Woodlands is an unusual property with an interesting history. Originally built in the 1920s as a large single residence, known as Hummersknott, it has Russian design influences and was divided into four properties some time in the 1950s, and then subsequently into three highly individual homes each with its own driveway entrances as it stands today.
The accommodation currently provides two bedrooms plus a study/store with potential to create a third. Additionally, planning consent has been granted for an extension - further details available on request.
The setting is magnificent with a shared private road leading to Woodlands own drive of some length and with picturesque sylvan surroundings. The whole site extends to around 0.70 of an acre (as measured on ProMap) and the gardens and grounds contain some impressive shrubs and trees such as Chinese Pine, Silver Birch, Mock Acacia, Rhoddendron, Camelia, Azalea, Fuschia, Mahonia and a Devon Bank.
Lowerdown is one of the most sought after areas of Bovey Tracey and lies on the edge of Dartmoor National Park with the open moor at Haytor just a few minutes up the road. The town centre with its excellent range of everyday shops, including a recently opened Lidl, is little more than a mile away and the A38 for Exeter and Plymouth at Drumbridges between a five and ten minute drive.
DIRECTIONS
From the Drumbridges Roundabout on the A38 take theA382 towards Bovey Tracey and on reaching the second roundabout turn left by the Fire Station onto the B3387, signposted Haytor. At Five Wyches Cross bear left towards Haytor and on reaching Lowerdown Cross bear right and the private road leading to Woodlands is the second entrance on the right, with Woodlands own drive towards the end of this private road, on the left.
