Situation - This property is positioned in the heart of Tavistock, just a stone's throw away from the bus station and the vibrant town centre. Tavistock is a thriving market town rich in history dating back to the 10th Century and is famed for being the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake. Today, the town offers 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, providing an extensive range of amenities and lively entertainment, with no shortage of water activities perfect for the watersports enthusiast. 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 - Constructed circa 1840, this Grade II listed Victorian semi-detached house stands as a testament to timeless elegance. With four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms over four stories, the property spans a substantial 2,400 square feet, blending historical charm and character with modern comfort. Notably, a rare and valuable asset to this property is its large driveway and parking area, an uncommon feature given its proximity to the town centre. At the rear, a walled rear garden has direct access to the town's canal. The house is offered to the market with the added benefit of no onward chain.

Accommodation - Upon entering the apex porch, you're welcomed by the Victorian charm of mosaic flooring. To one side is a tiled-floored downstairs cloakroom, and passing through the stained glass door from the porch leads into a central hallway. There is classic wooden flooring throughout the ground floor, and a central staircase guiding you both upward to the first floor and downward to the lower ground floor. To the right of the hallway is the dining room, featuring an open fireplace with a black marble surround. Large sash windows provide views across the rear walled garden, enhancing the room's appeal. On the left side of the hallway, the living room beckons with a multi-fuel wood burner, complemented by a slate and marble surround. There is period detail in the form of ornate coving and picture rails, while the large bay sash windows, complete with operational shutters, fill the room with natural light. Descending to the lower ground floor, the utility room with plumbing for machines stands directly in front, leading to a WC/porch at the room's end. Wooden beams on the ceiling and stone-faced walls retain a rustic charm, with a small door providing access to the rear garden. On the left, the kitchen offers ample space for a dining table and features a walk-in pantry, whilst a further external door leads out to the garden's paved patio. Across from the kitchen, a sizable basement room presents versatile possibilities - from a potential 5th bedroom to an additional dining room, cinema or games/hobbies room. Ascending to the first floor, the shower room is directly ahead on the landing. To the left is a generously sized double bedroom featuring a large sash window overlooking the rear garden. This room is accentuated by picture rails all around and is complemented by fresh carpeting. On the right off the landing, another double bedroom has characterful floorboards and charming sash windows providing views across Tavistock. On arrival to the second-floor landing area, directly ahead is a family bathroom complete with a three-piece suite to include a bath with electric shower over. Also on the second floor are two further, good-size double bedrooms beneath the pitch of the roof, offering either an outlook over the garden to the rear or a view of the townscape to the front.

Outside - Entering directly from Plymouth Road, a stone-walled gateway guides you onto a gravelled driveway leading to both parking and the front door. To the left of the driveway is a lawned front garden. A gate around the side of the house opens to a pathway leading to the rear garden. Just off the kitchen is a patio area, followed by a slate patio further up. A path leads through the lawned garden, bordered by flower beds along the walls. At the garden's end sits a new garden shed, with steps beside it leading down to a gate. Beyond this gate lies the tranquil canal, providing a serene and picturesque backdrop to the property.

Services - All mains-supplied services are connected, with gas central heating throughout. Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
