6 bedroom house

Caseytown House which is a substantial and impressive
Victorian family home set in approximately 25 acres of its
own gardens, grounds and paddocks, with direct access to
Dartmoor. The property is situated on the edge of the village
of Whitchurch, to the east of the popular town of Tavistock,
within the Dartmoor National Park. The property is well
located, being within easy reach of Tavistock, where there is
an excellent private school, and communication links.
The house which dates from 1867 and, as far as we can
ascertain, is not Listed. It is evident the house is in a good
state of repair and has been well maintained throughout
with many original Victorian features retained. On the
ground floor there is a fabulous reception hall, a drawing
room, dining room, study, games room with WC and a
pantry. There is also a boot room and separate utility room.
Of particular note is the wonderful open-plan kitchen, sitting
room and conservatory that provides the focus and heart to
the home. Both the kitchen and conservatory enjoy fabulous
views over the gardens to the moor in the distance.

On the first floor, there are six double bedrooms. One has
an en suite shower room and there are two further shared
bathrooms. Internally, the accommodation is in good
order and has good proportions with a great atmosphere,
providing plenty of space for a large family. Each of the
principal rooms had far reaching views over the property's
gardens and the surrounding area.

The house is approached through electric gates and down
a private drive to parking in front of the house. There is
also a secondary drive which leads round to a set of stone
outbuildings at the back of the house. These include some
beautiful original stables, a garage and plenty of workshop
and storage space. The gardens are a particular feature
of the property and offer much privacy and seclusion. The
house is ring-fenced by its own ground, with a section of
woodland leading to a stream and a series of well-fenced
and inter-linked paddocks which offer direct outriding onto
Dartmoor.

In summary, Caseytown House is a very special family
property close to some outstanding schooling in Tavistock
and offers direct riding and walking access onto Dartmoor.

The back door leads out to a covered cobbled yard area with
pitched slate roof and doors to the rear drive. Adjoining is
the gardener's WC with sink.
The rear drive continues to a yard and parking area,
adjacent to which is the coach house and stables, 19.20m
x 6.10m (63' x 20'), being an attractive stone built building
with pitched slate roof topped with clock tower and weather
vane and incorporating the full height coach house, two
loose boxes with hay loft above, foaling box, tack room and
covered wash area.

The entrance drive, edged by shrubs and mature trees,
leads to the parking and turning area. The formal gardens
are essentially to the south and west of the house and
consist of lawns on three levels, edged by further fine
mature trees and shrubs. French doors from the kitchen/
garden room open to a paved terrace. The separate rear
drive leads around the back of the house to the yard and
coach house and stables.
Adjoining the house and stables are a range of gently
sloping pasture paddocks incorporating the vegetable
garden and orchard area, as well as copse areas. The
paddocks adjoin the moor to the north and have direct
access to it. About 24¾ acres.

Caseytown is situated on the edge of Whitchurch Down,
to the west of Tavistock and just inside the western edge
of Dartmoor National Park. The ancient stannery town
of Tavistock possesses a full range of local amenities,
including shops and restaurants, as well as private
education with Kelly College and Mount House Preparatory
School.
There is a golf course on nearby Whitchurch Down.
Dartmoor itself is renowned for its spectacular scenery
with its granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded
valleys bisected by rushing streams and rivers, and there
are many opportunities
