INTERESTING VICTORIAN TERRACED COTTAGE REQUIRING IMPROVEMENT AND MODERNISATION, TOGETHER WITH GARDEN AND YARD, CLOSE TO TOWN AMENITIES
DESCRIPTION
11 Orchard Terrace is a traditional Victorian cottage, probably built in the 1890s which offers considerable potential for extensive improvements and repairs. The spacious two bedroom accommodation has several original features including panelled doors and old built-in cupboards. Outside, there is a garden which slopes down to a small stream and to the rear of the property is a yard, and grassed area with space for flower tubs. To conclude, 11 Orchard Terrace provides an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a cottage requiring renovation, close to the centre of Buckfastleigh.
SITUATION
11 Orchard Terrace is situated in a pleasant backwater position, behind Chapel Street in Buckfastleigh. This up and coming country town, on the southern slopes of the Dartmoor National Park provides a useful range of shops and good primary schooling. The surrounding countryside is delightfully unspoilt and offers excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits. Buckfastleigh is a highly accessible little town with direct access to the A38 dual carriageway offering fast links to Plymouth and Exeter. The mainline rail link is also within short motoring distance.
