Description
Discreetly nestled by the roadside within the small moorland community of Poundsgate, The Drydens is surrounded by the beautiful and dramatic landscape of Dartmoor National Park.
There is stunning riding, walking and cycling country on the doorstep yet the location is by no means remote and is just a short ten minute or so drive of Ashburton and the A38 for Plymouth, Exeter and the motorway link beyond.
Poundsgate has a traditional pub, The Tavistock Inn, which is just a short stroll and a bus service runs to the primary school at nearby Widecombe where there is a church, two pubs and cafes/tea rooms.
Ashburton provides a great range of everyday shops such as a post office, butchers, delicatessen, bakers, fish deli, iron mongers, Co-op and Spar stores. It also has a choice of schools and many clubs and societies plus well supported community arts centre.
The larger towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot are each around a thirty minute drive and have comprehensive shopping centres and mainline railway stations to London Paddington.
Built around the turn of the millennium, The Drydens is a substantial family home with the layout and appearance of a classic Dartmoor longhouse.
It incorporates high levels of insulation within its timber frame construction and an oil fired central heating system along with Photovoltaic roof panels to add to the property's energy efficiency. We understand the PV panels qualify for a high rate on the feed-in tariff and generate a useful income.
The accommodation includes two spacious reception rooms, one with wood burning stove, and there is a mixtures of wood and slate flooring on the ground and first floors. The roof space has been professionally converted to provide a family room and office. Most rooms have views over the gardens or surrounding countryside and moors.
The gardens provide an attractive private setting for The Drydens and the whole plot extends to 0.53 of an acre - as measured on Pro-Map.
