"A 2 bedroom period cottage with self-contained 1 bedroom annexe and garden, all superbly presented and located close to the Square
Cottage: Living Room with Granite Fireplace, Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms, Bathroom, Courtyard. Granite Barn Annexe: Living Room and Kitchen Corner, Bedroom and Bathroom. Garden.
13 Lower Street is an end-terrace period cottage that has all the period character one would expect of such a cottage in Chagford but with the significant and unusual addition of a granite-built former barn at the rear. This has been cleverly converted to provide very comfortable self contained occasional one bedroom accommodation with its own living room and fitted kitchen area.
The entire property has been thoughtfully and thoroughly upgraded to a high standard that provides charm and comfort. Between the cottage and the barn annexe there is a small paved courtyard and at ther rear of the barn there is a pleasant lawned garden with rose arbour and pretty flower beds. The cottage has gas central heating as well as a fine granite inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove.
The picturesque old market town of Chagford lies deep in the Dartmoor National Park and is a superb location from which to access the open spaces of the high moor as well as the wooded, pastoral landscape of the nearby Teign Valley. With a thriving community, it has a comprehensive range of shops and other facilities including banks, inns, a primary school, medical and veterinary facilities, churches and a garage. Despite the deeply rural atmosphere of the town, the A30 dual carriageway is only approximately 5 miles away for easy access to the motorway and rail networks as well as the cathedral city of Exeter where all major facilities can be found. There are good public transport links between Chagford and Exeter, Newton Abbot and Okehampton. Local sporting facilities include clubs for cricket, football, bowls and swimming as well as a golf course at the Bovey Castle hotel nearby.
