Property description

A rare opportunity to purchase a character detached house set in approximately 1 acres of gardens within the highly sought after village of Lydford. In need of some modernisation, the property offers good size rooms which have retained much of their original character. Extended in the early 1980's and it now benefits from some double glazing and calor gas fired central heating. Pomeroys also enjoys beautiful gardens and a copse which extends to 1 acres. There is possible potential for development within the gardens subject to necessary planning consent. An internal viewing is the only way to fully appreciate this charming property. Lydford is an ancient village providing a full range of facilities including two inns, a church and primary school. Tavistock, which is a thriving market town (voted best Market Town in 2003), is situated some 8 miles distant on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park. Within Tavistock there is an excellent variety of educational, recreational, cultural and shopping facilities, including primary and secondary schools (State and Private including Mount House, Kelly College and Tavistock College), a health centre, veterinary practice, banks, churches, hotels, shops and offices.
