3 bed detached house for sale

Bow Lane, Newton Abbot TQ13

Steeped in history and character, The Old Wool Store is one of the few remaining buildings associated with Moretonhampstead's once-thriving wool industry. Mentioned in the book Memories of Moretonhampstead, this fascinating home has been thoughtfully reconfigured and improved by the current owner to create a unique and versatile living space combining period charm with modern comforts.

Situated in the heart of this popular Dartmoor town, the property offers deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a spacious double guest bedroom with a cleverly designed, tucked-away en-suite shower room with WC, a useful utility cupboard housing the washing machine and boiler, and a versatile reception room which could be used as a dining room, study, snug or occasional fourth bedroom.

The first floor has been transformed to create a stunning open-plan living space extending across the entire floor. The rustically appointed kitchen/breakfast area flows seamlessly into the sitting and dining spaces, creating a wonderful environment for modern living and entertaining. A feature, whole wall length line of windows, flood the room with natural light, whilst a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point. From here, there are attractive views towards Easdon Tor and the surrounding Dartmoor countryside.

The entire second floor has been thoughtfully converted to create a stunning principal suite, comprising a spacious bedroom and stylish contemporary bathroom. Positioned high within the property, these rooms enjoy far-reaching panoramic views across the rolling landscapes of Dartmoor, creating a truly special retreat. The elevated setting allows the ever-changing countryside vistas to become an integral part of daily life, offering a sense of space, tranquillity and connection with the surrounding landscape.

A particular feature of the property is the additional workshop, gym or studio space located to the rear. Benefiting from both a separate external entrance and direct access from the first-floor living accommodation, this versatile area offers excellent potential for home working, creative pursuits, fitness or storage. Above, a private roof terrace/sundeck provides the perfect spot to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Outside, the enclosed walled garden offers a private and sheltered setting for gardening, entertaining and outdoor dining. It also benefits from a pretty garden studio retreat. The current owner has acquired a barn opposite the property across Bow Lane, providing valuable off-road parking and additional storage-an increasingly rare asset within the centre of Moretonhampstead.

Moretonhampstead is one of Dartmoor's most desirable market towns, offering a thriving community with independent shops, cafés, pubs, a primary school, library and open-air swimming pool. Surrounded by spectacular moorland, woodland and river valleys, the area provides endless opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding and outdoor pursuits, whilst Exeter is only around 15 miles away.

The Old Wool Store is a truly individual home, offering a rare combination of history, character and modern lifestyle living in one of Dartmoor National Park's most sought-after locations.
