Summary - 5 OLD EXETER ROAD TAVISTOCK PL19 0JE
4 bed 2 bath Town House
Spacious double-fronted Georgian home with tiered garden and town-centre convenience.
Double-fronted Georgian townhouse with period features throughout
A double-fronted Georgian townhouse in the heart of Tavistock, this deceptively spacious home offers flexible living across three floors and a tiered rear garden with elevated town views. Character features are abundant — original floorboards, fireplaces and sash windows — and recent additions include a new kitchen, log burner and majority double glazing. The master bedroom benefits from a modern en suite, and there is scope to use the ground-floor reception as a fourth bedroom or snug.
The property will suit a family seeking central convenience, schools nearby and fast broadband, or a buyer looking for a character home with immediate living comfort. Practical points include on-street parking with residents’ permits and freehold tenure; the layout includes useful storage, a laundry/utility room and several reception spaces ideal for everyday family use or entertaining.
Buyers should note material constraints: the house sits within a conservation area, so exterior alterations are restricted, and the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs or the need for sensitive upgrading. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, and access to off-street parking is limited. There is also potential to modernise further if a buyer prefers a more contemporary finish.
Overall this is a character-rich town-centre home offering a rare combination of period charm, versatile accommodation and a sunny, tiered garden with views — provided buyers are comfortable with conservation restrictions and the practicalities of on-street parking.
