House For Sale £550,000
An historic detached residence, built around 200 years ago with a long-gated driveway, sizeable surrounding gardens, and enviable living space, set in the Dartmoor National Park and yards from open moors.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Set on a large plot of approximately third of an acre and built of solid granite in the early 1800’s offering spacious living space with high ceilings and large windows creating an elegant home, perfect for a large family or potential multigenerational living. The house is set back at the end of a long private drive, providing parking for multiple vehicles which is perfectly framed by mature trees, and planted borders. The drive extends to the entrance and the gardens of the property which encompass the home. To the western side is a further gated area with a detached former garage which is 17’10 x 10’5 and is currently used for storage but offers potential for workshop/hobby room. To the rear is a large lawned area, which is set down from the house, with wild meadow and space for seating. There is also a fenced area with chicken coup, vegetable patch with greenhouse and a series of small outbuildings, ideal for those who want to have a slice of the ‘good life,’ as the current owners have enjoyed. The garden continues around to eastern side where there is a further lawn and a gate back to the front drive.
The property is in good order and has been improved in recent years and we have been advised the roof was replaced in 2018. The current owner has also improved and refurbished the bathrooms in the last couple of years and the breakfast room/utility in 2021. The scale and size of the rooms are a particular feature, providing a sense of space which echoes through the house. There are three main reception rooms with large windows plus kitchen with double doors to the dining room. To the rear of the house is a breakfast room with utility area and excellent storage, making it the perfect room to remove boots/coats after being on the moors. There is also a toilet at the front of the house with a second entrance. At the end of the reception hall is a stylish bathroom with separate shower and corner bath. The cellar, which is accessed from the reception hall, is also incredibly useful with two rooms which offer further storage and were once used for storing coal and wood with a shoot from the outside. There is a wood burning stove in the sitting room for warming a winters’ night plus central heating from a Worcester boiler which was last serviced in February 2023. To the first floor is a spacious landing with an airing cupboard and a series of storage cupboards at the rear of the landing. There are five bedrooms, one of which is a large single, plus again another contemporary bathroom.
The house is positioned at the quieter end of the village with a gate out onto the open moors in the road opposite. The village offers excellent amenities plus a primary school a short distance from the door.
Princetown is a unique village set in the Dartmoor National Park with a National Park Visitor Centre. The village provides shopping facilities, cafes, a public house, and a Primary School which is the hub of the local community. The thriving market town of Tavistock is 7 miles away with ample shopping, educational and recreational facilities. There is a regular bus service to and from the city of Plymouth which is 14 miles distant.
