Property description

Tastefully and sympathetically decorated whilst retaining much of its original charm and character including picture rails, original fireplaces and flooring. The property is of cavity wall construction under a burnt slate roof with well appointed accommodation benefiting from oil fired central heating with radiators throughout and the windows together with the conservatory are double glazed.  Outside the grounds offer a lovely mixture of lawns and mature borders with a sweeping tree lined entrance drive.  There is a range of outbuildings which include loose boxes and a hay/store barn.  The whole sits in some 8.28 acres and benefits from access to the ‘Ruby Way’ cycle track and bridleway.
 
SITUATION
Located only a three minute drive from the thriving market town of Holsworthy which has an excellent range of amenities including a Waitrose supermarket, banks, leisure centre, primary and secondary schools. The A30 dual carriageway and the former market town of Okehampton is about 20 miles distant and the M5 motorway can be found just beyond the cathedral city of Exeter, which is approximately 45 miles to the east. The dramatic Dartmoor National Park provides superb walking and riding opportunities, whilst the north Cornish and Devon coasts are both within an easy driving distance.
