The property is located in a small residentialdevelopment of twelve properties and is situated on the edge of the sought-after Dartmoor village of South Zeal, with excellent views to the rear of the nearby countryside, Dartmoor, the village of South Zeal and the church of the neighbouring village, South Tawton.

South Zeal is a highly desirable Dartmoor National Park village which lies approximately 17 miles west of Exeter and 5 miles east of Okehampton. There are a good range of local amenities including a well renowned primary school, a church, recreation/playing field and two popular public houses. There is a regular bus service to Okehampton and Exeter.
A more comprehensive range of local shopping and amenities can be found in Okehampton.   Okehampton lies on the northern edge of Dartmoor National Park. It is approximately 30 miles from both the north and south Devon coasts. There are superb local beauty spots where one may enjoy walking, riding, and fishing. An hour rail service runs and returns between Okehampton and Exeter.
The shopping area contains a bank and supermarkets, including Waitrose, as well as many interesting locally owned shops. Primary and secondary education is well catered for in local schools. The recreation ground and park contains, amongst other things, a covered heated swimming pool. Most sports are available including 18-hole golf course, squash courts, indoor rifle range and thriving rugby and soccer clubs.

A well-presented terraced house, built in 1995 and owned by the sellers for the last twenty-three years, Shelly Court is a quiet and thoughtfully designed residential development, with twelve similar properties and an attractive central courtyard to the front and private gardens to the rear.
The front entrance door leads to a useful porch, with hanging space for coats and an inner door to a hallway. Stairs lead to the first floor and further doors to a kitchen, with a modern fitted kitchen including integrated double electric oven and grill, further appliance space, and tiled flooring. There is a wall mounted Worcester boiler, which was replaced in June 2022.
Moving through, the sitting/dining room is spacious and light, with a patio door and window, which both offer excellent countryside views towards Dartmoor and South Zeal village and South Tawton church.

To the first floor is a landing, with airing cupboard and doors leading to three bedrooms, again with excellent views from main bedroom and the third bedroom. There is also a family bathroom.
The property benefits from LPG central heating, via a bulk tank which supplies all the properties within Shelly Court, with each property being individually metered. There is also full double glazing to all windows and doors.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is the attractive communal courtyard, that leads to a small, gravelled, private front garden, with stone wall border and useful store and wall-mounted tap.
The rear garden offers a good deal of privacy and again enjoys excellent views. There is a raised seating area leading from the patio doors of the sitting room, which is an ideal vantage point for the views. A small number of steps lead down to a low maintenance garden, predominantly laid to gravel with stone-built flower beds and laurel hedge borders. Within the garden and under the raised seating area is a doorway to a very useful basement/under store, measuring 5.93m x 5.51m, offering excellent storage, with power, lighting and water connected.
At the far end of the garden, is a well-constructed summerhouse, with power connected, offering a lovely peaceful place to relax and enjoy the far-reaching views.
Beyond the summerhouse, a small number of steps lead down to a gateway, where there is an electric point for charging of an electric vehicle and an off-road parking space for one car. There is further nearby guest parking if required.

We are delighted to be appointed as sole agents for the sale of this excellent property and viewing is highly recommended.
