0 bidsThe Church Rooms is situated in the village of Drewsteignton, some 14 miles to the west of Exeter on the eastern edge of the Dartmoor National Park.
The property is located in the centre of the village on the edge of the church yard and with frontage to the public highway. There is on street parking outside the property.
Drewsteignton is a popular village on the edge of Dartmoor, with a community pub and range of other community activities.
This area is popular as it is accessible to both Exeter and Dartmoor. It is also close to Chagford, one of the most sought-after addresses in Devon.
The Church Rooms is an attractive detached property, constructed of dressed granite walls under a pitched slate roof. Windows are timber framed with leaded light
casements. There is a single massive chimney on the west gable end.
The Grade II* listed property is believed to date from 16th Century. It is two stories with access at each level and also connecting via an internal stone spiral staircase.
The property is thought to have had several previous uses, including originating as a house, then used as a school and most recently used as the church hall.
The accommodation includes a large hall on the upper floor. On the lower floor the space is divided by an oak screen, with each section having an external door. One section has a massive open fireplace. There is a very rudimentary kitchen installed in one section and a dumb waiter accessing between the two floors.
The property includes two small, raised beds between the building and the road to the south, a ramp access to the upper floor from the church yard and an alleyway running
along the north side of the property between the building and churchyard that provides access to the outside WC.
The adjoining owners (The National Trust) have indicated they would consider offering the new owner a long lease of a small adjoining area of garden on the west side of the building.
The lot is to be sold by traditional online auction with an end date and time of TBC.
An auction buyer’s fee of 1.8% (inc of VAT) is payable in addition to the purchase price.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
