Features and description
Situation and description
The premises are located in Court Street, fronting one of the main approaches into the town, and close to the busy retail area. Moretonhampstead is an ancient market town situated on the edge of Dartmoor in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park. It sits in the shelter of hills on three sides and the beautiful Wray valley on the fourth. The town is about 15 miles from Exeter and Newton Abbot, with Okehampton, Princetown and Bovey Tracey within easy reach. Transport links are good with the A30 dual carriageway offering easy access to Exeter and the M5 Motorway in one direction, and Okehampton and Cornwall in the other. The A38 is also a short drive which links to Plymouth and the South Cornish Coast
The town itself has a variety of cafes, pubs, banks, local shops and nearby hotels. The town’s resident population is significantly expanded in the summer with tourism, offering the visitors opportunities for hiking, cycling from the recently opened Cycle Trail from Bovey Tracey and Lustleigh, pony trekking and fishing, providing a useful income boost for local businesses. Nearby Newton Abbot is the commercial centre and heart of the Teignbridge area with a district population of approximately 121,000 extending to some 300,000 within 12.5 miles of its centre. The market town of Newton Abbot also has a main line railway station and is approximately 6.5 miles away, with Torquay and Torbay approximately 15 miles distant. The premises have traded as a Motor Museum since June 2013 after a substantial programme of refurbishment including the recovering of the roof and rewiring plus installation of a security and fire alarm system. The premises are therefore well suited to its current use, being opposite a large public car park, but are also suitable for other Tourist based uses or returning to an Industrial / Warehouse use, or possibly for a more comprehensive redevelopment. All of the above would be subject to the usual planning consents. Interested parties should make their own enquiries of the Dartmoor National Park.
