Those looking for a lovely family home in the quaint village of Chardstock, and who are seeking a lifestyle change or new challenge, may be interested to know about the prospects that come with this unique property.

The semi-detached property has a cosy and well-presented dwelling and a built-in post office and general store that is already a thriving business and plays a key part in the life of the village. 

The residential part of the property is bright and well presented throughout. On the ground floor, there's a cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove, a well-proportioned dining room with French doors that lead to the garden, and a spacious kitchen and breakfast room fitted with light wood units and contrasting dark laminate work surfaces. The Esse stove is a pleasing focal point in the room.  The sun room also sits on the ground floor and is a particularly welcoming space with access to a high degree of natural light.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, with the master bedroom having fine views over the garden and countryside beyond, and there's a family bathroom too. 

Outside, the rear garden is beautifully landscaped and offers a good level of privacy. It has a favourable west-facing orientation and, in total, extends to 180 feet, with a more formal area with cared-for beds, a lawn and a patio directly outside the house. 

The garden slopes gently downhill, where a gate leads onto a further enclosed section which was once used for growing produce, and there is a mature Cider apple tree, a greenhouse and a shed.

To the front of the property, there is a good-sized forecourt, with additional space to the side for additional parking.
