Set on the very edge of Mary Tavy and adjoining open Dartmoor, this detached three-bedroom cottage delivers genuine rural living with spectacular moorland views and direct moorland access. The house combines an original period wing with later additions, creating versatile accommodation that includes two reception rooms, a generous master suite with en suite, and an internal link to a large double garage/workshop.
The gardens are private, well-established and thoughtfully arranged with paved and lawned areas, hidden corners and mature planting. Practical features include a separate utility room, ground-floor cloakroom with shower and an internal staircase into the garage. Where character remains, such as the sitting room with log burner and feature windows, the property also benefits from double glazing and oil-fired central heating.
Buyers should note a few material points: the home is heated by an oil boiler, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the construction is of a system-built type which may lack modern cavity insulation and could benefit from energy-efficiency improvements. Vehicular access includes a short track across moorland to the partially concreted drive. Council Tax sits in band E, reflecting running costs above average.
Offered with no onward chain and positioned for outdoor pursuits, this home suits buyers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle close to Tavistock and Dartmoor. It will particularly appeal to those who value privacy, generous outdoor space and a property with period character to maintain or enhance.
