EPC Band: D

Situation - The property is situated within a very pleasant and extremely quiet cul-de-sac, where property sales have historically been exceptionally rare, on the western edge of Tavistock yet just 1 mile from the town centre. The house enjoys a lovely open aspect at the rear and enjoys attractive countryside views away to the west, particularly from the garden. Located at the head of the cul-de-sac, the house enjoys a larger-than average plot size and an additional degree of privacy. Tavistock is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century, and famed for being the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake. 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, some 15 miles to the south, offers extensive amenities. 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 extended, brick-built, semi-detached house was constructed circa 1970 and has not been on the open market for over 25 years - a noticeable trend in this desirable cul-de-sac of 21 houses, where only 14 sales have taken place since 1996. Currently in need of refurbishment, the house sits on a generous plot with plenty of space to the side and rear, which may present opportunities for a new owner to extend and/or remodel the accommodation, subject to any necessary consents or approvals. The house is accompanied by some well-established gardens on two sides which enjoy an open westerly aspect, framed partly by attractive stone walling and offering scope for growing or active families, as well as those with an eye for horticulture. Complete with an attached garage and off-road parking, this house offers tremendous potential for an incoming purchaser to create a home suited to their own tastes and requirements, in a location which is rarely extremely available.

Accommodation - You enter the property through the front porch directly into the entrance hall, with stairs leading up to the first floor. To the right, there is a large sitting room, centered around a log burner on a tiled hearth, with a stone fireplace surround. The room has been finished in a neutral décor with decorative ceiling coves. From the sitting room, an open archway leads to an adjoining dining room which benefits from a dual-aspect view over the rear garden and has large, sliding doors opening out on to the patio. Adjacent to the sitting room is a good size kitchen, with a good range of cupboards and cabinets to three walls and a lovely dual-aspect providing plenty of natural light. The kitchen currently includes a 4-ring gas hob and electric oven beneath, with an integrated pull-out extractor hood and integrated appliances. There is sufficient worktop space for all small appliances and the kitchen has been neatly finished with floor-to-ceiling tiles. At first floor level are the three bedrooms and bathroom. The principal and second bedroom are both good size doubles with fitted wardrobes and dresser units, with the second bedroom in particular benefitting from an attractive outlook over the rear garden. The third bedroom is a single and, in common with the principal bedroom, enjoys a front-facing view down the cul-de-dac towards surrounding countryside in the distance. Finally, there is a family bathroom featuring a 4-piece suite including an enclosed shower, panelled bath, WC and wash basin, finished with floor-to-ceiling tiles.

Outside - To the front of the property is a small garden with a paved footpath leading up to the front door, enclosed by a low brick wall with wrought iron railings. There is gated access to the side of the property through a brick archway that leads to the rear garden. An undoubted highlight, the established rear garden is part-enclosed by stone walling and has been maintained with mature beds and bordered containing a variety of plants, shrubs and bushes. To the side of the house, outside the dining room, is a paved patio area from where a pathway leads through the principal lawn to a timber shed, greenhouse and log store. There is an attractive, open view over beautiful countryside away to the property's west. An attached garage can be found to the front of the house, with a small workshop area to the rear and additional tandem off-road parking space for two vehicles available in front.
