BEAUTIFUL DETACHED STONE COTTAGE retaining a wealth of CHARACTER and period features with well designed GARDENS quietly situated in the HIGHLY DESIRABLE VILLAGE and in
close walking distance of the village amenities and open moorland. Formerly the village Post House the cottage has been CONSIDERABLY IMPROVED and updated over recent years.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A sympathetically restored and beautifully presented three-bedroom, detached, stone built home, full of warmth and character, located in the heart of the popular moorland village of Peter Tavy and within short walking distance of open moorland, Dartmoor and an excellent local pub, The Peter Tavy Inn!
Formerly the village Post House, the property was carefully and sympathetically restored to create a comfortable home of some distinction, full of character, with a warm and welcoming feel about it.
The open plan living and dining area is a particularly attractive feature, centred around the woodburning stove. An attractive country style kitchen has been installed with oak frontages and varnished work tops, a separate island and a (LPG) gas range cooker. The ground floor has slate flagged flooring whilst an oak staircase rises to the first floor, where wide plank oak floorboards have been laid. Oak doors and trims have been installed as has double glazing in hardwood frames.
The house is warmed by underfloor heating, served by a Worcester oil fired boiler.
Outside, the house stands side on to the quiet road that passes through the village. Pedestrians approach via a meandering gravel path leading to the front door and porch. To the rear, a gravelled driveway provides parking and vehicular access to the double garage. Beyond the driveway there is a private and sheltered, walled courtyard, a decked seating area, perfect for outdoor eating and entertaining; steps lead up to a raised, lawned garden with pleasant views towards the church.
Please note that this property is being sold with no onward chain.

OUTSIDE
The cottage is surrounded by well designed gardens.
The front is enclosed by a low natural stone wall with a small and pretty stream running alongside, a driveway to one side with a wooden five bar gate provides access to the rear garden. A pedestrian wooden five bar gate opens to a gravelled footpath leading to the front door. The front garden is laid to lawn.
To the other side of the cottage is an additional gravelled driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles and providing access to the rear garden, detached garage and utility room.
The good sized rear garden has been cleverly designed and tiered over three levels providing three distinct areas.
The lower level which is accessed from the five bar gate and also from the sitting room is enclosed by a natural stone wall and is completely decked with steps and gated access to the middle tier which can be accessed from the half landing and again enclosed by a high natural stone wall. This area is part decked with a slate/gravelled patio area with outside lights provides a wonderfully sheltered spot for outside dining and entertaining. From here a brick archway leads to the gravelled driveway and steps lead up to the main section of garden which has an expanse of lawn borded by natural Devon hedging and enjoys lovely far reaching outlooks over the village and countryside beyond.
