Within the 368 square miles of Dartmoor are plenty of small
villages. Villages that date back for hundreds of years and in many
examples, the facades of the houses are the same now as they were
then. Throwleigh is one of those. A sought after village with its
pretty church and not too remote, just 4 miles to the A30 at
Whiddon Down. Although properties do come up for sale here, this
one is a little different. A semi detached cottage with a good
sized garden and even with parking and a garage quite rare! but it
s the paddock and outbuildings opposite that make this a
particularly good find. The house does need updating but with what
s on offer, it s easy to see what it could be!
The house is likely to be made of local granite, it was the
former forge and more recently used as the village post office. As
mentioned, it does need updating throughout. It isn t listed but is
within the National Park. There is oil fired central heating, mains
water and drainage and a gorgeous wood burner to the living room.
The layout offers a living room, dining room, kitchen and a utility
rear access although this hasn t been used for a few years. On the
first floor are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside, the garden wraps around the rear of the adjoining
property so there is off road parking and a garage and then the
garden continues to the rear of the property. In total, the plot is
approx. 0.2 acres on the house side. Across the quiet country lane
are a couple of outbuildings, consisting of a barn 7.5m in length
and a further store 6.207m x 3.072m opposite the property.
Additionally, there is a right of way giving access to the half
acre paddock. A 5 bar gate gives access over the driveway into the
paddock itself. There are raised beds, the aforementioned barn and
the rest of the paddock is bordered by trees and is mainly grass.
It would be ideal for those looking for a large garden or to keep a
few animals. Worth noting is the possibility subject to permissions
to put in a new access from the country lane to the paddock
A great house with huge potential and the rare benefit of its
own paddock, yes it needs work but it will be a lovely Dartmoor
home when it is done.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
