Description
Woolfold Cottage forms part of what was once a single granite built longhouse believed to have been built in the thirteenth century. At some stage it was separated and in 1947 part of it burnt down and was rebuilt. It has since been extended a couple of times, most recently circa 2008, and offers spacious family accommodation over its two floors with a great sized Kitchen Diner/Family Room at its heart. Externally it sits on a plot of approx 6.70 acres combining a number of private and secluded areas that incorporate an outside BBQ and entertaining area, pretty walled front garden, outbuildings and a sizeable 6.1 acre field above providing potential for equestrian use.

Accommodation
A part open storm porch provides storage for outside shoes or logs. The front door opens into the Entrance Lobby with stairs rising to the first floor. The lobby is open to the original Dining Room with its large granite fireplace but which is currently used more as an office/study. This leads through to the main Living Room with a matching and imposing granite fireplace housing a modern woodburner for those colder winter nights and with views over the pretty front garden.

To the rear is the delightful Kitchen Diner/Family Room which forms the heart of the dwelling, having been added around 2010. It centers around the Kitchen and island which offers a range of storage units under granite work surfaces with space for appliances and incorporates a breakfast bar. There is also an attractive larder cupboard built into the original wall. The room benefits from a good deal of natural light from the high level and skylight windows. Alongside the Kitchen and Dining Areas is a Family seating area to relax in.

Located just off this room is a good sized Boot Room with a door to a large tiled wet room and also a door out to the side garden and providing access to the external Utility/Music Room which also forms part of the extensions.The stairs from the Lobby rise to a first floor landing which offers good display shelving and incorporates an area for a small desk/study looking to the rear. There is access to four large double bedrooms and a single bedroom and the spacious modern family Bathroom with dual sinks and a separate shower cubicle as well as the modern bath. WC, and vanity storage units.

Outside
To the front is a pretty walled and level garden with two gates from the council road. It has a granite lined path with roses and a small tree.A further gate leads through to the side garden with a paved area with attractive granite walling leading to the BBQ and entertaining area and the terraced lawned garden with a number of shrubs and trees. There is also a granite outbuilding with two storage rooms with light and power connected.Storage 1: 2.46m x 1.88mStorage 2: 2.20m x 1.08m

The path continues round to the side of the rear Kitchen/Boot Room with a clever covered area providing excellent outdoor storage for wet weather gear. From here there are stone steps leading up to a small Orchard area with fruit trees and a Vegetable garden with a gate leading through into the large field behind. The field is sloping but has been used both for equestrian purposes and also for livestock by the current owners. It can be accessed from either a lower gate adjacent to No 1 Old Walls or from the top of the field along a track owned by Woolfold Cottage. A neighbouring farm has a right of way along this track only.

From the top of the field and track there is access and a right of way to the Mariners Way which joins up with the Two Moors Way nearby. Obviously there is therefore excellent walking straight from the property or riding out from Chagford Common which is only a mile further up the dead end council road.On the opposite side of the road is a turn in with parking for a couple of vehicles as well as a granite Garage/Store (4.30m x 2.44m).
