Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park and was in 2004 voted the winner of a nationwide survey undertaken by the Council for the Protection of rural England involving 120 other market towns. Among the assets taken into consideration were history, architecture, community spirit, planning sensitivity, recreational facilities and individuality of shops and businesses. Additional attractions include a hospital, a bustling Pannier Market and a full range of schools both State and Private. Indeed Tavistock can claim to have everything adding up to a quality of life which would be hard to rival. DESCRIPTION A former village school house which was originally built in 1866 of natural stonework with attractive brick quoins and detail under a natural slate roof. The original classroom combined living and dining and kitchen areas with a gallery above and a high vaulted ceiling. In the 1880s the property was extended to the side to provide an additional classroom which has since been sub-divided to enable the accommodation to be used either as a comfortable family home, a home with annexe, a bed & breakfast or a holiday home. The gardens are a particularly attractive feature and enjoy a high degree of privacy. There is a level lawned garden, ample private parking, a useful range of outbuildings including a garage, log store and potting shed and a productive vegetable garden. There are pleasant views to the west over the neighbouring paddock towards the countryside beyond.
