3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A rare opportunity to purchase a semi-detached three-bedroom character cottage requiring refurbishment with garden, a large stone barn and yard adjacent which may be suitable for development. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
An increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a three-bedroom semi-detached country cottage, ripe for refurbishment, with its own garden and single garage. Adjacent to the cottage, there is a large stone barn within its own yard, which may be suitable for development as ancillary or separate accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Believed to date back in parts to the mid-19th Century, this characterful country cottage is located in a tranquil, rural setting along a private track, on the outskirts of the pretty moorland village of Peter Tavy, which nestles on the western flanks of the Dartmoor National Park and lies just four miles from the bustling town of Tavistock.

Tavistock is a thriving market town, fantastic for walking, cycling, and riding. This vibrant and friendly town hosts a wealth of restaurants and cafes selling locally produced food. Enjoy some shopping with the vast range of local independent shops, the pannier market, and award-winning farmers’ market. Primary and secondary education both state and private is well catered for in local schools. The Meadows located in the centre of the town provides a children’s play area, a bandstand, a sensory garden, tennis courts, bowling club and plenty of open space. 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.

Now requiring refurbishment and modernisation, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a conservatory, spacious reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, pantry, and downstairs shower room. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and bathroom. The upstairs rooms enjoy pleasant views over the surrounding countryside.

The cottage is kept warm by oil fired central heating served by a recently renewed boiler and an open fire in the sitting room.
