Description:
Substantial detached country house set centrally within fascinating grounds extending to about 10 acres, sitting above the River Cat with areas of woodland interspersed by a network of paths, three lakes, formal gardens, kitchen garden, enclosed field, a former stable block, double garage and delightful wildlife areas.
The property enjoys a private and secluded but not isolated position and comprises a four bedroom detached family home with reverse level accommodation, designed to enjoy the attractive views over its land. Forming part of the main house but with its own front door, there is a large self contained two bedroom annexe which offers further spacious accommodation for a variety of uses such as dependent relatives or, with some alteration, could be incorporated into the main house creating an even more substantial family home.
SITUATION
The property occupies a delightful plot in a tranquil rural setting, accessed off a minor country lane amidst wooded countryside within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about five miles to the west of the market town of Tavistock.
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. Also there is a Civil airport offering regular internal and continental flights plus ferry services to Roscoff, Brittany and Santander, Northern Spain.
DESCRIPTION
The property is a substantial detached country house which is set centrally within fascinating grounds extending to approximately 10 acres, sitting above the River Cat with areas of woodland interspersed by a network of paths, three lakes, formal gardens, kitchen garden, enclosed field, a former stable block, double garage and delightful wildlife areas.
The property enjoys a private and secluded but not isolated position and comprises a four bedroom detached family home with reverse level accommodation, designed to enjoy the attractive views over its land. Forming part of the main house but with its own front door, there is a large self contained two bedroom annexe which offers further spacious accommodation for a variety of uses such as dependent relatives or, with some alteration, could be incorporated into the main house creating an even more substantial family home.
Planning consent has been granted to extend the property further, if required, for the provision of a leisure complex comprising an indoor swimming pool and attached one bedroom annexe.
With its annexe, planning permission for leisure facilities, land and attractive setting lying just five miles from Tavistock and the open wilds of Dartmoor, this versatile property offers a number of alternative uses for either a single or dual family occupation or for those with dependent relatives or simply for those seeking peace and tranquility within a splendid rural setting.
