DESCRIPTION Pear Tree Cottage is an attractive mid

terrace barn conversion located within a small group of

similar properties in the grounds of the Fox & Hounds

Hotel. This two storey barn conversion was converted

approximately thirty years ago and is of exposed stone and

brick construction under a slate roof with stained wood

double glazed windows throughout and rendered and colour

washed elevations to the rear. Internally the property

benefits from very nicely presented two bedroom

accommodation including a Kitchen, Sitting Room, a first

floor Bathroom and a downstairs Cloakroom. Although in

reasonable condition benefitting from LPG gas central

heating throughout, Pear Tree Cottage would now benefit

from some internal modernisation including new a new

kitchen and bathroom and some redecoration. Outside and

to the front of the property there is dedicated off-road

parking for one car whilst to the rear of the property is an

attractive paved Patio Area giving lovely wooded views over

the Hotel Gardens to the Taw Valley beyond.

The twelve cottages and barn conversions at the Fox &

Hounds Hotel create a small but friendly community that

has been created over the last few years. The whole

complex comprises a small country hotel sporting estate

offering residential homes, high quality hotel

accommodation, a bar and restaurant and recreational use

of some thirty acres of beautiful gardens, woodlands and

riverside walks.
