Description:

Detached and extended period country cottage set in grounds of approximately 0.75 acre, with light and spacious accommodation designed to take full advantage of the stunning and far-reaching birds eye views over the River Tamar, across to Morwellham Quay and towards Dartmoor.
The accommodation comprises a sitting room with feature stone fireplace, snug with open access into the dining room, kitchen, boot room/utility room and shower room on the ground floor, master bedroom with dressing area, two further bedrooms, family bathroom, separate WC on the first floor.
There is off-road parking for two vehicles at the front of the cottage whilst a driveway to the rear provides parking for a number of further vehicles and leads to an extremely useful 39ft wooden outbuilding, currently used as a storage area, workshop and utility area.

SITUATION
The property occupies a plot of approximately 0.75 acres in a delightful elevated position off a minor country lane on the fringes of the Cornish village of Calstock and enjoys stunning panoramic views over the River Tamar and across the surrounding Cornish countryside into Devon and Dartmoor beyond.
Calstock is a popular village, ideally situated for the sailing enthusiast, having its own quay, mooring facilities and boatyard. The village has adequate shopping facilities, public house, restaurant and social club, and there is a regular train service into Plymouth city centre (approximately half an hour by rail and 20 miles by road). There are bus services to Tavistock (approximately 8 miles away) and Callington (approximately 6 miles distant) with easy access to both Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. There is a primary school in the village and a school bus service to Callington Comprehensive School. The scheduled bus service to Tavistock is used by pupils travelling to Tavistock College.

Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park and was in 2004 voted the winner of a nationwide survey undertaken by the Council for the Protection of Rural England involving 120 other market towns. Among the assets taken into consideration were history, architecture, community spirit, planning sensitivity, recreational facilities and individuality of shops and businesses. Additional attractions include a hospital, a bustling Pannier Market and a full range of schools both State and Private. 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.
