Moretonhampstead, Devon

4 Bedroom Chalet for sale in Moretonhampstead

THE PROPERTY Greenacres occupies an unusually generous plot of approximately 0.31 of an acre, giving the property a
remarkable sense of space for such a central position in Moretonhampstead. Set within easy reach of the town's shops and amenities, the house combines substantial accommodation with a large garden, extensive parking, garaging, a workshop and useful storage beneath the house.

The accommodation is currently arranged to include the principal three-bedroom home together with an integral one-bedroom annexe, providing useful separation and versatility within the overall layout. To the rear, the garden opens out into a broad expanse of lawn with established planting and an open outlook across the town towards the surrounding countryside. It is this combination of space, practicality and central convenience that gives Greenacres its particular appeal.
 

ACCOMMODATION The layout of Greenacres is one of its most interesting features. The entrance opens into a central hallway, with the main accommodation arranged around it and stairs rising to the first floor. From here there is also internal access to the annexe, meaning the two parts of the house remain connected while still retaining a clear sense of separation. This arrangement gives the property genuine versatility. The annexe can operate independently through its own entrance, yet remains part of the house when needed. Also leading from the hallway is a study, a well-lit room that works equally well as a home office, hobby room or snug, adding further flexibility to the ground floor.

The living/dining room is a particularly generous space, set to the rear of the house and enjoying a strong connection with the garden. A broad run of glazing brings in plenty of natural light, while doors open directly outside, allowing the room to flow naturally towards the garden. Its proportions make it an easy room to arrange, with ample space for everyday family life as well as entertaining.

The kitchen and breakfast room is positioned towards the front and side of the house and provides a practical everyday hub. There is good preparation and storage space together with room for a dining table, while the layout also gives direct access to the adjoining stores, garaging and outside areas. A second kitchen forms part of the integral annexe. This sits alongside its own living room and bathroom on the ground floor, giving the annexe the facilities needed to function independently when required.

The main staircase rises to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden and benefits from fitted storage and an ensuite bathroom. Two further bedrooms complete this part of the first floor, both positioned to take advantage of the outlook. The annexe has its own separate staircase, rising from its ground-floor accommodation to a further bedroom with ensuite bathroom. In total, Greenacres offers four bedrooms, arranged across two interconnected parts of the house rather than as a conventional four-bedroom layout.

Bathroom provision is well distributed throughout the house. On the first floor, the principal accommodation is served by a family bathroom and an en suite bathroom to the main bedroom, while the annexe bedroom has its own en suite bathroom. On the ground floor, both the main house and the annexe each have a shower room and WC. This level of provision suits the property's flexible layout, whether it is used as one larger home or with the annexe maintaining a degree of independence.
 

OUTSIDE The outside space is central to the appeal of Greenacres. The property stands in grounds extending to
approximately 0.31 of an acre, an unusually generous amount of land for a home positioned so close to the centre of Moretonhampstead. There is also a secondary access from beside the car park, as shown on the Land Registry title plan.

To the front is a substantial yard and parking area with room for several vehicles, together with access to the garaging (approximately 1,031 sq ft in total) and workshop. Beneath the house is further substantial storage, accessed externally. There is also a secondary access from beside the car park, as shown on the Land Registry title plan. The rear gardens open out into a broad expanse of predominantly lawned ground, with established planting and views across the surrounding rooftops towards the countryside beyond. A raised deck immediately behind the house provides a natural area for sitting and dining outside, while the scale of the garden leaves plenty of room for recreation, gardening and family life.

The combination of garden, parking, garaging, storage and workshop provision gives Greenacres a level of practicality that is difficult to find in such a convenient town setting.

ABOUT MORETONHAMPSTEAD Moretonhampstead sits at the north-eastern gateway to Dartmoor National Park, close enough to the moor to feel genuinely part of it, while keeping all the character and convenience of a traditional Devon market town. With its historic buildings, friendly community and beautiful setting, it is a place people tend to stay once they discover it. The town offers a good range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, a well-regarded primary school, a medical centre, a Post Office, cafés and welcoming pubs that serve locals and visitors alike. The White Hart Hotel on the Square is a landmark in its own right, while The Horse, a popular pub and restaurant, and Hippo, a relaxed café and restaurant, are both well known for excellent food. Throughout the year, a lively calendar of local events adds to the strong sense of community. Beyond the town, the open moorland of Dartmoor is immediately accessible, whether on foot along ancient lanes and moorland tracks, by bike, or by car to any number of striking viewpoints. Castle Drogo, the National Trust's remarkable early twentieth-century granite castle, is just a few miles away, as are the wooded walks of the Teign Gorge and the much-admired neighbouring town of Chagford, with its independent shops, galeries and restaurants.

For connectivity, Exeter is around 13 miles to the east, offering a mainline railway station with fast services to London Paddington, an international airport and access to the M5. Newton Abbot, with its own mainline station and wider retail offer, is around 12 miles to the south-east, and the A38 and A30 are both within easy reach. Moretonhampstead strikes a balance that is genuinely hard to find: the pace and beauty of Dartmoor life, with the wider world well within reach.
