Description

An exceptional freehold equestrian property, with 4 acres of well fenced, level paddocks, sand school and stable block with tack room and feed/grooming room.

Situation

Postbridge is a hamlet in the heart of Dartmoor. It lies on the B3212, roughly midway be-tween Princetown and Moretonhampstead. Postbridge is on the East Dart river, one of two main trib-utaries of the River Dart, and consists of a few houses, a shop, a pub and hotel, and a national park tourist information centre.
Postbridge is best known for its fine example of an ancient clapper bridge over the river. First record-ed in the 14th century, the bridge is believed to have been built in the 13th century to enable pack horses to cross, carrying tin to the stannary town of Tavistock. The clapper bridge, a Grade II* listed structure, stands alongside a Grade II-listed bridge built in the 1780s. The settlement is also infamous for the ghost story of the Hairy Hands, which supposedly manifest themselves on a road near the vil-lage. The market town of Chagford is only 8 miles distant, with access on to the A30 only a little fur-ther.

Description

This exceptional equestrian residence occupies a prominent position on the fringes of Postbridge with easy access to numerous facilities, all within a few miles. The detached farmhouse sits adjacent to the northern boundary with the paddocks, sand school and stables easily accessed from the front. The detached stable block features three bays and a tack room and feed/grooming room, all in excellent condition. Power and light are connected.
The house is a comfortable four bedroom detached residence, with spacious and well planned accom-modation. There is s biomass boiler providing heating and hot water. The level paddocks are a real rarity this centrally on the moor, with the sand school a further feature worthy of particular mention. There are additional stone outbuildings which could be converted, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. This is a real Dartmoor gem.
