SITUATION The Granary is set in the small rural hamlet of East Cornworthy, enjoying a secluded valley setting surrounded by rolling farmland and unspoilt South Hams countryside. The location is particularly appealing for those with an interest in sailing or boating, being close to the River Dart.
Dittisham is approximately 1 mile away, a highly desirable riverside village with two public houses, a village shop and post office, church and sailing club. Totnes, with its wide range of amenities and mainline railway station, lies approximately 6 miles up river, while the historic port of Dartmouth is around 4.5 miles downriver. The South Devon coastline, local beaches, Dartmouth Golf and Country Club, walks and bridleways are all within easy reach.
DESCRIPTION The Granary offers a rare chance to acquire a rural property with land, outbuildings and considerable scope in a secluded South Hams setting.
Offered for sale as an executor sale, the property is in need of full refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to any necessary consents. The existing single-storey dwelling extends to approximately 1,160 sq ft and includes character features such as stone elevations, exposed stonework, beamed ceilings and a substantial fireplace.
The outbuildings extend to approximately 2,377 sq ft, with the whole set in approximately 3.45 acres, creating an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project in a highly sought-after location.
ACCOMMODATION The property is entered via a porch, which leads into the kitchen/dining room. This is a generous room with space for cooking, dining and informal seating, with doors opening through to the adjoining accommodation.
To one side lies Bedroom 1, served by an en-suite bathroom. Bedroom 2 is positioned off the central accommodation and leads out into the conservatory, which in turn links through to the sitting room.
The sitting room is a particularly characterful space, with a substantial stone fireplace, exposed stone detailing and high, beamed ceiling. Glazed doors open to the garden, drawing in natural light and providing a connection with the surrounding grounds.
OUTSIDE The property is approached from the lane by a private drive leading into the holding, with parking available beside the house and outbuildings. The outbuildings form an important part of the offering and include a range of stores and larger open-fronted structures, providing extensive storage, workshop or agricultural-type space, subject to use and any necessary consents.
The gardens around the house are laid mainly to lawn, with mature trees, hedging and areas of established planting. To the rear and side of the property, the land opens out into pasture, taking full advantage of the sheltered valley setting and rural views.
The land extends in all to approximately 3.45 acres, offering privacy, amenity and considerable scope for those seeking space in a peaceful countryside location.
