Situation - This cottage is located in the historic riverside village of Morwellham, around 4 miles to the southwest of Tavistock in West Devon. Forming part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - as well as falling within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Morwellham Quay was once a very busy inland port supporting the region's industrious copper and other metalliferous mining activities. Today, it offers a very quaint and peaceful semi-rural lifestyle in some extremely beautiful, verdant surroundings. Tavistock is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. Plymouth, with its coastal access, is 16 miles to the south. The cathedral city of Exeter lies 37 miles to the northeast, providing railway and motorway connections to the rest of the UK, plus an international airport.

Description - This sizeable detached cottage is newly refurbished, presented in exceptional condition and offered to the market chain-free. Significant investment has been put into the property in recent years both inside and out, including exterior redecoration, landscaping of the gardens and grounds, and a complete re-slating of the roof, giving any buyer peace of mind for some time to come. Internally, the cottage has been tastefully finished, to a very high modern standard, with contemporary fixtures and fittings throughout. The rooms are extremely bright and well-proportioned, offering a great deal of comfort complemented by some discreet, character finishing touches, such as solid ledged and braced doors, timber wall panelling and slate window sills. There are attractive views on offer across Morwellham Quay to the river Tamar, particularly from the south-facing side garden. Finally, an additional piece of land measuring 0.27 acres is available opposite the cottage by enquiry and negotiation.

Accommodation - The cottage is entered beneath a good size canopied porch into a large lounge, which is 24' long and currently arranged with a snug area at one end centered around a log-burning stove. Off the lounge is a dedicated utility room with spaces for the laundry appliances, plus the boiler room. Accessed via four steps up from the lounge, the sitting/dining room is another large reception room which benefits from a dual aspect to the front and rear. From here there is a rear hallway leading to a WC and to the well-appointed breakfast kitchen. The kitchen itself features patio doors to the garden, and is equipped with a good range of wall-mounted cupboards and base-level units with solid timber work surfaces over. A set of integrated appliances is provided, including a full-height fridge/freezer, dishwasher, 4-ring induction hob with extractor hood, and an AEG oven and separate microwave. At first floor level are the four bedrooms, all of which are doubles and two of which have en-suite shower rooms, plus the family bathroom. Both of the en-suites and the bathroom are finished to an excellent standard, with attractive modern suites.

Outside - To the front of the cottage is an off-road parking area leading on to an enclosed walled courtyard which forms a part of the cottage's entranceway. Access can be gained around both side of the cottage to the rear, where there is a paved patio outside of the kitchen, ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining. The patio extends over a couple of terraced areas, the uppermost of which contains very a useful timber storage shed and a jacuzzi hot tub positioned to take advantage of the views over Morwellham to the river Tamar. Adjacent to the terrace is an area of lawn garden, enclosed from the road by timber fencing.

Additional Land - Opposite the cottage is an additional area extending to 0.27 acres which could be available to the purchaser of the cottage by separate negotiation. Although quite overgrown at present, it is sufficient in size to provide very valuable additional parking space or could otherwise be cleared to create a sizeable garden. We are advised that this area used to contain a couple of dilapidated outbuildings although these have not been inspected by the agents.

Agent's Notes - The cottage is currently utilised as a holiday let but has unrestricted use as a residential dwelling i.e. is not subject to a holiday restriction. Interested parties should note that the cottage is currently assessed for Business Rates, with the Rateable Value being £4,400. The cottage would have to be reassessed for Council Tax for an owner-occupier.

Services - Mains water and electricity are connected. Private drainage via Klargester septic tank. Oil-fired central heating. Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
