This Devon village property (formally known as 8 Duntz Hill) comes to the market via the modern method of sale an Online Auction for the first time since our vendors purchased it during the early 1980’s. It could be an exciting opportunity for buyers who are keen on enhancing as well as preserving its character. It is thought that the original parts of this Grade II Listed, semi-detached cottage were built during the 1700’s. It is situated next to the village Church and was thought to have been part of the Lifton Hall Estate. The majority of the property enjoys thick, white, stone and cob walls, some slate floors and single glazed painted windows. One of the bathrooms and a porch below are circular in shape. It is currently heated by electric heaters in most of the rooms. An ancient cooking range and wood burning stove is set into the fireplace in the main living room. We are told that it has been condemned and should not be used.
At the beginning of their ownership, our vendors contributed to its history by having a two storey, one bedroom annexe added to the rear elevation. This has its own entrance and is subject to its own council tax commitment. It is currently opened up to the rest of the property by an internal door that could be closed up again if desired.
In total there are three double bedrooms, two of them are served by en-suite bathrooms. There are also two kitchens, the smaller one in the main house is quite basic and fitted with some bespoke cupboard space. The second, larger and more comprehensive kitchen is situated within the more modern annexe area.
Outside, at the front, off road parking is provided by a concreted drive coming off the lane. There is also a level lawn and footpath leading to the front porch door. The rear garden is laid to lawn and the higher part enjoys a far reaching countryside view and a solid small stone tool shed with a slate roof. There are stone steps descending to a private courtyard.
The property is situated in the heart of the popular and sought-after village of Lifton, which boasts a range of amenities including a Village Store/Post Office, Parish Church, Community Centre, Public Houses, County Primary School, Doctors Surgery to name but a few. The property is a short walk from a popular farm shop and there is a park and good dog walks close by. The ancient former market town of Launceston lies 5 miles to the West and boasts a range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road which gives access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.
