SITUATION

This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a very well located house which comes to the market for the first time since it was built in the 1980s by Farnham Brothers (Youldon & Barrett Builders Ltd), a long established local firm and this house was tailored by the original builders at the time of construction specifically to meet the current owner's requirements. Chosen for its wide frontage this property, as a result, has tremendous scope for further expansion at the side (subject to consent being granted) and it is understood that the existing utility room and garage was built with this in mind. The property overall has been well kept and the original fittings are of good quality albeit that some may wish to undertake some updating for which there is also tremendous scope and potential. The position adjoining and with open views over the adjoining fields is excellent and the gardens at the rear whilst landscaped for easy maintenance adjoining a little stream do also have potential for alteration if required.

Buckland Monachorum is a picturesque village about 3 miles from Yelverton just outside the western boundary of the Dartmoor National Park. The village has a very good reputation where there is the Drake's Manor Inn, St Andrew's Church of England Primary School which is very well regarded, St Andrew's Church and Buckland Abbey the former home of Sir Francis Drake and now a property of the National Trust is just a few minutes drive from the village.

Yelverton provides a useful selection of shops including a supermarket, pharmacy, post office, doctor's surgery, dentist, bank, butchers shop, garage and a selection of hotels and inns whilst the ancient stannary town of Tavistock is about 6 miles away and the historic naval port of Plymouth about 10 miles. All of these collectively offer extensive educational, recreational, cultural and shopping facilities. The local community is served by school buses and a county bus service whilst the A386 Tavistock to Plymouth road facilitates easy access to the A38 just north of Plymouth and the A30 at Sourton, both dual carriageways, up to Exeter and the M5 motorway.

From the Plymouth mainline station there are train services via Exeter and Reading to London Paddington, whilst from Plymouth and Exeter airports there are collectively flights to London, the Channel Islands and by charter and other continental destinations. Brittany Ferries operate seasonal services from Plymouth to France and northern Spain.

Sporting and leisure facilities in the area are excellent, the Dartmoor National Park extends to over 300 square miles and provides ample opportunities for walking and riding. Sailing and other watersports are available within the Tamar and Tavy estuaries as well as from a number of venues along the nearby south coast, whilst there are golf courses at Whitchurch, Yelverton and a driving range at Saltash and St Mellion. There are also opportunities to fish, by arrangement, on the rivers Tavy, Walkham and Tamar together with a number of local reservoirs.

DIRECTIONS

On the southern edge of the village of Buckland Monachorum proceed through the main village street passing the primary school on the left. Then take the next left into Chapel Meadow and the house to be sold will be found at the bottom of the close.
