4 MARLOW CRESCENT

Post-War Project With Plenty Of Picturesque Potential.   If you’re looking to put your own stamp on a property, this lovely 1950’s home with only one previous owner and breathtaking countryside views could be perfect. 
It’s one of a small row of post-war ex-local Authority homes that are only a short stroll from the centre of picture-postcard Chillaton village. 
As you’d expect with a property that’s not changed hands since being first built over 70 years ago, it’s a meaty refurb project. You’ll need to budget for a full cosmetic update along with taking a good look at the heating and wiring.
One thing that certainly doesn’t need work is the breathtaking views over the fields towards the village. You’ll love taking in the scenery as you sit in the sun-trap back garden. 
And that view should get your creative juices flowing, visualising what could be achieved with a little imaginative remodelling…
The cottage has a traditional layout with two reception rooms at the front, separated by a central hall and stairs.
A small kitchen and a wet room style shower room occupy an extension at the rear but they really don’t make the most of the spectacular setting.
You’d need to speak to an architect and check with the local planners but there’s scope to open up the property into a more sociable, modern space. In doing so you should be able to take in more of the views. Just imagine what you could see with full width bi-fold doors…
Upstairs has three good size bedrooms and another bathroom, which will all need updating. 
Chillaton is a small, friendly village that’s less than 10 minutes drive (or a 70 minute brisk walk) to the western edge of Dartmoor National Park. 
It’s also in a handy position only a short drive from Launceston, Tavistock and Okehampton. The bustling market town of Tavistock is closest, being only a 10 minute drive away.
If you’re keen to bring up your children in a peaceful rural setting, the closest primary school is in Milton Abbott (only 7 minutes in the car) with Tavistock College for older kids only a 15 minute drive away.
This full refurb project is certainly not for the faint hearted. But if you’ve got the vision and the budget to match it could be the perfect blank canvas to create your dream family home in a spectacular setting.
