Description
Churston Cottage is an end property in a row of three and has origins believed to date back several centuries. Behind its pretty stone and slate hung elevations lies an interior brimming with character.
The living room features a large stone fireplace with a cosy wood-burner and there are modern bespoke ceiling beams. The kitchen-diner has a timbered ceiling and exposed stonework to one wall, along which stands a gas-fired AGA.
Outside, there is a small front reception garden and a larger enclosed rear garden laid out for ease of maintenance and with a useful gated driveway providing off-road parking for one car.
Higher Dean forms part of Dean Prior village, a semi-rural parish within the South Hams just off the A38 between Plymouth and Exeter. It lies on the southern edge of Dartmoor National Park and there are picturesque walks on the doorstep within the high-hedged Devon lanes that lead up to the moor. The nearby (5 minutes by car) town of Buckfastleigh has a range of everyday shops and amenities, as does South Brent (10 minutes by car) whilst the larger town of Totnes (20 minutes by car) has a wide range of shops, a supermarket and mainline railway station.
