Located on the edge of moorland, a substantial Victorian family home offering stunning, multi purpose gardens totalling 1.5 acres and generous accommodation in an idyllic setting WITH PRIVATE GATED driveway, double garage & workshop.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Nestled in a Dartmoor Village, this beautifully presented 5-bedroom detached house offers the perfect blend of period charm and modern convenience.
Set on a generous plot of approximately one and a half acres, the property boasts original period features throughout, including high ceilings, decorative mouldings, and feature fireplaces that add warmth and character to every room. The house has been very well cared for by the current owners, having had a new kitchen, bathroom & boiler installed in the last ten years. The current accommodation lends itself to those just seeking a little more space or for multi generational living. The house could, with some minor changes, be split, to offer a generous size annexe with its own access.
Ideal for families or those seeking space and tranquillity, the home offers two well-appointed bathrooms, spacious living areas, and a large, bright, country style kitchen and utility room.
The garden, of approximately 1.5 acres, is a beautiful feature of this property. Professionally designed and planted about 20 years ago (by the firm of Hilliers which frequently shows at Chelsea), the majority is lawned with a number of trees, including magnolias and cherries, and shrubs including a number of fine camellias and rhododendrons.
A border leads from the terrace/patio down towards a summerhouse (power connected) overlooking a pond filled with beautiful waterlilies and other aquatic plants. The second part of the garden lies beyond a hornbeam hedge; an area with an abundance of colour and scent provided by a pergola covered with climbing roses and clematis with a variety of daylilies and other planting. Beyond this area, lies a lawn bordered with trees and rhododendrons. A springtime feature are the daffodils which include some rare varities.
Outside, the property features both a double garage and a single garage, providing ample parking and storage options.
Furzedon is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy peaceful rural living while remaining within reach of local amenities and transport links.
The property is close to amenities in Yelverton, which has a useful selection of shops, including the Co-op supermarket, a delicatessen, hairdressers, garage, doctor’s surgery, and dentist. The ancient stannary town of Tavistock is around 6 miles to the north, and it is particularly well located for a commute to the historic naval port of Plymouth about 10 miles to the south. Yelverton has regular bus services to both Tavistock and Plymouth, where the national rail network provides connections to London and countless other destinations. Plymouth also has cross-channel ferry services to both France and Spain, and has excellent sailing facilities, while Dartmoor National Park is on your doorstep. For golfers, the golf club is a stone’s throw away.

About this agent
Since then the company has developed both in terms of reputation and coverage across the region, but it all started here in Tavistock. The firm has changed location a number of times to allow for expansion - most recently, in 2017, we relocated our premier and head office to the new Plymouth Road site. This fantastic, high-profile estate agents office allows us to showcase the very best of residential property for sale and let, and incorporates our administrative division including finance office, sales progression, and residential lettings. Mansbridge Balment specialise in the sale of residential property in Tavistock and surrounding villages including Mary Tavy, Peter Tavy, Lamerton, Gunnislake, Brentor, Chillaton, Gulworthy, Milton Abbot, St Ann’s Chapel, Callington and the many villages and hamlets in and around. The team at Mansbridge Balment are vastly experienced in all aspects of residential estate agency and the office provides the perfect space and location for visitors to the town and locals alike. Nearby are both the town’s bus station and largest car park. The prominence of the office ensures it cannot be missed occupying, as it does, such an impressive location on the approach to the town centre. Selling and renting properties throughout the Tavistock area, Mansbridge Balment should be the first estate agent to contact.
