5 bed cottage for sale

Gulworthy, Tavistock, Devon PL19

Tamar Valley Cottage & Barn presents a great opportunity to acquire two detached full residential properties set in a rural plot of approx. 0.7 acres total located in the idyllic Tamar Valley. With one property move-in ready and the other requiring some remedial works, this property offers an opportunity to add value via a manageable project and achieve home + income or multi-generational living in the future.

Accommodation - The Cottage
The original single storey lodge-style cottage is a wonderful period property which is in need of some refurbishment and tlc – a great framework for you to create your ideal home upon. This cottage has wonderful character via gothic-style architecture including original arched windows, vaulted beamed ceilings, feature fireplaces and wide-plank wooden floors.
The current configuration includes a large kitchen/dining room, sitting room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have mezzanine areas above, taking advantage of the high vaulted ceilings and creating useful sitting or storage areas, with one of the staircases cleverly incorporating storage into each step.

Accommodation - The Barn
The detached converted stone barn has a separate entrance and driveway with parking for several cars. Over recent years, this property has been a highly successful holiday let for the current owners, though as it has full residential planning, it could equally serve as an independent property for rental or for dependant relatives. Another great option would be to live in the barn while refurbishing the cottage.
On the ground floor is a spacious living / dining room with wall of windows at one end and log burner for cosy winter evenings. At the other end of the building is modern kitchen with feature stone wall, made light and bright by the large Velux window in the vaulted ceiling. A modern bathroom is located between the kitchen and sitting room. Spiral stairs lead up to the first floor which has two double bedrooms and a further shower room.

Outside
The property sits within an approximately 0.7 acre total plot with areas of formal lawn gardens, shrubs, woodland and decking. Lawned gardens surround the cottage and barn. From here, a gate and path lead into an area of woodland and up to a large, decked sun terrace and summer house / storage shed which has previously been used by the current owners for BBQs with friends and family.
On the opposite side of the road is a further area of land also belonging to the cottage, historically used by the current owners to raise pigs, chicken and bees as well as for cultivating fruit and vegetables, but this area is currently overgrown in the main. There is also a useful garden shed. The vendor informs us that the property’s private drainage system and soakaway is located in this area of land.
