Period charm, large gardens and flexible rooms — ideal for family life in village Tavistock.
Sits on approximately one-third of an acre of mature gardens
Set in a picturesque village setting, this spacious character cottage sits on about one-third of an acre of well-established gardens. The property combines traditional features—exposed beams, Devon stone fireplaces and original floorboards—with contemporary upgrades such as a high-spec fitted kitchen, underfloor heating to key rooms and double glazing.
The ground floor offers flexible accommodation: a cosy lounge with multi-fuel burner, a second reception that could serve as a dining room or ground-floor bedroom, a large fitted kitchen with full-width picture window and an inner hallway providing study space, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms with good storage; plans have been drawn (not submitted) for a side extension to add an upstairs bathroom if desired.
Outdoor space is a major asset: lawned gardens, mature borders, a productive kitchen garden, three sheds, a powered heated greenhouse and two secluded courtyards. Driveway parking for several cars and a powered garage add practical parking and storage. The cottage is freehold, in a low-crime rural village with fast broadband and convenient local schools and amenities.
Important drawbacks: heating runs on oil (LPG for central heating noted elsewhere) and the original granite walls are likely uninsulated, which may increase running costs. There is currently only one family bathroom upstairs; planned extension work would require permissions. Some character properties of this age may need ongoing maintenance—buyers should arrange independent inspections and checks of services and structural condition.
