Description

This countryside property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with substantial renovation potential. Nestled within the tranquil semi-rural community of Brook, which is part of the Dartmoor village of Sampford Spiney, this residence sits on a generous plot of just over 1 acre, featuring wrap-around gardens and an adjoining paddock equipped with timber stabling. The property is being sold chain-free, allowing for a straightforward transaction. Local highlights include access to open moorland within walking distance, offering outdoor enthusiasts immediate opportunities for exploration at places such as Huckworthy Common and Plaster Down. For everyday conveniences, you’ll find the village of Horrabridge just 1 mile away, boasting essential amenities like a convenience store and local pubs. Yelverton is located 3 miles away and features a wider array of shopping options including a mini-supermarket, butchers, delicatessen, and café. Additionally, sports facilities are readily accessible in the surrounding area. The home itself has been in the same family ownership for 25 years and now requires comprehensive refurbishment to unlock its full potential. It offers a flexible layout with up to five bedrooms and multiple living spaces that can be reconfigured to suit modern tastes. The ground floor consists of a dual-aspect sitting room highlighting a granite open fireplace; two adjoining bedrooms; and an inner hallway that leads to the kitchen and additional reception space or bedroom. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms including a master suite with en-suite shower room. Significant investment opportunities exist both inside and outside this property. The expansive gardens provide ample space for landscaping or gardening projects, while the paddock presents possibilities for equestrian use or even further development (subject to necessary consents). With driveway parking available alongside an attached garage, this property offers easy access while maintaining privacy from neighboring homes. In terms of utilities, the house is connected to mains water and electricity along with oil-fired central heating; however, the private drainage system may require attention due to its septic tank setup. Superfast broadband connectivity is available, ensuring efficient communication even in this peaceful setting. This property not only holds charm but also significant investment potential through renovation or reconfiguration to create a personalized countryside sanctuary. Viewings are available by appointment through the sole agents.
