5 bedrooms Property description
An exceptional, hugely impressive and substantial family home of over 5,000sq.ft, with a heated indoor pool suite, set amongst mature gardens and situated in Tavistock's most sought-after location. Incredible, Individual Statement Home; Beautiful 5-bedroom Accommodation; 6 Bathrooms, 4 Receptions; Long Gated Drive and Triple Carport; Easy Access to Tavistock Town Centre; Close to Open Moors at Whitchurch Down; Freehold; Council Tax Band: G; EPC Band: D.
Situation - The property is located in Tavistock's finest and most sought-after location, accessible to both the town centre (0.7 miles) and open moorland at Whitchurch Down (200 yards on foot, otherwise 0.4 miles), leading onto the full expanse of Dartmoor National Park. The property is perfectly located for active family life and those with an outdoors-oriented lifestyle, with the town's many facilities and amenities within easy reach, including the nearby golf club. Set back from the road by a long, gated drive, the house enjoys considerable peace, privacy and shelter within a plot amounting to 0.6 acres in all.
Tavistock itself is a thriving market town in West Devon, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site and offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly (1.3 miles), whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmers' markets are held. Plymouth is 15 miles to the south, and Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.
Description - This hugely impressive and distinctive residence makes for a simply wonderful family home, offering exceptionally comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation totalling in excess of 5,000 sq.ft, which has been finished to a remarkably high standard by blending high-quality modern fixtures with a characterful internal aesthetic. The house occupies a sheltered plot of over half an acre, featuring beautiful mature gardens on all sides. Of particular note is the indoor swimming pool suite - a real highlight for those with active family - whilst a long, electric-gated drive and triple carport complete the picture.
Accommodation - The accommodation provides five double bedrooms, four reception rooms and six bathrooms overall. Briefly, on the ground floor are: a spacious reception hallway; a living room with patio doors and a log burning stove; a striking, 23' orangery leading out to the gardens; a further sitting room/music or reading room; a dedicated study with a log burner and patio doors; a sizeable, superbly equipped kitchen/dining room featuring an Aga, a large island and granite worktops; a separate utility; two cloakroom, and; internal access to the heated pool suite, complete with its own plant room and shower facilities.
On the first floor are the five double bedrooms, of which four have en-suite shower or bathrooms, including the impressive master suite which also features a walk-through dressing room. The fifth bedroom is served by a standalone shower room.
Outside - Surrounding the house are some extremely pretty, mature gardens which have been thoughtfully arranged to provide a good mix of manicured lawns with well-stocked hedges and borders, private patio seating areas and raised boxes and beds for the avid plantsman. Located around the gardens are several sheds and stores, as well as a greenhouse. A triple carport and gravelled driveway, set behind electronic gates, provide ample parking space for numerous vehicles. The house benefits from a high degree of privacy and tranquility.
Services - Mains water, gas, electricity and drainage are all connected to the property. There is gas central and warm air heating throughout, as well as air conditioning. Ultrafast broadband is available and voice mobile/data services are available through all four major providers (Source: Ofcom's online service checker).
