Tucked within the heart of one of Dartmoor’s most sought after villages, Pound House is a beautifully refurbished three bedroom detached home that perfectly balances period character with modern conveniences. Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this charming cottage is ready to move straight into and immediately enjoy.

From the moment you arrive, the property makes a warm and welcoming impression. A covered porch and traditional stable door open into a cosy entrance lobby, where engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating sets the tone for the quality found throughout. The ground floor flows effortlessly, with a delightful dining/living room leading through to the further reception room which again could be set up as a dining/sitting room, where exposed timbers, deep window sills and an impressive inglenook fireplace create a true sense of cottage charm. These character features are complemented by thoughtful modern upgrades, including double glazing and oil fired central heating.

The kitchen is both stylish and practical, fitted with a range of contemporary units, wood block worktops and a classic Belfast sink. Integral appliances are neatly incorporated, while French doors open directly onto the garden, making this a wonderful space for everyday living and entertaining. A newly fitted cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the cottage continues to impress. The first floor offers three well proportioned bedrooms, each with its own individual character, including exposed timbers and stripped wood floors. A newly fitted bathroom provides a sleek and modern finish, featuring a white suite and a mains fed rain shower over the bath.

Outside, the property enjoys a charming garden on the upper level, while a paved patio seating area sits alongside the house, framed by granite walling and ideal for outdoor dining. Steps lead up to a lawned garden, with off road parking for one vehicle discreetly positioned beyond. Adding further appeal is a substantial two storey stone built shed, offering excellent storage or potential for a variety of uses.

Pound House is ideally located within walking distance of South Zeal’s village amenities, including two popular public houses and an excellent primary school. With easy access to Okehampton, the A30 and the vast open landscapes of Dartmoor National Park, this is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a characterful home in a truly special setting.

A rare find that combines charm, comfort and convenience, Pound House is a home that invites you to settle in and stay.
