0 bidsIn the heart of a sought-after village. A part residential and part commercial property in need of refurbishment.
Sitting room, kitchen, 4 bedrooms, bathroom, 300 sq ft shop with storeroom at the rear, 550 sq ft barn and Courtyard
The Post Office 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 lies in the centre of the village overlooking the central square
and close to the Drewe Arms Community Pub,. 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. The centre of the village is designated a conservation area and comprises a pleasing mixture of
vernacular buildings of which the Post Office forms an integral part. It is also popular with walkers as it lies on
the edge of Dartmoor and is about mid-way between the North and South coasts on the Two Moors Way.
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 Post Office is an attractive terraced property, constructed of rendered walls under a pitched slate and tile
roof.
It comprises a single 2 storey building used predominantly as a private house but including 2 rooms that have
been used as the village shop in the past, but which have been vacant for a number of years. At the rear a
courtyard is enclosed by high walls and is bound on one side by a large barn, that has access from the front via a
covered passageway.
On the ground floor there are two entrances in addition to the passageway to the barn at the rear. The front door
leads into a hall off which there is a living room and a kitchen. There is a connecting door through to what was
the PostOffice/ Shop and store room (there is also an inaccessible walled up space behind the storeroom). The
stairs lead up to a generous landing serving the bedrooms and bathroom (one of which has restricted height in
the sloping roof). From one of the bedrooms there are long views out of the village to the wooded slopes by the
Teign Valley Gorge to the south.
The property includes a small area of forecourt enclosed by a dwarf wall at the front and the courtyard at the rear.
