One bedroom annexe

Two garages and store
Attractive landscaped gardens
Private and tranquil setting
Far reaching countryside views THE PROPERTY The house is a fine example of Georgian architecture and is Grade II listed. The main body of the house dates back much further and was originally a Devon longhouse. In 2005 the house was extensively renovated and has since been well maintained. The quality of the work carried out is very apparent, the kitchen is bespoke and hand-built and also has an oil fired Aga. There are outstanding, far reaching countryside views from most bedrooms, which also look over the mature and beautiful gardens surrounding the house.
The house briefly comprises: Entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study, utility, conservatory, master bedroom with a large ensuite, 3 further double bedrooms and family bathroom.
To the rear of the main house is a courtyard leading to the 1 bedroom annexe and a detached 2 bedroom cottage, both with full residential use. The cottage has recently been extended into the adjoining barn to create a new kitchen, utility and bathroom. Both the cottage and the annexe provide useful income potential or accommodation for an extended family.
The courtyard also provides access to the General Purpose Stores and 2 garages, which have recently undergone renovation and damp proofing works, and to the store that is attached to the cottage.
Situated at the end of a no through road, the house has attractive gardens and these have been landscaped to make the most of the west facing views, which are predominantly on the south side. SITUATION The property is situated in a small hamlet 1 mile from Lamerton but, more importantly, just 3 miles from Tavistock. It is a peaceful and stunning location yet within easy access of the amenities offered in Tavistock, a thriving market town which offers good day-to-day shopping facilities with many smaller independent shops and a large supermarket. Education in the local area is excellent; Kelly College and Mount House Preparatory School and a range of primary schools and a college are in Tavistock and there are also popular village primary schools at Lamerton and Milton Abbot. Dartmoor National Park, with its extensive range of outdoor pursuits and some of the most scenic countryside in the county, is about 4 miles away. The property is ideally located for those looking to gain an income from the annexe and cottages. The views from the house and gardens are enviable, looking predominantly in a westerly direction towards Bodmin Moor in Cornwall.
The property is accessed at the end of the tarmacadamed parish lane (no through road) via a gated entrance opening out onto the gravelled parking area with stone paved path which leads up to the front of the property.
