Roborough Common is less than half a mile away, Tavistock is 6 miles to the north, the centre of Plymouth is 9.5 miles to the south, and Derriford Hospital is within 6.5 miles.

There is also an excellent bus route connection to both Plymouth and Tavistock. For the sports enthusiast, there are golf, cricket, tennis and bowling clubs. In all, Yelverton offers a very high standard of living with a wonderful sense of community.

Description - This hugely individual and deceptively spacious home, of some local historical note, is believed to be one of the oldest residences in its locality - the extremely desirable "Ellas", close to Yelverton's centre - and has an interesting past which, we understand, includes spells as a garage, a vehicle hire centre and, most recently, a piano centre. The property was acquired by our client a few years ago and has since undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and remodelling, resulting in a very large, versatile and comfortable character home which is attractively finished and presented, and offers tremendous further potential. The principal accommodation comprises four double bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and four reception rooms, including a semi-self-contained ancillary extension, plus a very large, 33' x 22' integral garage/workshop and stores. Externally, significant effort has been put into creating a pretty lawn garden, and there is ample parking on a good-sized gated drive.

Accommodation - The property is accessed into a large reception hallway, although there are two other entrances into a side hallway and the ancillary extension. The ground floor is briefly summarised as follows: a bright, dual-aspect sitting room focused around a feature fireplace, now a display recess; a dual-aspect kitchen with a good range of cupboards and cabinets, and timber worktops incorporating a double ceramic sink, integrated Hoover 4-ring induction hob and AEG oven, and; a large dining/family room with a picture window overlooking the garden.

On the first floor, there are four extremely generously sized double bedrooms, of which one has double fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, and another is served by its own tasteful, contemporary en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is also of a fantastic size and is beautifully finished with both a freestanding oval bath and a large walk-in shower enclosure with a rain-style shower head.

Linked to the house via the substantial attached garage, are a study/music room, a kitchenette, a cloakroom and a large games/family room which could be put to a number of different uses, including the creation of an annexe, or home working/business use, for example as an office or treatment room. The garage itself, currently a utility room and large storage area, also provides a number of options. It would be particularly suitable for those with a classic car or machinery collection, or could be utilised as a sizable workshop. It could also be adapted for business use, potentially in conjunction with the ancillary accommodation described above, or incorporated into the main accommodation as a large garden/reception room (which was actually provided for in the original planning consent), or several smaller rooms, subject to any necessary consents or approvals.

Outside - The house is approached via a large, gated, block-paved driveway which would accommodate several cars and/or a caravan or other larger vehicles. The gardens wrap around the south and west sides of the house, having been thoughtfully restored and landscaped to include a new drystone wall boundary and a principal lawn interspersed with pretty shrubbery and trees, and a small wildlife pond.

Services - Main electricity, gas, water and drainage. Gas-fired central heating throughout (supplied by two boilers). Ultrafast broadband is available. Mobile voice/data services are available with EE, O2 and Vodafone (source: Ofcom's online service checker). Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
