A charming two-bedroom period cottage in the centre of the historic market town of Hatherleigh. Renovated and lovingly maintained since 2022, Motcombe Cottage (the properties official name) dates back to the mid 18th Century and offers the owner unrivalled access to both the town itself and transport across the country.

Description

Motcombe Cottage (23 Bridge Street) is offered as vacant possession with no onward chain (or with a guarantee that any chain would be circumvented by the owner using rented accommodation). This charming, well -renovated and much-loved period cottage (dating back to the 1700s) is characterful and authentic and it offers the owner a prime position in the historic market town. Hatherleigh is perhaps one of the most beautiful and well-positioned towns in the Dartmoor area, offering links to all areas of the country and boasting every amenity you could ever need, including: the medical centre, Co-op, post office, pubs and hairdressers (as well as a host of independent businesses including the chip shop, the café and a petrol station with servicing area). Okehampton and Dartmoor are just a few miles south and Hatherleigh itself boasts its own moorland just up the hill. The most striking amenities to consider are the stunning church and the historic market, which still attracts visitors from far and wide every week.
