Situation - This hugely desirable property is located at Week, some 5.5 miles to the north of Tavistock in West Devon. Once a Duke of Bedford model farmstead during the mid-1800s, today the site comprises 10 high-quality homes offering an extremely comfortable and peaceful lifestyle in a beautiful, semi-rural setting. Tavistock is a thriving market town, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held. Plymouth is 15 miles to the south and the city of Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing transport to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links and the M5.

Description - This immaculately finished, single-storey barn conversion is presented in outstanding condition and in an extremely tasteful, country style, ideal for those downsizing or retiring, or those seeking a holiday home/letting opportunity. Occupying a good size plot of approx. 0.37 acres, it is the only detached property on the entire Week complex - set to one side of the others (see our location plan) - as well as being one of only two not Grade II Listed. This affords the property a much greater degree of privacy and tranquillity, whilst also opening up the option to extend and, thereby, add value, which our clients have previously explored (see below.) Externally, there are some beautifully landscaped gardens enjoying an open aspect to the west, and a large detached double garage. Residents at Week have their own tennis court and exclusive, 24-hour access to a purpose-built leisure suite including a heated indoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi spa, gym area and dry sauna served by changing rooms, showers and Wifi, making this a truly remarkable lifestyle opportunity.

Accommodation - The accommodation features various character elements, such as travertine tiled flooring, timber doors and vaulted ceilings. Off the central hallway are doors to a utility cupboard, the bathroom, second bedroom and kitchen/reception room. The vaulted reception is an extremely striking room comprising sitting and dining areas which benefit from three sets of patio doors out to the garden. To one side, the kitchen is equipped with a set of high-quality cupboards and units, incorporating black granite work surfaces, an integrated fridge and dishwasher, Samsung induction hob with Cooke and Lewis extractor over and Neff oven beneath. Both double bedrooms have vaulted ceilings, enjoy plenty of fitted full-height wardrobe and storage space, and lead out to the garden via patio doors. Finally, the fully tiled bathroom is finished with high-quality fixtures including an oval bath with shower over, plus a stylish sink set into a vanity unit.

Outside - The property's private gardens and a real highlight, comprising several areas cleverly landscaped for interest and enjoyment. Directly outside the reception room is a large, covered flagstone slate veranda, ideal for entertaining or dining al fresco. The principal lawn contains a summerhouse, shed and greenhouse, and features a seating area ideally positioned for the beautiful westerly views. Adjacent is additional, fenced "paddock garden" providing versatile space for those looking to keep small livestock, with energetic pets or designs on additional landscaping. Behind the property is a large double garage en bloc, with twin remote-controlled doors.

Services - Mains water and electricity. Oil-fired central heating. Drainage via Sewage Treatment Plant. Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.

Agent's Notes - 1. We understand that a monthly service charge of £133 is payable, covering maintenance of the pool, leisure suite and tennis court, plus the operation of the Sewage Treatment Plant.
2. Planning was granted by West Devon Borough Council in 2018, under application number 0744/18/HHO, for a sizeable extension to the dwelling, but has since lapsed - any buyer may wish to investigate re-applying. Please ask the agents for further details.
