Situation, Description And Accommodation - This incredibly impressive residence sits within the heart of the moorland village of Princetown, adjacent to the neighbouring historic village church and with an open aspect on two other sides. The house enjoys a fabulous large plot amounting to an acre which benefits from a great deal of peace, privacy and shelter. There are spectacular views in several directions across neighbouring moorland towards the famous granite tors of Dartmoor and open moorland is accessible directly from the house within a few hundred yards. The house is extremely well-placed for lovers of the outdoors and those with an outdoors-oriented lifestyle, including large and active families.

Famed for its links to the Duchy of Cornwall, the late 17th-century village of Princetown offers a lifestyle that few other nearby locations could claim to match, and is perfectly positioned for exploring Dartmoor and all that it has to offer. All day-to-day amenities are close at hand, including shops, cafes and two popular public houses. Far enough onto the high moor to boast stunning, uninterrupted surroundings of granite-topped tors and heather-clad valleys, Princetown is yet close enough to the thriving town of Tavistock and coastal city of Plymouth to have every desirable convenience and facility on offer. These include a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational options, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly.

This is an exceptionally impressive detached former vicarage standing in an incredible 1-acre gardens complete with a separate 2-bedroomed coach house for holiday letting. The house itself, in common with the neighbouring Church, is understood to be Georgian in origin, and handsomely constructed of local cut and dressed granite beneath a slate-tiled roof. The exceptionally well-proportioned and versatile accommodation is arranged over four floors, to currently include six double bedrooms, three bath or shower rooms and an extremely useful converted lower ground floor, all beautifully finished and appointed with high-quality fixtures and fittings whilst also having retained many original features and traditional period details. Attached to the house is a self-contained, 2-bedroom converted coach house with consent for holiday letting, with the two properties linked via an extremely pretty stone walled courtyard. The house stands within some wonderfully arranged gardens on all sides, and is complete with a sweeping, gated driveway and double garage.

The house is accessed on the ground floor, initially through a granite vestibule which in turn leads through to the central reception hallway. The accommodation is full of original features and traditional detailing, most notably a number of sash windows (some with shutters), picture rails, ornate architraves, exposed stone work and several fireplaces. To one side of the hall is the living room, which is a bright, dual-aspect room overlooking a neighbouring meadow field. The room is centred around an attractive black marble fireplace housing a log burning stove. A door from the living room leads through to a snug sitting room, where there is a feature cast iron fireplace set within a slate surround. Across the hallway is the beautiful kitchen/dining room which is equipped with an excellent range of cupboards and cabinets across three walls with slate worktops over incorporating a 1.5-bowl sink with drainer sat on a central island, which itself incorporates an integrated Siemens dishwasher and dedicated refuse cupboard. To one side is a secondary sink and a second integrated Siemens dishwasher beneath the counter. There is a Rangemaster Hi-Lite cooker with 5-ring induction hob and double oven, plus space for an upright American-style fridge-freezer. The dining area features a beautiful marble fireplace housing a log burning stove, with additional bespoke kitchen dresser units either side. Off the kitchen is a boot room leading out to the property's garden and there is an extremely well-appointed cloakroom off the reception hall.

Stairs turn and lead to the first floor and on the half landing is a fully-tiled wet room comprising a high-specification shower unit with rain-style shower overhead and body-height jet, plus a circular bowl set into a vanity unit and finished with spot lighting. Off the first-floor landing are four extremely good size double bedrooms, each of which is very bright and boasts classical high ceilings, picture rails, original sash windows overlooking the property's gardens, and two of which also feature original fireplaces. Also on the first-floor landing there are two bathrooms, the larger of which is complete with a 4-piece suite to include a freestanding, oval clawfoot bath placed centrally in the room, a beautiful marble-topped vanity unit with an inset washbasin, and an ornate cast iron feature fireplace set on a marble hearth. On the second floor, the fifth and sixth bedroom are both of a tremendous size, with original gothic arched sash windows and eaves storage areas. Stairs from the reception hallway descend down to the lower ground floor where there are two versatile large, open rooms, one of which is currently serving as a well-appointed laundry room doubling as a games room, with the second room lending itself to use as a hobbies or play room, amongst other uses. There are original double doors leading out from the laundry room to the walled courtyard which provides access to the coach house.

The Coach House - The coach house was converted approximately 30 years ago and currently has consent for holiday letting. It is an attractive, stone-built conversion to match the principal dwelling, with separate access through the walled courtyard and double doors in from the parking area. Internally, on the ground floor, the coach house features a large, open reception room with slate flooring and an original stone fireplace with ornate timber surround, housing a Villager log burning stove. The two original coach house openings now provide extensive natural lighting. Off the reception room is a well-appointed kitchen with an excellent range of cupboards and cabinets incorporating an integrated dishwasher, a granite sink and part granite worktops, plus an electric oven with a 4-ring induction hob. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, with one currently set up as a twin room. Both have exposed ceiling timber lintels and ledge and braced doors. In addition, there is a separate bathroom featuring a traditional 4-piece suite.

Gardens And Grounds - The house sits centrally within a plot amounting to almost exactly an acre, with a beautifully mature and established lawn gardens on three sides. The house itself is set back from the road and accessed over a sweeping, gated gravelled drive flanked by deep colourful planted borders and mature trees. The lawns are similarly flanked by some well-established colourful borders and interspersed with a variety of mature shrubs and some areas left to regenerate as wildflower meadows. There are several areas created for seating, dining, barbecues and quiet enjoyment, whilst directly outside to the rear of the house is a large paved patio sun terrace with decked seating area. Finally, at the head of the drive is the detached double garage which is of concrete blockwork construction faced in matching stone, with power, lighting and pitched overhead storage. There is also an EV electrical vehicle charging point in the drive. Overall the gardens provide a wonderful and natural varied environment suitable for active families and keen horticulturalists alike.

Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage. Oil-fired central heating (separate supplies to the house and coach house). Please note that the Agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
