Summary - GLEN TORS, 130 OLD EXETER ROAD TAVISTOCK PL19 0JB
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Refurbished 1930s house with annexe income and Dartmoor views.
Direct, panoramic views towards Dartmoor and surrounding countryside
Set on the fringes of Tavistock with direct views across the town to Dartmoor, this newly refurbished 1930s detached home combines period character with contemporary living. Large windows and a bright conservatory make the most of the outlook, while the living room’s woodburning stove and solid oak kitchen worktops give a warm, high-quality feel throughout. The property is well suited to families seeking space and countryside access, with good schools and local amenities close by.
A major practical benefit is the self-contained first-floor annexe currently used as a lucrative Airbnb, providing flexible guest accommodation or a rental income stream. The generous gravel driveway, integral garage and secure private gates deliver straightforward parking for several cars. The rear patio, lawn and mature hedging create an extensive, private garden ideal for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the views.
Buyers should note a few material points: the home is heated by electric storage heaters which can be costlier than gas or oil systems; the property uses private drainage to a septic tank; and the cavity walls are recorded as “no insulation (assumed)”, which may affect running costs and could need upgrading. Council Tax is Band F, reflecting the property’s size and location. These are manageable issues for buyers prepared to invest in ongoing efficiency improvements.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-presented family home with immediate rental potential from the annexe and lots of scope to personalise. It will suit purchasers who value outlook and space on the edge of town, and investors looking for a proven short‑stay income stream alongside a principal residence.
