SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Westcott House is a beautifully appointed country house, sympathetically improved and maintained by the current owners who have gone to great lengths to preserve the many attractive period features, including some impressive fireplaces, beamed ceilings, and joinery work, whilst creating a comfortable family home which is full of warmth and character.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with well-proportioned rooms including a spacious sitting room with Inglenook fireplace complete with woodburning stove and cloam oven, a separate dining room with heavily beamed ceiling and granite fireplace with woodburning stove, study, a country style kitchen with AGA, utility room and boot room.
On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms and a further single bedroom which is currently used as a study. The large family bathroom includes a cast iron roll top bath and there is a separate shower room. Many rooms enjoy super views over the garden and beyond.
Oil fired central heating is installed and the old windows have been replaced with period style double glazing in new wooden frames.
The house sits in its own formal garden, private and sheltered, with an additional area of garden located across the lane. Ample parking for several cars, rear courtyard, outbuildings including a former granary and piggeries, super views over the surrounding countryside, towards Dartmoor in the distance.

OUTSIDE
Located in a small, rural hamlet on the outskirts of Brentor and just five miles from Tavistock. The house is approached via a quiet country lane which leads to Westcott Farm and a cluster of surrounding houses.
A private driveway provides ample parking in tandem for several vehicles whilst a gate in the hedge provides pedestrian access via a cobbled path edged with a well-stocked border to the front door.
Adjacent to the houses, accessed off the sitting room, is a stone paved terrace with balustrade, perfect for taking in the evening sun. From here, a gently sloping gravel path leads up to the sheltered and private formal garden which is mostly laid to lawn with a long, raised bed and established borders, plants and shrubs providing an array of seasonal colour.
At the rear of the house is an enclosed courtyard, part gravelled and part cobbled. An aluminium framed greenhouse is sited here, alongside:
THE GRANARY
16’5” x 11’4”
of stone construction, rendered internally with power and light with two floors, for use as a workshop or for dry storage as required.
Over a narrow farm track, there is a second area of garden, again mainly laid to lawn except for a large vegetable plot which has been very productive in previous years and is now covered to keep the weeds down. There is also a large, netted soft fruit cage and a composting area.
In the lowest part of the garden, behind a neatly cut conifer hedge, is a fish/wildlife pond and a tranquil seating area from which to take in the super views that extend over the surrounding countryside, towards Dartmoor in the distance.
SERVICES
Mains electricity, mains water, oil fired central heating, private drainage.
OUTGOINGS
We understand this property is in band 'F ' for Council Tax purposes.
DIRECTIONS
Leave Tavistock's Bedford Square via Drake Road and continue on this road for approximately 3 miles before turning left, following the signposts to the car park for Brentor Church. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead marked Westcott. Continue along this quiet country lane, down the hill, before taking the turning on the right-hand side. The sign and entrance for “Westcott House” will then be found on the left.

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
