Set on the fringe of Tavistock with sweeping views across town, countryside and Dartmoor, Sunnymount is a substantial detached family home offering flexible living across an expansive footprint. The property’s five reception rooms include a large open-plan kitchen/diner, sitting room and dedicated games/music rooms — ideal for multigenerational living, home working or leisure pursuits. An east wing and separate rooms above the garage present clear annexe potential.
The gardens are a major asset: very large, well-landscaped grounds with lawns, mature trees (including a Monkey Puzzle), ornamental pond and extensive patios for outdoor entertaining. A long private drive with cattle grid leads to generous parking and a double garage with workshop/store above — useful for vehicles, hobbies or storage.
Practical features include 19 solar panels (reducing running costs), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Services are a mix: mains electricity with private water and drainage and oil-fired central heating. The solid granite walls and double glazing give character but the walls are assumed uninsulated, which may need attention to improve thermal performance and EPC rating.
Important drawbacks you should know: the property dates from c.1900–1929 so some parts will need modernisation and there is an EPC of 67 (D). Heating runs on oil (not a community supply) and both water and drainage are private. Council Tax is in a high band (Band G). These are manageable for the right buyer but are material factors to consider alongside the house’s size and setting.
