We are pleased to market this detached, three-bedroom, Duchy Leasehold property located in a spectacular setting in Dartmoor national park. This home has been extensively renovated and improved by the current owners to offer a fantastic opportunity for those wanting a rural lifestyle.
Cumberlands House benefits from a large driveway with parking for numerous vehicles, detached garage, wooden studio building, and superb views onto open Moorland.
The living accommodation includes a generous entrance hall with cloakroom, 22' sitting/ dining room which incorporates an impressive granite fireplace with wood burner, and French doors into the sun room. The modern kitchen affords solid oak worktops, Belfast sink and a back door. The hall leads down the property past the original main bathroom which has been converted to offer a useful utility room. The ground floor also accommodates two bedrooms, including the principal bedroom which benefits from an en-suite bathroom with separate walk-in shower. On the first floor is another large double room with dual aspect windows that make the most of the moorland views.
Outside the property has lovely gardens which are apportioned into separate areas. There is a tiered section with mature shrubs and pond, and a large decked area which are perfectly positioned to enjoy the views. The property has a shared bore hole water supply and private drainage, and oil-fired central heating.
We understand the property is being sold as a Duchy of Cornwall leasehold. This is not uncommon with property sales in Dartmoor National Park and we would be happy to answer any questions you have regarding this.
The property currently holds a lease with 33 years left from a 99-year lease for the property and gardens, with an annual ground rent of £0.75. The vendors have enquired with the Duchy regarding the extension of the lease by a further 50 years and this has been approved in principle. There is a separate Duchy lease with 14 years remaining for the driveway with an annual ground rent of circa £451.
Duchy leasehold properties do not usually qualify for mainstream mortgage lending.
