THE PROPERTY

Churchgate Cottage is a Grade II Listed home, part of which was formerly the village post office. This has now been absorbed into the accommodation making it a cottage of generous proportions. There is both a sitting room and lounge plus the kitchen/breakfast room and four bedrooms upstairs. All the rooms except the bathroom have a south facing window for good natural light. Features include two stone fireplaces with woodburning stoves, a fitted kitchen locally built of elm, some exposed structural timbers and good decorative order throughout. Night storage heaters and electric radiators provide background heating. The garden is over 180’ long and just under 50’ wide. It is divided into three adjoining sections and has a long western frontage for plenty of sunshine. Parking for two vehicles is possible at the front of the cottage.

SITUATION

A south facing cottage in a sunny elevated position with some views to the Teign valley and surrounding countryside. Knowle Lane is a quiet residential road which does not lead to anywhere and the cottage is a level walk through the churchyard to the village square. Drewsteignton is a lively community with all age groups, an active parish church, a pub with regular live music and a good post office and shop. The ancient stannary town of Chagford is just 5 miles away and the A30 dual carriageway is about 4 miles. Primary schooling is in Chagford and senior schooling in Okehampton with school bus services provided. The county town of Exeter is approximately 12 miles.
