PROPERTY SUMMARY Set along Cross Street in the centre of Moretonhampstead, Jays Cottage is a characterful period cottage with an attractive traditional frontage and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor provides a spacious living/dining room with an impressive exposed stone fireplace and gas effect wood burner, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. To the rear, the kitchen continues the characterful feel, with exposed stonework, tiled flooring and practical working space.

There are two generous bedrooms arranged over the upper floors, together with a first-floor bathroom and second-floor shower room. The accommodation is spacious and offers flexibility for full-time living, a Dartmoor base, or a low maintenance home within easy reach of the town's amenities. 

ACCOMMODATION Stone steps with iron railings rise to the front door, set beneath a small canopy and framed by sash-style windows and seasonal planting. From here, the door opens directly into the main living and dining room - a welcoming, character-rich space where the exposed stone fireplace with inset gas fired stove create a natural focal point. With windows to the front and room for both seating and dining, it is a comfortable everyday room with a sociable feel.

From the living/dining room, the accommodation continues through to the kitchen at the rear. This is a practical cottage-style kitchen, with tiled flooring, timber-fronted units, a sink beneath the rear window and an attractive exposed stone recess adding warmth and texture. The staircase rises from this area, with a small breakfast/bar area tucked beneath, making good use of the ground floor layout.

The first floor provides a generous principal bedroom to the front of the property, with good natural light and space for freestanding furniture. A bathroom is also positioned on this level. Stairs continue to the second floor, where a further spacious bedroom sits beneath the roofline, lit by rooflights and served by an additional shower room
