Property description

UNIQUE, INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED, RURAL property set in grounds of approximately 0.7 acres. The house was designed by local architects Crookes & Spackman and built by the owners of the local quarry for its Chairman, using local slate and stone. It was constructed, we believe, in the early 1980's and offers SPACIOUS AND WELL PRESENTED ACCOMMODATION comprising four bedrooms (master with en-suite and dressing room), lounge, dining room, open plan kitchen/breakfast room/landing, family bathroom, cloakroom, utility room and integral double garage. The gardens are well maintained and offer good degrees of peace and privacy with level and sloped lawns, variety of well stocked borders, lightly wooded section and kitchen garden.

LOCATION:
This country house is ideally located for those wanting the rural lifestyle, situated as it is in this delightful river valley, yet lying less than two miles from the bustling market town of Tavistock. The town itself offers many facilities including a busy Pannier Market, many individual shops and businesses, full range of both state and private schools, Wharf Theatre, swimming pool and a wide selection of other recreational facilities. The city of Plymouth is only 15 miles distant, providing intercity rail links to the rest of the country, along with continental ferry links.
