from some updating throughout but has been well looked after and is ready for someone to put their own stamp on it.
A covered storm porch welcomes you into a generous entrance hall where stairs ascend to the first floor. A bright dining room, bathed in light from a large window overlooking the gardens flows seamlessly into the good sized lounge, where a wood burner promises cosy evenings and a door returns to the hallway. Wooden French doors open to a private paved side patio.

The kitchen/breakfast room offers a practical layout with a dining area at one end, for a table and chairs. There are some fitted cupboards, worktops, and a sink at one end and currently presented with freestanding units, can be left or removed as required. The Smokeless Anthracite, Rayburn is ideal for days when you don’t want to put the main heating on. A walk in airing cupboard has a hot water cylinder and ample linen storage. A door leads to the utility room, complete with a sink and space for appliances. A door leads to the garden and an external cupboard with a wall-mounted, Worcester, gas boiler. (installed 2018)

The main bedroom is a spacious retreat, featuring wooden French doors to the patio and an en-suite bathroom with a bath, separate shower cubicle, basin, and WC. Currently a snug and library for the owner, it’s brimming with potential. A second double bedroom with a door to the spacious cloakroom, also accessed from the hallway completes the downstairs living space.

Upstairs, there is a large double bedroom with dual-aspect windows flooded with natural light and views over the garden, plus a small double bedroom and a bathroom with a panelled bath, basin, and WC. A small door opens to a boarded loft room with a Velux window—an exciting prospect for conversion, subject to planning permission.

SELLERS INSIGHT:
‘This has been a genuinely loved family home, and since it was built in the 1920s, two of its owners have each lived here over 40 years, which says a lot. From the garden it always feels secluded, looking out onto oak trees and giant redwoods across the road, bluebells in the spring and apples in the autumn. The sun follows you around the house from the kitchen in the morning, and around the bay windows and French doors and back to the kitchen in the afternoon. There’s a bridlepath (Templer Way) two minutes away that will take you right up to the moor.’

Garden

STEP OUTSIDE:
Upon entrance to the plot lies a charming private garden, enveloped by lush greenery that creates a serene retreat. French doors from both the lounge and the main bedroom open onto a paved patio, ideal for quiet relaxation. This inviting outdoor space extends to the rear of the property, where a former vegetable garden offers potential for a home vegetable patch to be created again. A timber garage, spacious enough for one car plus additional equipment, stands ready for use—and with room to extend, it could transform into a larger garage or a bespoke workshop to suit your needs.
