There are many opportunities locally for walking, riding and fishing, yet good accessibility, via the moorland town of Bovey Tracey, to the A38 dual carriageway. This leads east to the university and cathedral city of Exeter where there is access onto the M5 motorway, mainline rail connections to London and an international airport.
Description - Honeybag is a stylishly refurbished semi-detached cottage nestled in a gloriously rural position. The "Off grid" cottage, which is one of five granite constructed properties surrounding a historic courtyard, provides modern accommodation over two floors and an attached outhouse at the front of the building. There is an open plan dining/sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. The first floor compromises an impressive principle bedroom that has a glazed shower room with a separate WC and a laundry room, plus a further bedroom with ensuite. From both the sitting room and the principle bedroom are amazing views towards Hay Tor.
Accommodation - The property is entered via a stable door into a granite tiled entrance lobby with stairs rising to the first floor. To the right is a family bathroom and double bedroom. To the left of the entrance lobby is an open plan kitchen with wall and floor mounted units, integrated appliances and a gas oven. There is an impressive south facing sitting/dining room with RIKA wood burner, uninterrupted rural views, and French doors leading to the garden.
Stairs from the lobby lead to a first floor landing, off which is a further double bedroom with ensuite shower room and a magnificent principal bedroom with fitted cupboards, a glass fronted ensuite shower room and separate WC and useful utility room. The views from the principal bedroom in particular are breath-taking.
Gardens - Accessed via French Doors from the kitchen/sitting area, is a pebbled path leading to the private garden with a paved sun terrace. The garden is laid to lawn with secure wooden post and rail fencing, and provides direct access to moorland and Devon Wildlife Trust pathways, leading up to Hay Tor and beyond.
Agents Note - The cottage is holiday restricted and can not be used as a primary residence.
Services - The property enjoys full central heating supplied by a new boiler situated in the power room adjacent to the downstairs bedroom, which in turn is fuelled by a large buried domestic LPG tank. There is also a wonderful woodchip burner in the sitting room. Electricity is supplied by solar power and is stored via batteries in the power room. This is backed up by a 200 litre 8kw diesel generator in the garden. Water is supplied by a private borehole in the garden. Waste is via a shared Septic tank. There is also fibre to the cottage, enjoying 70mbps download and 30mbps upload.
Directions - From the M5 at Exeter continue onto the A38 dual carriageway following signs for Plymouth. After about 11 miles take the Drumbridges exit signposted to Bovey Tracey. Head towards Bovey Tracey, continuing straight over the first roundabout and at the second roundabout turn left onto the B3387 signposted to Hay Tor and Widecombe. After about a third of a mile fork left, still on the B3387, signposted to Hay Tor. Continue up onto the open moor. Follow the road taking the right hand turning signposted to Hound Tor, Manaton, Chagford and Moretonhampstead. After about half a mile the entrance to Holwell will be seen on the right hand side. The entrance is set back off the road. Continue along the driveway, past the B&B. At the fork in the driveway, take the immediate left path which sweeps round to the far side of the barn development and continue down the gravel driveway to the bottom, for the entrance into the Victorian courtyard. Honeybag will be found on the far side of the development.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
