Situation - This impressive detached house forms part of a prestigious and sought-after development of 15 properties, discreetly located in one of Tavistock's most desirable residential areas. Occupying one of the larger plots on the upper side of the road, the property enjoys an elevated position which affords good privacy and some far-reaching views extending across the town towards Dartmoor (1.6 miles away) and the surrounding countryside.

Tavistock itself is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century. Today, the town centre (0.5 miles) offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. Plymouth is 15 miles to the south and the city of Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing transport to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links, international airport and the M5.

Description - This very impressive and extremely comfortable, executive-style house was built to a superb standard by Cavanna Homes, circa 2000/2001, and is a rare example of a contemporary home with design influence taken from mid-19th-century architectural style.

Internally, the house is bright, spacious and versatile, with detailing including decorative coving, ceiling roses and modern uPVC sash windows. The property has been both well-maintained and improved by the current owners, with the accommodation comprising 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 3 receptions, totalling 2,000sqft in all. Externally, the house is complemented by a large, part-walled garden to the rear and side of the house, which is not directly overlooked, plus a sizeable driveway and integral double garage providing off-road parking.

Accommodation - The ground floor accommodation can be summarised as follows: a bright, dual-aspect sitting room enjoying views away to the south and east, and centred around a stone fireplace housing a inset log burning stove installed in 2023; a triple-aspect conservatory with patio doors to the garden; a dedicated dining room, currently serving as a study and library, with a triple aspect overlooking the walled rear garden; a very well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, which is equipped with an excellent range of tasteful cupboards and cabinets, with granite worktops incorporating a Franke stainless steel sink, plus a matching central island and integrated appliances including a NEFF double oven, NEFF 5-ring hob and extractor and Bosch dishwasher; a separate utility/boot room, and a cloakroom.

On the first floor are the family bathroom and five bedrooms, of which four are doubles (all with built-in wardrobes) and two are en-suite, including the impressive master, which features an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, a walk-through dressing room and a stylish shower room, upgraded with high-quality fixtures in 2023.

The integral double garage has power, lighting and remote-controlled, up-and-over doors, and could be incorporated to further enlarge the accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
