DESCRIPTION 1 Hollowtree Cottage is steeped in history, formerly one of the Earl of Portsmouth's cottages. Believed to have been built in the 1820's, it is constructed of solid stone walls and cob under a tiled roof. The property offers deceptively spacious 4 bedroomed accommodation with delightful views across open countryside, especially from the first floor with views over adjoining rolling Devon countryside towards Dartmoor and Exmoor.

The property is presented in totally immaculate condition throughout and benefits from 4 bedrooms, living room, dining room, 25' (7.62m) kitchen / breakfast room, bathroom, attic room and aluminium framed sun lounge.

The garden is also immaculately presented and enjoys a level lawned garden with well stocked flower beds and borders, trees and an ornamental water feature. It also benefits from a further fully enclosed large garden measuring approximately 150' x 30' (45.72m x 9.14m), where the current owners store their caravan (which would also be ideal for a boat, trailer etc) and also has a highly productive vegetable garden having various fruit trees, and a useful workshop.

The property is situated on the edge of the village of Chawleigh and is extremely accessible to the larger village of Chulmleigh, Eggesford station and the A377 main road all within a couple of miles. Chulmleigh is the centre for an active and friendly community and offers a good range of local shops including bakery, dairy, newsagent, hardware store etc., along with a primary and secondary school / community college, health centre, post office, bank, churches, library, three public houses and a short 18 hole golf course.

CHAWLEIGH is a parish and village standing on high ground over the Little Dart and Taw valleys. The village has an ancient church, built in stone in the early English style with an embattled tower containing six bells. The village has a post office stores and two old inns. Eggesford Station is about 2.5 miles south of the village and the town of Crediton is about 15 miles, Chulmleigh 2 miles, Witheridge 7.5 miles, Tiverton 17 miles and the Cathedral City of Exeter about 20 miles.
