A delightful detached property in a sought-after location close to the golf club. Four bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, garage/workshop. Large gardens (approximately 0.7 acre) offering potential scope for development - subject to planning consent.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Located in one of Tavistock’s most desirable residential areas, close to town but also within easy reach of Tavistock Golf Club, Whitchurch Down, and Dartmoor, this detached family home occupies a particularly private and secluded plot in an enviable position.
On the market for the first time is this delightful detached family house dating from 1959 and retaining much of the style and features of the era. Situated a short distance from Tavistock Golf Club and Whitchurch Down, the property stands in mature gardens of approximately 0.7 acres with lawns, trees, shrubs, vegetable areas and fruit garden. Further gardens to the front include lawn, driveway parking leading to the garage/workshop and a further mix of dwarf acers and other trees and shrubs providing a degree of privacy from the road. The elevation of the location affords views of the nearby countryside - in particular towards Brentor Church in the middle distance.
Despite the growth of nearby trees, there is still a very pleasing outlook towards Brentor and other local landmarks.
The original house was extended on the ground floor to increase the spaciousness of the kitchen/breakfast room and the sitting room, which extends to 25' by 20'. The attractive main hallway includes the elegant staircase and leads to the sitting and dining rooms. There is also a cloakroom. A side doorway, adjacent to the garage, provides side access and leads to the kitchen/breakfast room complete with Aga with pantry and further storage areas.
Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, the master with shower, and family bathroom. The good-sized garage incorporates a useful workshop to the rear. Originally built in 1959 and extended in 1976 the house retains a number of the original design features and styles. Much of the carpentry work has incorporated the use of melamine - this extends to the staircase and most of the internal doors, architraves and skirting boards. The kitchen and sitting room showcase the use of local Hurdwick stone.
The rear gardens extend some distance from the house itself - they are delightful and include sweeping lawns interspersed with trees and shrubs with winding pathways. There is a former vegetable garden and further area with fruit trees and bushes. The garden offers scope for potential development of another dwelling, or dwellings, subject to the necessary consent.
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a fine property in one of Tavistock's most prestigious and sought after locations. Whether left as a stylish family home benefitting from substantial gardens and grounds, or developed to create a further dwelling, or dwellings, the property has much to offer.
Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park fantastic for walking, cycling and riding. This vibrant and friendly town hosts a wealth of restaurants and cafes selling locally produced food. Enjoy some shopping with the vast range of local independent shops, the bustling pannier market and award-winning farmers’ market. Primary and secondary education both state and private is well catered for in local schools. The Meadows located in the centre of the town provides a children’s play area, a bandstand, a sensory garden, tennis courts, bowling club and plenty of open space. 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. There are also ferry services to Roscoff, Brittany and Santander, Northern Spain.
