5 bedroom property for sale

Situation Nestling at the heart of the Tamar Valley, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, Morwellham is centred around the historic Victorian quay, mine and farm. Morwellham is the highest navigable point of the River Tamar and the quay is said to have been in use for over a thousand years, initially serving the communities owned by the Abbey of Tavistock, and later as a port serving the local mining industry. The quay has been restored and now operates as an open air museum depicting the nineteenth century port and adjoining busy copper mine. Morwellham lies approximately four miles to the south west of the bustling market town of Tavistock.

 


Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park and was in 2004 voted the winner of a nationwide survey undertaken by the Council for the Protection of Rural England involving 120 other market towns. Among the assets taken into consideration were history, architecture, community spirit, planning sensitivity, recreational facilities and individuality of shops and businesses. Additional attractions include a hospital, a bustling Pannier Market and a full range of schools both State and Private. Indeed Tavistock can claim to have everything adding up to a quality of life which would be hard to rival.

Plymouth is only 15 miles away with fast Inter City rail links to London, Bristol and the North. Also there is a Civil airport offering regular internal and continental flights plus ferry services to Roscoff, Brittany and Santander, Northern Spain.

Located in a commanding position above the quay, the property benefits from far reaching views along the valley.
