SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION A detached Victorian Parsonage set back down a leafy driveway, surrounded by private gardens which extend to approximately one and half acres and located in this historic moorland village which has been quoted to be "the heart of Dartmoor." We understand the house was built originally in 1899 and is offered to the market as a Freehold property and has been under the current ownership since 1976.

The home was extended by the current owner in 1988 on the rear elevation creating a study/family room with a door to the garden. The house also offers two large outbuildings, a detached 38 ft long garage/workshop and an unfinished detached indoor swimming pool which requires complete renovation. To the rear of the house is a hard tennis court and lawns with established trees and shrubs along with two timber sheds/wood stores. Internally, the house has notable character including beamed ceilings, an original granite fireplace in the sitting room, wood burning stove in the dining room and an entrance areas with mahogany floor. The home is also warmed by an oil fired central heating system and wooden windows with bespoke secondary glazing.

The accommodation comprises of porch, reception hall, study/family room, wc, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, lobby, pantry/utility, cloakroom and a rear porch. To the 1st floor is a good size landing with an area for a desk, four bedrooms, shower room and a bathroom. The house is ideally situated a short walk to the Postbridge post office/ village stores, village hall, public house and the famous clapper bridge.

The property is also approximately 25miles from Plymouth and 30 miles from Exeter making it ideal for commuting and connecting onto the main train line into London Paddington. The nearest supermarket is approximately 8 miles away in Moretonhampstead and Tavistock is approximately 12 miles away where there a further array of shops, bars and restaurants. The house offers a rare opportunity to own a moorland retreat within Dartmoor National Park with beautiful grounds, moorland countryside views and outbuildings, which is close to amenities and is NOT a Duchy Lease.
