  • The Accommodation
    The Accommodation Five bedrooms Utility (one en suite) Garage Bathroom and WC Parking Shower room and WC Delightful garden Sitting room Beautiful views Large lounge/dining Double glazing room Oil fired CH Kitchen/breakfast room Description A substantial family home in the centre of this charming village on the southern slopes of Dartmoor. Playcroft was originally three thatched properties dating back at least two centuries and the history of ownership goes back well over a hundred years. During the twentieth century the houses were converted into one unit and the roof rebuilt to a more modern standard. Playcross has a very attractive rear elevation which looks out over the main garden which is a delightful and fairly level lawn interspersed with a number of colourful trees and shrubs. The present owners, who have lived in Playcroft for many years, take a delight in their garden and it is a profusion of colour in the spring and early summer. In addition to the back is a further large garden to the side of the property which also has an area of lawn, flowers, a large variety of plants and is enclosed by mature beech hedgerows and fencing. In this part of the garden is the detached, single garage, large woodshed (which is large enough to take a table tennis table), greenhouse and small outhouse immediately behind the house with its own fireplace. This outhouse is block built, and also has a quarry tiled floor, storage heater, power and light and a lean to coal/woodstore adjoining it. There are some lovely views from the garden and particularly from the first floor windows to the property.
