SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION The property is situated within the Dartmoor National Park and in walking distance of the moorland village of Throwleigh. The former market town of Okehampton lies 7 miles to the west and easy access to the A30 provides a swift route to the cathedral city of Exeter 20 miles to the east.

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 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.

Believed to have been built in the late 19th century, this delightful example of a moorland cottage has been extended and greatly improved by the current owner. The property while retaining many period features also benefits from the comforts associated with contemporary living.

In brief the accommodation comprises, welcoming entrance hall; kitchen/dining room with Stanley range; conservatory with underfloor heating; sitting room with granite fireplace and multi fuel stove; two double bedrooms, one with ensuite; a cloakroom and a separate bathroom.
