SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

This fine property is located in the heart of the sought-after Dartmoor village of South Zeal.

South Zeal is a highly desirable Dartmoor National Park village which lies approximately 17 miles west of Exeter and 5 miles east of Okehampton. There are an excellent range of local amenities including a well renowned primary school, village stores, post office, church, recreation/playing field and two popular public houses. A more comprehensive range of local shopping and amenities can be found in Okehampton.

Okehampton lies on the northern edge of Dartmoor National Park. It is approximately 30 miles from both the north and south Devon coasts. There are superb local beauty spots where one may enjoy walking, riding and fishing. The shopping area contains several banks and supermarkets as well as many interesting locally owned shops. Primary and secondary education is well catered for in local schools. The recreation ground and park contains, amongst other things, a covered heated swimming pool. Most sports are available including 18 hole golf course, squash courts, indoor rifle range and thriving rugby and soccer clubs.

Beacon Lodge and Little Beacon offer a rare opportunity to purchase a prominent and historic property in the Dartmoor village of South Zeal. Formerly a village hotel and public house, Beacon Lodge is now an excellent family home, with very spacious living accommodation, including three reception rooms, large kitchen/dining room, utility room, office and ground floor shower room to the ground floor, six bedrooms and a bath/shower room to the first floor. Many of the bedrooms have wash hand basins, therefore meaning additional en-suite facilities could be added if so desired.

The property is presented in very good order and benefits from oil-fired central heating and PV solar panels, which provide free electricity and also a tax-free, index-linked income, from the selling electricity back to the Nation Grid. The feed-in tariff is at the high rate of 54.17 pence per unit and last year earnt approximately £2000.

To the rear of Beacon Lodge sits Little Beacon, a delightful and well-presented, reverse accommodation converted barn, comprising of: entrance hall, two ground floor double bedrooms and a ground floor bathroom. There are stairs rising to an open-plan kitchen and dining area with door leading to a cosy sitting room. There is oil fired central heating.

Little Beacon offers the prospective buyer excellent secondary accommodation to Beacon Lodge, or alternatively an excellent long-term/holiday let income.

To the rear of Beacon Lodge is a large patio seating area, leading to a central cobbled area, accessed via double wooden gates from the village lane, thus providing an off-road parking area. There is also a large two-storey barn with power and lighting connected. Currently used as a workshop, and could offer a number of other uses, including possible conversion to further accommodation, studio, work from home office etc, subject to the necessary consents being granted.

Immediately behind Little Beacon is a level, enclosed, south-facing garden, predominantly laid to lawn, with excellent views towards Dartmoor and Cawsand Beacon, from which the property name derives. There is also a further storage barn with power and lighting connected.

We are delighted to be appointed as sole agents in the sale of this impressive and unique property, which is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN and viewing is highly recommended.
