House For Sale £695,000
4 The Acre is a well built detached home built about 40 years ago. It is a virtually level walk to the bustling town square and it sits on a mature, level garden plot with extensive granite landscaping features and views to the moor and countryside. On the ground floor the house features a large granite entrance porch, an entrance hall, cloakroom/w.c., a big, bright living room, a generous retro style kitchen/breakfast room with convenient internal access to the large double garage. Upstairs there is a bright landing, three good double bedrooms and a single bedroom with built in wardrobes and a family bathroom. Behind the garage are some useful integral storage spaces and there is parking for two cars on the driveway to the side of the house. There is a level lawn, well stocked shrubberies, hedges for privacy and a level vegetable garden with a greenhouse. Fowlers very strongly recommend viewing this conveniently located home.
Situation
The Acre is ideally situated in Chagford to offer both level access to the excellent amenities the town has to offer and easy access to the surrounding fields and commons. Being slightly elevated above the road on a sunny plot, No.4 also offers some great views to the Dartmoor countryside and the moor. The ancient Stannary town of Chagford offers a wide variety of day to day and specialist shops, four pubs, cafes and restaurant and a bustling town square. There is a Primary school, pre-school and Montessori, a library, Parish church, Roman Catholic church and chapel and surgeries for doctor, dentist and vet. The town is surrounded by countryside, riverside and moorland walks and the sports facilities are excellent with football and cricket pitches, a tennis club, bowling club, skate park, children's play park and an open air swimming pool in the summertime. The A30 dual carriageway is about 5 miles away and Exeter is about 20 miles.
