Property description
A wonderful detached family house of spacious proportions in an enviable residential area within mature gardens. Sitting room, 24' kitchen/breakfast room, study/library, utility, gallery landing, 4 bedrooms, bathroom, driveway, parking and garage, private south facing gardens with terrace and stream. Approximately 0.5 acre.
Straddling the fast flowing River Tavy below the western edge of Dartmoor, Tavistock stands in an heart of an area of tremendous natural beauty. This is a classic Westcountry market town with a good and interesting range of shopping facilities, various state schools and renowned public schools including preparatory and a senior college. Recreational facilities include nearby golf courses, cricket, rugby, football, tennis clubs, The Wharf Cultural Centre and indoor sports. The established residential area of Down Road comprises a broad mix of substantial individual houses and bungalows, generally set within generous gardens in a leafy setting. This is an enviable position within walking distance of the facilities of the town centre and the wide expanses of Whitchurch Down with Dartmoor National Park beyond. Plymouth (approximately 15 miles) with its fascinating waterfront offers the usual facilities including an airport, cross channel ferryport and a main line railway station with London Paddington approximately 3 hours away.
This individual detached house is believed to date from the 1930s. The property retains period features with improvements in recent years combining to create a comfortable home in a period setting. Improvements include the installation of hardwood double glazed windows on the south elevation and an excellent kitchen/dining room with gas fired Rayburn and French doors providing direct access to the south facing terrace and garden. The spacious entrance hall has a staircase rising to the galleried landing. At first floor level the four bedrooms have a fine outlook over the gardens and town. The gardens are a particular feature of the property, predominantly laid to lawn with a good degree of privacy and seclusion provided by the mature trees and shrubs.
