Situation - This most appealing equestrian property is located at Rumleigh, a quiet and unspoilt settlement just outside of the large village of Bere Alston, on the Bere peninsula. The property enjoys some far-reaching views towards the river Tamar, and the Cornish village of Calstock with its iconic railway viaduct. Bere Alston is a perennially popular village located in the picturesque countryside of rural West Devon. The village is well-served by local amenities and facilities, including a Co-op mini-market, butchers and Post Office, and also benefits from a direct 25-minute rail service to Plymouth City Centre. Bere Alston forms the hub of an area known as the Bere peninsula, created by the confluence of the rivers Tamar and Tavy, which itself falls within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The area is, naturally, appealing to sailors and watersports enthusiasts, with nearby Weir Quay providing a boat yard and public slipway. The thriving market town of Tavistock, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site, is 6 miles away, offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private school, Mount Kelly. The famous port city of Plymouth is 15 miles to the south, whilst 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 - Offered to the open market for the first time in 34 years, with no onward chain, this well-rounded equestrian holding comprises a versatile, chalet-style bungalow in large gardens, several paddocks, stabling and outbuildings, amounting to 5.8 acres in all. The property's adaptable accommodation could be configured to provide up to five bedrooms and the potential no doubt exists for the footprint to be extended or remodelled (STP). Externally, there are extensive lawned gardens, amongst which are three outbuildings including a valuable home office, in addition to a sizeable, south-facing sun terrace positioned to take advantage of picturesque surroundings. Wrapping around the gardens are paddocks of approximately 5 acres, served by a good-quality timber stable block comprising three loose boxes plus a tack room and large hay store. Finally, the property benefits from a large gated drive, garage and carport. Some fine views of Calstock and the Tamar Valley are on offer from both inside and outside of the bungalow.

Accommodation - The accommodation is accessed on the ground floor initially via an entrance porch into the central hallway. The dual-aspect sitting room is centered around a log-burning stove on a slate hearth and enjoys a breath-taking distant view of the river Tamar through a large picture window. Adjacent to the sitting room are a separate dining room and the kitchen, which is equipped with a good range of cupboards and cabinets incorporating an integrated fridge and freezer, plus an electric range cooker. A separate utility room can be found across the hall, with a rear porch leading out to the sun terrace. Also on the ground floor are three bedrooms, including one single and one en-suite, plus a study/fifth bedroom, the family bathroom and a separate WC. Stairs rise from the hallway to a further bedroom converted from the property's loft space.

Outside - The property is accessed from the road into a gated drive where there is ample parking for several vehicles, in addition to a garage and attached carport. To the rear of the bungalow is a superb, south-facing sun terrace featuring a large timber pergola, perfect for entertaining or al fresco dining, with the terrace surrounded on three sides by extensive lawned gardens. Behind the garage, steps lead up to an extremely useful detached home office/studio space of timber construction, with power and lighting. Beyond the home office is the stable block which is of timber construction on a concrete base, comprised of three 11'3 x 11'3 loose boxes, a tack room and a large haystore, served by power and water connections. In all, the 5 acres of paddocks are arranged into several easy-working enclosures with predominantly post and rail boundaries, and separate road frontage in the northeastern corner of the site.

Services - Mains water and electricity. Private drainage via a Septic Tank. Oil-fired central heating. There are mains water troughs serving the paddocks. Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
