Springwood is a fantastic property, originally comprising a row of four cottages and a barn understood to date from the mid 18th century. The house contains a number of interesting architectural features including fine granite walls, exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces. The roof has also been recently re-thatched.
The former barn was converted a decade ago and today the property offers flexible accommodation with the main house comprising three reception rooms, five bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The additional cottage at the east end of the row provides useful ancillary income through shorthold tenancies, or could equally be used as accommodation for family or a holiday home.

In addition there is also a study in the garage complex ideally suited to those who work from home. The house also has colourful, landscaped and well-stocked gardens and grounds which extend to around ¾ of an acre and are easily maintained. There is also a raised terrace to the front of the property while the higher part of the garden contains a wide selection of flowering shrubs.
Springwood is situated in the small village of Doccombe on the eastern edge of the Dartmoor National Park and above the well-wooded Teign Valley. The village itself has a small church and about 35 houses and cottages. Two miles to the west is the hilltop town of Moretonhampstead, which has further amenities while Chagford is just eight miles distant and Exeter, with its main line rail link to London is ten miles away.
