1 bedroom barn conversion for sale

SITUATION The Linhay is located in the grounds of the Fox & Hounds Hotel, approximately two miles from Chulmleigh, a small but busy town set in the heart of rural Devon. It is the centre for an active and friendly community and offers a good range of local shops including a butcher, bakery, dairy, newsagent, hardware store etc, along with the excellent Chulmleigh Academy offering schooling from the ages of 3 to 16 years of age, health centre, dental surgery, Post Office, bank, churches, library, two public houses and a community run Sports Centre and a short 18 hole golf course. The market town of South Molton to the north and Crediton to the south both offer a more comprehensive range of facilities and the local railway station at Eggesford, 2 miles, provides a rail link between Exeter and Barnstaple. Road link is via the A377 or the North Devon Link Road, which can easily be accessed at South Molton.

Tiverton, the M5 motorway at Junction 27 and Tiverton Parkway station, which provides a fast Intercity rail link to London Paddington, are both approximately forty-five minutes drive. There is also an international airport at Exeter.

DESCRIPTION The Linhay is an attractive end terrace holiday cottage located within a small group of similar properties in the grounds of the Fox & Hounds Hotel.

Internally the property benefits from attractive one Bedroom and one Bathroom accommodation including an Open Plan Kitchen/Living Area with ingenious stowaway Kitchen comprising an integrated sink, induction hob, integrated fridge, microwave oven and various storage cupboards and shelving.
