Semi-detached house for sale in North Bovey, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13

A superb, recently converted cottage set in just over 1.5 acres in the Dartmoor National Park.

Brook Cottage is one of a pair of stone-built, semi-detached Victorian cottages with attractive redbrick detailing around their windows and doors. The main part of the cottage's ground floor consists of a single, open plan living room and kitchen. It is about 35ft long and has an impressive Nordic woodburning stove fitted centrally within the seating area, underfloor heating and exposed brickwork. The kitchen area is fitted with Shaker-style units including a breakfast bar and a range of built-in electric appliances and a Smeg range cooker.

Outside, the cottage has private parking bays for two cars. In addition, it has a garden with two paved terraces, one supporting a hot tub and an outside dining area and the other a rooftop terrace with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Beyond the garden is a large, open paddock containing two field shelters and a storage shed, with direct access onto the moor.

Brook Cottage has a peaceful setting on the eastern edge of Dartmoor, about half a mile from the small village of North Bovey, which is a thriving community with a parish church and popular pub (The Ring of Bells Inn, Tripadvisor 4.5). Most day to day needs can be met in the nearby market town of Moretonhampstead or the larger market town of Chagford. For wider requirements the larger town of Okehampton and the cathedral city of Exeter are both within a reasonable driving distance. Chagford is known for its arts community, celebrated through an annual series of film, literary, music and craft festivals plus other regular cultural events.

The area also has good transport links with direct rail services from Exeter St Davids to both Paddington and Waterloo and Exeter Airport offers a regular, one-hour service to London City Airport.

There is a wide choice of schools in the local area from both the state and independent sectors. Highly regarded, local independent schools include Exeter Cathedral School, The Maynard School and Exeter School.
