SITUATION This quietly located property sits in a well-regarded cul-de-sac on the very edge of Tavistock, within approximately 3/4 of a mile of the town centre. The situation is ideally suited for those seeking a high degree of privacy and tranquillity.
Tavistock 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, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly, 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, some 15 miles to the south, offers extensive amenities with the added attraction of its coastal access and the Mayflower Marina. The cathedral city of Exeter lies some 40 miles to the northeast, providing transport connections to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links and the M5 motorway.
DESCRIPTION This sizeable and very versatile home is located in a private, peaceful and sheltered position towards the north-western fringe of the town, and is available, chain-free, for the first time in 21 years. The accommodation is arranged with several reception areas on the ground floor and five well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor, providing a good degree of flexibility which, in combination with the outside space, make the house ideally suited to family life. Of particular note is the extensive rear garden, which provides a verdant backdrop for the house and will appeal to more active families, keen horticulturalists and those with a more outdoors-oriented lifestyle. The plot in all is 0.38 acres (see our location plan).
