Description
Wisteria Cottage is attractively situated within the small peaceful rural community of Scorriton, near Holne on Dartmoor, surrounded by a beautiful green undulating landscape. The village has a traditional pub, The Tradesman's Arms, just a short stroll away, and a well supported Village Hall which holds frequent community events. Holne (15 minutes walk) has a well stocked village shop and pub. The towns of Ashburton (about 5 miles) and Buckfastleigh (about 3 miles) each provide a useful range of everyday shops and amenities. Although occupying a genuinely unspoilt moorland setting, Scorriton is readily accessible, with the A38 at Dartbridge just a little over 5 minutes by car bringing Plymouth and Exeter within convenient commuting distance.
The property is a well presented and characterful three bedroom cottage which as been very well maintained and updated by the current owner. In addition there is a one bedroom, reverse-level annexe which has been used in recent times as a popular holiday let.
The gardens are of a very good size and well landscaped, and there is an excellent off road parking area with electric gates.
