Nestled in the heart of historic Moretonhampstead 'The Gateway to Dartmoor', this Grade II-listed building has been thoughtfully converted into a comfortable 2 bedroom home. The space retains many original features, with the inglenook fireplace now housing a cozy woodburner. On your doorstep are the many amenities this friendly market town offers; a deli, authentic Italian pizzeria, pubs, restaurants, cafes, independent shops and a seasonal outdoor heated swimming pool. The space Directly from the street enter into a bright and spacious well-equipped kitchen diner with large dual aspect windows. Take 2 steps down into a sitting room with log burner and cosy reading nook. Upstairs, from the first floor landing you'll find a bathroom with Japanese deep bath and shower. Across the landing take a further few steps up into a generous double bedroom with dedicated workspace. Adjacent to the bathroom is another staircase turning more steeply up into the 2nd double bedroom, roomy with a comfortable chaise longe. Guest access Enjoy the entire space over 3 floors. A back door gives direct access to a small shared courtyard where bikes can be stored safely under cover and taken to and from the road through a secure side exit. Other things to note Hook House is a grade II-listed building. We have a victorian frontage but the exposed internal stone work is 16th century and you may find small pieces of mortar and rock debris on some upper chimney surfaces. *Due to the steep stairs and Japanese bath the house may not be suitable for older guests*
If you have any issues, please call or text me any time.
Moretonhampstead is a historic Devonshire market town nestled in the northeastern part of Dartmoor National Park, 14 miles/22km west of Exeter. Given town status in 1207 by King John, it has the feel of a village with all the amenities of a town. There are plenty of walks, hikes, climbs and rides but you need only walk a few seconds from the house to sample the local hospitality. You'll find all the town has to offer within easy walking distance. Food and drink is seconds from the house whilst the seasonal heated pool is just a 2 min stroll. A minute's walk up to the church or down Lime Street starts you on a pleasant 40 mins circular walk northeast of the town. A km further takes you high up onto Mardon Down where you'll see great views of the town and the moor beyond.
