4 bedroom detached house for sale

A lovely detached four bedroomed country cottage standing in its own grounds and gardens of approximately 5 acres with super views over the beautiful Tamar Valley.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Standing in a particularly private and secluded setting, barely visible from the road and overlooking the picturesque Tamar Valley, this comfortable detached country cottage affords well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with many rooms enjoying super views over the large garden to the valley beyond.

Well maintained and tastefully decorated, the cottage has a warm and welcoming feel about it. On the ground floor, there is a cosy sitting room with woodburning stove, separate dining room, study, and a conservatory that has been added. Perhaps the heart of this home is the large kitchen/breakfast room with traditional beamed ceiling and dark green AGA. Off the kitchen is a utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor is a master bedroom with ensuite, a further three good sized bedrooms and a large shower room. Each bedroom is full of natural light with views over the garden and valley.

During their ownership, our clients have made a number of significant improvements, including a new roof covering, a new polycarbonate roof on the conservatory, new windows have been installed and the kitchen, shower room and ensuite have been refreshed.

Gunnislake is situated alongside the river Tamar with a good range of shops and primary schools, and public houses. There is an excellent playing field nearby and walks abound. Gunnislake is approximately 20 miles by road from Plymouth and 5 miles from both Callington and Tavistock. There is a regular train service to Plymouth city centre and good bus service to both Tavistock and Callington.
