Situation
Youlditch House lies on the western flank of Dartmoor high above the River Tavy. From its elevated site it enjoys spectacular and far reaching views over the rural landscape as far as Bodmin Moor on the horizon. For those who wish to take advantage of the wide open spaces for outdoor recreation it is superbly placed with access almost directly out onto the moor below Cox Tor.

It is also conveniently close to the local market town of Tavistock and its outlying villages of which Peter Tavy is one of the most sought after. Tavistock historic town has a well deserved reputation as being a thriving community with many local amenities based around its picturesque town square.
There are many cafes, restaurants, pubs, local shops, clubs and societies, sports and entertainment facilities, and both state and private primary and secondary schools.

Although sitting amongst some of the most dramatic and restorative landscapes in the South of England, Youlditch House remains accessible to the wider world via the A30 dual carriageway to Exeter and the M5.

Description
Youlditch House is a former farmhouse that was extensively restored and improved by the vendors from 2003, preserving a vernacular style adding 21st century systems and comforts. It now offers stylish accommodation that makes the most of the stunning location including a large open reception room, fitted kitchen with adjoining dining room with fireplace. The principal bedroom and bathroom are on the ground floor. There are two staircases one at each end of the house and 3 further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The house is fitted out to a high standard with good use of oak joinery, quality kitchen and bathroom fittings.

Immediately above the house an equally impressive studio built in 2009 accommodates a large open space with plenty of natural light from the glazed walls. There is a kitchenette and shower room at the rear. The space is versatile as an arts, crafts, music studio, private gym, writers den or working from home.

The gardens principally comprise terraced lawns with shrubs. At an upper level there is a kitchen garden with greenhouse and at the lower level there is a gravelled seating area from where to admire the best of the views.
