An impressive detached Victorian property, lovingly restored and renovated, situated on a quiet country lane near the village of Petrockstowe with a range of outbuildings, level gardens and far reaching views.

SITUATION Wonderfully positioned, just off a quiet country lane near the pretty village of Petrockstowe, the property is surrounded by open countryside and enjoys some breathtaking views of the area and towards the Devon Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve and with riding stables just a short distance down the country lane.

Petrockstowe enjoys a good mixture of period and modern properties, as well as a local Church, Chapel, Public House (The Laurels) and a children’s play park. The village provides a thriving and friendly community with a Village Hall where numerous groups and clubs meet, including an Art Club, a Women’s Group, a History Group, Garden Club and Cricket Club. The village is also on a long distance cycle route, famously known as The Tarka Trail, which attracts a number of additional visitors to the Village throughout the year. Primary education is catered for in the nearby Town of Hatherleigh and Villages of Merton with Merton also providing pre-school facilities. Many other amenities are available in the nearby market towns of Hatherleigh and Great Torrington to the north and Okehampton to the south providing High Street and supermarket shopping including Waitrose. Just beyond lies the A30 dual carriageway giving good access east to Exeter and the M5 motorway, or west into Cornwall. Just to the south side and only 15 minutes away is the Dartmoor National Park and the North Devon coast at Westward-Ho can be reached in half an hour.
