2 bed cottage for sale

1A The Square, Moretonhampstead, Devon TQ13

A former shop, No 1A The Square has been refurbished and transformed into a stylish home with very well appointed accommodation throughout. The ground floor exterior double doors open into a beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room with large windows and steps down to a sitting room which has a large granite fireplace with wood burning stove. Stairs lead to a multi level landing with a very smart bathroom with Japanese tub and shower and further stairs to the large main bedroom at the front of the house and a spacious top floor double bedroom. The property has been a full-time home but is currently a holiday let and owner's moorland bolt-hole. This charming home really must be seen to be appreciated and Fowlers strongly recommend viewing.
