The property fronts Fore Street, the main thoroughfare within the small Dartmoor town of Buckfastleigh. It is an imposing Grade II listed terraced building arranged over three floors including a large double-fronted shop let out to Walgreens Boots Alliance trading as Boots Pharmacy, and a vacant a self-contained maisonette on the upper two floors.

The maisonette requires some modernisation but has spacious, light rooms, sash windows, gas central heating and a wood burning stove in the living room.

To the rear of the building is a large walled garden backing onto the River Mardle on the farthest-most boundary. Within the garden is a stone building, understood to be a former slaughter- house, and a second smaller stone building. The buildings have potential for adaption to alternative uses, subject to the required consents.

Buckfastleigh lies on the southern edge of Dartmoor National Park and just off the A38 which provides quick access to the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter. The town has a range of local shops and amenities, whilst the larger town of Totnes is around a twenty minute car drive away.

DIRECTIONS

The property can be found on the left hand-side as you proceed down Fore Street, which is a one-way road. There are public car parks at the beginning and end of Fore Street, each just a short level walk from the property.
