2 Post Box Cottage is a charming dwelling, occupying a rural location, yet within easy reach of amenities. The cottage has been the subject of an extensive programme of renovation, combining the period features with contemporary fittings, the result of which is a warm, comfortable living space. The property includes a garden and parking under an open fronted garage. For those who enjoy the open spaces of the moor, Post Box could not be better placed. The quiet country lanes and footpaths in the area lead to the Dartmoor hills and Tors, and wooded valleys providing excellent walking, particularly on the Two Moors Way footpath which passes close by and links the North and South Coasts of Devon. Thorn is a tiny rural hamlet of attractive stone cottages on the edge of the Dartmoor uplands, approximately 1 mile from Chagford. The picturesque old market town of Chagford lies deep in the Dartmoor National Park and is a superb location from which to access the open spaces of the high moor as well as the wooded, pastoral landscape of the nearby Teign Valley. With a thriving community, it has a comprehensive range of shops and other facilities including inns, a primary school, medical, dental and veterinary facilities and churches. Despite the deeply rural atmosphere of the town, the A30 dual carriageway is only approximately 5 miles away for easy access to the motorway and rail networks as well as the cathedral city of Exeter where all major facilities can be found. There are good public transport links between Chagford and Exeter, Newton Abbot and Okehampton. Local sporting facilities include clubs for cricket, football, bowls, tennis and seasonal open air swimming pool as well as a golf course nearby at Bovey Tracey.
