Details MAIN PARAGRAPH
This former forester's house features a well presented/maintained PVCu double glazed, oil fired centrally heated, 2 reception room, 3 bedroom semi-detached residence with exceptionally well maintained grounds including south facing rear garden, paddock adjoining Cookworthy Forest, garage, off road parking for numerous cars, very versatile workshop and some far reaching views. The whole property is some 0.37 acres in a convenient location with good access to Holsworthy and Okehampton/A30.

THE RESIDENCE
One of 10 houses originally built for forestry workers at Cookworthy Moor, this is only the second time in some 60 years that No.20 has become available on the market. As with the other forestry houses, it is of pine clad/brick construction and has been much improved/refurbished by the present vendors (the exterior elevations have just been re-painted with Sadoline). It offers accommodation which benefits from nice high ceilings of about 8ft, and briefly comprises:- Storm Porch, Entrance Hall, Living Room, Dining Room

(currently used as a Study), Kitchen, Utility Room, Cloakroom, First Floor Landing, 3 Bedrooms, and Bath/Shower Room.

LOCATION
Forest Houses are conveniently situated between the market town of Holsworthy, and the popular village of Halwill Junction which between them offer an excellent range of shops, schooling, recreational facilities, and professional services, as well being on the Bude to Exeter bus route with a bus stop being located opposite the property. From the property you have direct access into Cookworthy Forest which has lovely walks/rides, and is rich in wildlife. Okehampton and the A30 is a 20 minute drive with good access onto Exeter/M5. Holsworthy is in the heart of 'Ruby Country', named after the famous local Red Ruby cattle, and its excellent website www.rubycountry.com is well worth a visit.

DIRECTIONS TO FIND
From Holsworthy take the A3072 towards Hatherleigh for 4 miles and upon reaching Dunsland Cross, turn right signed Halwill. Continue along this road for about 2 miles and the Forest Houses will be clearly found on the left hand side with a Bond Oxborough Phillips 'For Sale' notice clearly displayed on the roadside, and also at the private road that serves the properties.
