SITUATION This hugely impressive home is located in a desirable cul-de-sac on the fringe of Whitchurch, yet within easy reach of Tavistock town and open moorland at Whitchurch Down. Tavistock itself is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held. Plymouth is 14 miles to the south and the city of Exeter lies 41 miles to the northeast, providing transport to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links and the M5.
DESCRIPTION This extremely well-rounded and exceptionally well-maintained home is truly one-of-a-kind. Inside and out, the house has been thoughtfully, lovingly and comprehensively refurbished and improved over a period of time to create a home which now offers comfort, quality and modern convenience in equal measure. Furthermore, our clients have themselves crafted and fitted a range of bespoke, handmade fixtures, with incredible attention to detail, which give the property an air of distinction and individuality. These include the superb handcrafted kitchen, a library wall in the sitting room (complete with a rail), bespoke wardrobes and bedroom furniture, bathroom vanity units and other beautiful finishing touches. Similarly, the garden has been cleverly landscaped to offer a mix of manicured lawn, mature planting providing peace and privacy, practical decking and patio areas, and a brilliantly designed BBQ/seating area straddling a gentle brook which runs along the rear boundary. Complete with a double driveway, garage and workshop, this property must be viewed to fully appreciate the quality and skilful craftsmanship that make this home truly unique.
ACCOMMODATION Entering the property under a striking wisteria, the entrance hallway gives access to the sitting room, kitchen and WC, along with creative under-stairs storage for cloaks and boots. The dual-aspect principal reception room is utilised jointly as a sitting room and home office/library with its bespoke, full-height library wall. Adjacent is the incredibly impressive, bespoke kitchen, handmade by our clients with a wonderful selection of birch ply cupboards and cabinets with hand-painted tulip wood face frames and solid oak worktops over. Features include a cleverly designed, slide-out butcher's block, wine and tray racks, and separate vegetable baskets, all of which have been incorporated to create a dream kitchen for a keen chef. Appliances include a Villeroy and Boch Belfast sink and an integrated slimline dishwasher. Double doors lead out into the bright and sunny conservatory which is centrally heated, overlooks the greenery of the rear garden and is currently used as a dining area. The utility room is also accessed off this room and has further units with solid oak worktops, second Belfast sink, larder cupboard and space for two under-counter appliances. The utility leads out into the garage, part of which is currently used as a workshop with power and lighting, where there are stairs up to a large storage loft over. The last room situated on the ground floor is the stylish WC which has part-panelled walls, a hand-built vanity unit with inset wash hand basin and oak surfaces, waterproof laminate flooring and low-level WC. The stairway from the hallway up to the first floor is another statement piece created by our clients and incorporates oak handrails, stainless steel newel caps and stair rods. At first floor level are the four bedrooms, all fitted with Cormar wool, heat-sealed carpets, and the family bathroom. The master bedroom has smart, fitted wardrobes with a pull-down upper rail for ease of access and two large shoe racks with the lower rack extending out to make the most of the storage space. The accompanying en-suite shower room is equipped with another handmade vanity unit with countertop sink, anti-mist motion sensor mirror, Hudson-Reed shower with thermostatic rain shower head, low-level WC and an electric towel radiator. The two further double bedrooms both overlook the garden, whilst the family bathroom features a three-piece suite including a P-shaped bath with rain head, a separate extendable shower and an anti-mist motion sensor mirror.
OUTSIDE The outside of this property perfectly mirrors the interior as it has been thoughtfully landscaped and impeccably maintained. The front of the property has a tarmac driveway providing parking and access to the garage. Again, the rear garden is pristine with a manicured, block-edged lawn and mature specimen planting, with a wonderful handmade log lap tool shed to one side. A sandstone patio and composite decking provide lovely areas for alfresco dining, BBQs or entertaining, whilst a unique seating area with firepit has been erected over the brook that edges the garden, creating a tranquil spot to enjoy the open fields and wildlife beyond.
