PROPERTY AND ACCOMMODATION

This Superb, Tastefully Updated Five Bedroom Detached 18th Century Cottage Will Be Perfect For Active Families.  With a short walk to moorland access, an attached balcony affording uninterrupted views of Cox Tor, Roos Tor and Smeardon Down, and the popular Mary Tavy Inn a short field walk away, life surely can't get much better than this!

Set within the beautiful and dramatic landscape of Dartmoor National Park, an AONB, this traditional stone cottage has gated access to an adjacent recreation ground with facilities for: tennis, football, basketball, children's play area, outdoor gym or simply dog walking.  All of this literally on your doorstep.

If you've got kids who love sports or active dogs who need to burn off some energy, having direct access to the recreation ground from the driveway and your back garden will be perfect.

And if you're starting to think life really can't get much better than this, I haven't even mentioned that there are excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits close by such as: horse-riding, walking, cycling, fishing and even gliding at nearby Brentor!

This traditional stone cottage has been tastefully updated so it retains the beautiful exposed stonework and wooden beams throughout but combines this with stylish modern design.

The end result is a superb blend of old and new, creating a welcoming and surprisingly spacious family home.

It retains the traditional ground floor layout, with a separate living room and a spacious dining room - both with beautiful exposed stonework and wooden beams.

The kitchen is stylish and modern - with sleek fitted units and recessed lighting that complement the more classic country kitchen floor tiles, wooden beams and Esse range cooker.

There’s a fabulous bathroom downstairs (with steps up) which matches the stylish look of the shower room up on the first floor.

The first floor has a large main bedroom with a balcony that looks out over the garden, recreation ground and Dartmoor.  There are another three double bedrooms and a smaller room that would be perfect as a dressing room, nursery or home office.

There's plenty of parking on the long gravel drive and a private south-facing garden which gets the sun throughout the day.

The garden has a large wooden outbuilding that’s currently home to a well-equipped gym but if you’re more creative it could easily become a workshop or studio.

Mary Tavy is a small village that’s around four miles from Tavistock.  In addition to the nearby Mary Tavy Inn it has a post office/village store nearby and an “Outstanding” Primary School.

Older kids have a little further to travel, with Tavistock College (rated “Good” by Ofsted) 15 minutes away by bus.

Whether you need to travel to the city for work, for a little retail therapy or to catch up with friends, you’ve got options.

It's only 45 minutes in the car to Plymouth or you can leave the car at the station and catch a train from Gunnislake, which will take just over an hour.  Alternatively, head to Okehampton train station which has a regular train service to Exeter.  There are also bus services to Plymouth via Tavistock or to Exeter via Okehampton.

This charming cottage offers far more than initially meets the eye. Beyond the lovely bedroom balcony and private garden with easy access to the park, you'll also find a stylish kitchen and two beautifully designed bathrooms that add to its appeal.

It’s in a quiet village location that could deliver an idyllic semi-rural lifestyle - without feeling too cut off from town & city life.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this superb family-friendly property so don’t miss your chance to view - call now to arrange a viewing.
