Dart Cottage, Postbridge, Yelverton, PL20 6TJ

Postbridge, Yelverton Perfect for lovers of nature and the outdoors, Dart Cottage is sited in an enviable position overlooking the famous clapper bridge at Postbridge, with the wilds of Dartmoor and Bellever Forest on your doorstep.

This period cottage has been extensively modernised and refurbished, creating a home with all the conveniences of modern living, but steeped in charm and character.

Downstairs the rough-hewn local granite of the feature fireplaces in the living & dining areas contrasts beautifully with the recently-fitted contemporary units in the kitchen next door.

The ground floor is completed with a sunny study off the dining area, and practical spaces including utility, WC and boot room – great for shedding boots and towelling off wet dogs after a swim in the nearby river!

Upstairs the blend of period features and modern updates continues with exposed stone walls and a feature circular window standing out against sleek new bathrooms with slipper baths and modern shower enclosures in both.

There are three generous bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having both en suite bathroom and connected dressing room (which could be reinstated as a potential bedroom four if desired).

Bedrooms two and three share a beautiful jack-and-jill bathroom.

Dart Cottage is located in the heart of idyllic Dartmoor National Park, with beautiful countryside and forests surrounding the property.

Well-screened lawned gardens with shrub beds and borders wrap around the side and rear of the property and face south and west, overlooking the paddock and river beyond.

The mature trees here provide lovely shaded spots for al fresco dining or perhaps a G&T as the sun sets over the hills.

The adjoining paddock has been allowed to re-wild and extends almost to the East Dart River. From here there are lovely views over the original clapper bridge, a famous Dartmoor Landmark.

On a practical front, double wooden gates at the rear give access to a substantial parking area suitable for numerous vehicles including a horse box or trailer, and a stone garage with adjoining open-fronted store provides useful storage and is accessed from the rear parking or adjacent to the front door.

Postbridge sits in a central location within Dartmoor with easy access to the local village amenities which include a post office and store and a public house.

The nearby village of Princetown offers further amenities as do the neighbouring towns of Ashburton, Moretonhampstead and Tavistock.

The cities of Exeter and Plymouth are both within a 40-to-45-minute drive.

The surrounding open moorland is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, and the nearby Bellever Forest offers a wonderful place to walk or ride with miles of unspoilt trails available.
