3 bedroom detached house for sale

A detached cottage brimming with CHARACTER and benefiting from modern comforts such as gas fired central heating and attractive outside space with GATED OFF-ROAD PARKING and a detached outbuilding, sited in a peaceful and charming location close to village amenities.

A charming, detached cottage which is hidden from view down a lane and away from the main thoroughfare in this historic village in Dartmoor National Park. An attractive stone-built property, which we assume was built in the 1800's and then later extended around 20 years ago creating further living space and first floor bedroom. The home benefits from notable character along with modern comforts including mains gas central heating, PVCu double glazing and a natural gas flame stove (fitted in 2018) within the original fireplace in the sitting room. The cottage has been improved in recent years with the addition of a new roof and a further window added to the sitting room, creating further light and a dual aspect. The boot room/utility, which is to the side of the kitchen, has been installed and there is now fitted cupboards and worktops. The internal space has also been painted and beautifully presented.

The outside space is private with attractive areas of garden including a second, gated off-road parking area and paved terrace. There is also a pond and detached small barn which is stone built and offers mains power and lighting which is currently used as workshop/utility. There is a further wooden garden store along the rear boundary which is ideal for garden tools etc. Along the western boundary is a lawned area which is where the evening sun can be enjoyed and is ideal for a table and chairs. On the side elevation is a further gate which opens back to the unmade lane. The unmade lane itself continues past the property to the Blackbrook stream which runs through the village of Walkhampton. The lane provides access to a land owner beyond and, we understand, is used approximately once a day. The rear boundary is a Devon Bank and backs onto a field providing a sense of space from the garden and rear/side windows.

The cottage is ideal for those who want to feel part of the village but still beautifully secluded in its own mini oasis. The accommodation comprises porch, cloakroom, hall, home office/bedroom, sitting room, kitchen/dining room including Rangemaster electric oven with five-ring gas hob and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, and boot room/utility. To the first floor is a long landing, two further bedrooms and a stylish bathroom with separate shower enclosure.

The centre of the village is around the corner from the house with a village pub called the Walkhampton Inn. There is also a small primary school, church, garage, bus stop and a Saturday market with local produce etc. The open moors of Dartmoor are also walking distance from the cottage making this an ideal spot of those who enjoy outdoor pursuits. Walkhampton is 1.5 miles from Yelverton where there is an array of amenities and supermarket plus a petrol station, doctors’ surgery, and pharmacy. The thriving market town of Tavistock, with its range of restaurants and cafés, pannier market, shops, and schools, is only 15 minutes by car. Plymouth city is approximately 20 minutes by road and Exeter is just under an hour.

DIRECTIONS
From our Yelverton office proceed to the village on the B3212. Take the 1st turning on the left signposted to Walkhampton and follow the road. Upon reaching the village we would advise parking by the war memorial in the centre of the village due to the hidden location of the cottage. Before the pub courtyard/car park bear right towards Blackbrook Close. Continue past the back of the pub garden, and Blackbrook Close, onto the unmade lane where the property will be found tucked away down a dead end on the right after a short distance.
