Sellers InsightChurch Steps is nestled in one of the oldest and most picturesque parts of Bovey and over the past two decades we've spent much time delving into its history with local historians. The house charmed us with its character, history, and lovely beamed rooms. Despite its central location in town, it has a large, peaceful garden which is overlooked from the master bedroom. The sight of our home, set against the backdrop of an even older church, presents one of the loveliest views in Bovey Tracey, indeed our neighbours used to say they had the best view in town.The heart of our home is undoubtedly the oak kitchen, a space where countless meals have been prepared and shared with family and friends. The guest wing of the house is approached up a separate staircase from the family bedrooms, providing privacy to both visitors and family.We have utilised every possible space in the house, from the expansive attics to the double garage which has served not just as a storage space for cars and bikes but as a workshop. It also has a large attic.Our affection for Church Steps is matched by that for Bovey Tracey itself. Initially drawn to the house rather than the town, we quickly discovered the warmth and friendliness of the community here. It's a place where everyone is welcome, and the upcoming Paradiso Arts on Fore Street promises to enrich our community further with an art gallery, studios, a restaurant, and an auditorium for theatre, cinema, music, talk and dance events.Living on the doorstep of Dartmoor National Park, Parke Estate, and Stover Park has meant that walking and cycling routes abound. Bovey Tracey complements these natural wonders with its own local charm, such as the heated swimming pool and the whisky distillery that doubles as a venue for musical events. The town's calendar, featuring events such as the national Craft Fair, Food Festival, and Green Man Festival, alongside a selection of shops, ensures our town is a lively, engaging place to live throughout the year.Reflecting on our time at Church Steps, the combination of the house's historic charm, the garden's peacefulness, our friendly neighbours and Bovey Tracey's welcoming community has made our time here a time we treasure. This town, with its friendly atmosphere, cultural vibrancy, and breathtaking surroundings, has become as much a home to us as the historic walls of Church Steps. We will continue to live in Bovey in the coming years.Step InsideThe property has a beautiful thatch roof and symmetrical frontage. It really is the 'chocolate box' style cottage.
