SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Located pretty much in the centre of Dartmoor National Park and therefore ideally situated for those looking for a break amidst the 365 square miles of open wilderness, or as a family home from which to enjoy an idyllic lifestyle, The Cherrybrook offers the perfect combination of versatile accommodation balanced with outside space in a most wonderful position.
Named after the nearby Cherry brook, the property dates back around 200 years or so and has much to offer either as a multi-generational family home or home with income.
Sitting adjacent to the B3212, one of Dartmoor’s main arterial routes, it is ideally located as a base from which to explore the moors and surrounding countryside. Aside from the B&B or self-catering potential, there are opportunities for cream teas, events (weddings and other parties), pizza evenings or any number of other income-generating possibilities.
The existing accommodation, which has recently been re-roofed, includes four ensuite letting rooms, a one bedroomed self-catering apartment and spacious three ensuite bedroomed owners’ accommodation.
Outside, the grounds amount to just over 3 acres in all with gardens and paddock areas, driveway, stables and what is known as ‘the outhouse’ a versatile building used as a music venue with bar.
Nearby is the historic Wistman’s Wood, an area of ancient Dartmoor woodland, and the village of Postbridge is just two and a half miles away. Surrounded by open moors and Tors the area has a hugely rich cultural and historic background – The Hound of the Baskerville’s was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the Old Duchy Hotel in Princetown and is believed to be based in this area of the moor. There are many stone and bronze age settlements recorded with numerous places being evident to this day.
The property is being sold as a Duchy leasehold*.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
