This granite built property, which was once two dwellings, is located away from the main thoroughfare of Postbridge village in a quiet position within the Dartmoor National Park and is hidden from view. The property has been transformed into a comfortable home with large living spaces, bedrooms on the ground and first floor plus a cosy snug and rooms yet to be developed, presenting an opportunity to suit the requirements of a purchaser. This 1920's bungalow benefits from a recently replaced roof with modern insulation and slates in keeping with the period design, main electrics, private drainage and water, a recently installed wood burning stove which heats the water and in the main areas of the house there is a modern gravity fed hot water cylinder, Sunflow thermostatic controlled electric radiators and further insulation measures. All of the windows and doors have been recently replaced with high quality fully double glazed units and there are also Velux windows on the first floor. The property can be entered from four areas and therefore could be separated into different living areas for a large family. Outside, the garden and field are full of attractive shrubs, trees and flowers with a small bridged leat giving the property its name, plus a granite stone ruin which was once a pub called 'The Good Intent'. The property is surrounded by formal gardens, adjacent to which is a meadow and area of wetland. Across the way is a vegetable garden and paddock plus several useful outbuildings. LOCATION Postbridge itself has a shop/post office, an inn, church and village hall and also a National Park Visitor Information Centre with large car park. Being in the very centre of the Dartmoor National Park, therefore the location offers ample opportunity for a wide range of outdoor pursuits.
