Situated just on the fringe of the villages of South Zeal and Sticklepath and within easy walking distance of open moorland and amenities, this charming two-bedroom character cottage with a substantial rear garden offers an exciting opportunity. Although in need of some updating and modernisation, the property presents a great chance to own a quintessential Dartmoor cottage within this highly sought-after location. The previous owner of the cottage was a carpenter and joiner, and his work is evident all around the property. The kitchen includes bespoke, hand-crafted units which really add to the charm and history of the property and would look fabulous if restored. Also on the ground floor is a large eighteen-foot-long sitting room with inglenook fireplace and inset wood burning stove. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one of which has its own dressing room, as well as a bathroom. A further study / storeroom provides useful flex space. The outside space at this property needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. At the front is a small courtyard area with a useful timber log store and to the rear is a surprisingly substantial garden with a large area of lawn and some lovely established trees and shrubs as well as a pond at the far end, shaded by an impressive Gunnera. There is a pedestrian right of way for the owners of this property around one neighbouring property for access to the garden. Situated on the fringes of the picturesque and sought after villages of South Zeal and Sticklepath, the property has access to local primary schools, general stores and Post Office as well as several pubs and churches. The town of Okehampton is only a short drive away and offers secondary schooling, supermarkets and retail outlets as well as a useful rail link to Exeter. By car there is easy access to the A30 corridor putting Exeter within a comfortable 20 to 25 minutes’ drive away. The nearby moorland towns of Moretonhampstead and Chagford are also relatively easy to access from here by car. There is on street parking nearby.
