House For Sale £465,000
A truly stunning example of a Grade II Listed, detached character cottage situated within the sought-after village of Meeth. Believed to have been dated as far back as the 15th Century, the property has been sympathetically renovated throughout, leaving no stone un turned.
Completed to an exceptionally high standard, the property offers a blend of modern and contemporary fixtures and fittings, whilst retaining a wealth of period features, including exposed ceiling beams, impressive part exposed roof timbers, wood panelling, two inglenook fireplaces and deep silled windows.
Throughout the ground floor are attractive Oak floorboards and slate flooring with some wonderful original Oak panelling in the property's hallway. Doors open to an impressive open plan kitchen / living/ dining space, great for entertaining with hand-built cabinets, granite work surfaces, a butler sink, large dresser, range oven, integral dishwasher, complete with an island with sockets for USB and electric. There is also a stunning inglenook fireplace with a bread oven in the living area. Doors from the kitchen open to the front and side gardens and to a utility/ boot room, housing the substantial oil-fired boiler and a cloakroom. The other door off the hallway opens to a separate sitting room, with an abundance of exposed beams. The central feature of the room being the inglenook fireplace with a bread oven. A door leads down to a bright study and occasional fourth bedroom.
Upstairs the landing leads to the bedrooms, all with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. There is a generous dual aspect master suite with a spacious en-suite bathroom with a roll top bath, two further double bedrooms and a family shower room.
Outside, there are well tended gardens that wrap around the front and side. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with attractive hedge and flower boarders, offering a good degree of privacy. There is also ample off road parking.
This fine property is situated in the heart of the popular Devon village of Meeth which offers an active rural community within the Torridge Valley with the nearby parish church and popular Bull & Dragon Public House. Nearby is the popular Tarka Trail, perfect for keen cyclists and walkers, and also close by is a scenic nature reserve.
The property is within easy driving distance of the popular towns of Hatherleigh and Torrington for a good range of shops, services and amenities, with the larger town of Okehampton approximately eleven miles to the south providing a more extensive range of services and amenities.
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.
