" A charming character cottage with detached double garage, ample parking and enclosed gardens, in a rural setting.

The cottage is set within the hamlet of Dimson which lies just to the north of Gunnislake. This is a rural community with some older cottages as well as some more modern homes.

Gunnislake lies on the steeply wooded banks of the River Tamar. It has village pubs and a small selection of shops, as well as a primary school and health centre. Notably the village sits at one end of the scenic Tamar Valley Railway - with regular services along the river-bank to Plymouth. The area is perfect for exploring Dartmoor, the south and north coast beaches and the attractions of Cornwall's far west. Close to hand, the Dartmoor town of Tavistock with its pannier market, pubs and restaurants is 4 miles distant and the National Trust house at Cotehele is near by as well as the Golf and Country Club at St Mellion.

This attached character cottage is constructed of solid masonry walls, painted externally under a tiled roof. We understand that it was originally three miners cottages many years ago, but the present owners have lived in the cottage for many years and during that time have undertaken considerable works. This includes the installation of oil fired heating, and double glazing to windows. There is the potential to utilize a first floor room over the kitchen which at the moment isn't used, but has the potential for a 4th bedroom, dressing room or en-suite, subject to regulations.

Outside is a mature garden which is bounded to one side by a natural hedge and the other a timber fence and fir hedging. This is of a good size, narrowing to a point and is mainly lawn but stocked with some shrubs.

There is a detached double garage with parking for five cars off road.

Viewing is advised to appreciate the rural location, accommodation and garaging.
