Set in a sheltered position in the picturesque village of Haytor Vale, 2 Days Folley forms part of a small row of just four individual homes - the external appearance of which belies the size and extent of accommodation on offer.
A perfect home for a growing family, this versatile property is laid out over three floors with good room sizes throughout including two attractive reception rooms - each with a cosy wood-burner. There are bedrooms on two floors and a WC on each of the three floors. In recent years the accommodation has been upgraded including refurbishment of the delightful garden room on the lower ground floor with its lantern roof window and bi-fold doors seamlessly connecting to the garden, a new condensing boiler in March 2022, new window hinge fittings and 300 mm of roof insulation has been added - helping to make this a warm home.
Outside, there is a well laid out rear garden with direct access to a bridle path and woodland walks, without the need to cross any roads, whilst to the front if the house is a parking drive for several vehicles plus a garage which forms an integral part of the building.
Haytor Vale nestles below Haytor Down within Dartmoor National Park and together with nearby Ilsington has a friendly, active community. There is spectacular walking country on the doorstep and Haytor Vale has an excellent public house and restaurant, The Rock Inn. Ilsington has a community village store/post office, primary school, church, village hall, public house and Country House Hotel with a fitness/spa centre.
In addition to the excellent Ilsington Village primary school there are well regarded primary schools at Widecombe and Blackpool, Liverton (each around a ten minute drive) and a secondary school/sixth form college at Ashburton along with an independent co-ed private school at Stover (15 minutes drive).
The towns of Bovey Tracey (around 4 miles) and Ashburton (around 7 miles) each offer a good range of everyday shops and amenities, whilst the larger market town of Newton Abbot lies around 9 miles to the south and has a mainline railway station with direct connection to London Paddington. The A38 at Drumbridges, for Exeter and Plymouth, is about ten minutes by car.
