Situation - This house sits in a private and quiet location on the edge of Peter Tavy, an unspoilt village situated close to the River Tavy in the quiet countryside of West Devon, with the full expanse of Dartmoor accessible within half a mile. Peter Tavy features a medieval granite church and a very well-known and popular public house. Tavistock is only 3 miles away to the south, with Plymouth 13 miles further on. The cathedral city of Exeter lies some 37 miles to the northeast, providing railway and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK, plus an international airport.

Description - This attached former farmhouse, dating to the early 19th Century, has been much improved in recent years by the current owners, and now provides spacious and characterful 4-bedroom accommodation, ideal for the active family. The farmhouse sits within a large, south-facing plot of 0.48 acres, arranged into several areas for interest and enjoyment, including two sun patios, a large wildlife pond and a vegetable area with planter boxes. To the front of the house is a large yard providing extensive parking and featuring a stable outbuilding.

Accommodation - Throughout the farmhouse are various character elements, including beamed ceilings, timber floors, a stone fireplace and traditional timber panelled doors. The property is accessed at the front through an enclosed entrance porch into the hallway, where there are doors to the sitting and dining rooms, and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is a good size, dual-aspect room with a log burning stove set onto a stone hearth. At its far end is a door into the TV/cinema room, which is triple-aspect and would suit a variety of other uses, including as a home office, play or games room. Beyond the sitting room is the kitchen/breakfast room which is equipped with an extensive range of base-level units and wall-mounted cupboards, with solid timber work surfaces. The kitchen incorporates a double oven at eye level, two undercounter spaces for appliances, a new AEG induction hob and space for a dishwasher. To the rear is a separate rear porch/utility which houses the oil boiler and has two further spaces for laundry appliances, in addition to providing access to the rear garden. Off the porch is a WC. From the kitchen is a return door to the formal dining room which features patio doors to the garden and an impressive stone fireplace with timber bressumer over, currently housing a multi-fuel stove. At first floor level are four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom faces west, thereby benefiting from some attractive views over the village towards surrounding countryside. The family bathroom features a modern 4-piece suite to include a panelled bath and double shower enclosure.

Outside - The property is accessed from the road into a large yard which provides parking space for several vehicles and could also accommodate a motorhome, trailer or horsebox. To one side of the yard is a hardstanding area upon which can be found a greenhouse and a detached stable outbuilding, comprising two loose boxes and a storeroom. From here there is gated access to the side and rear gardens. The gardens are well landscaped, offering plenty of space for families of all ages and sizes, as well as the hobby gardener. Planted throughout are a variety of mature shrubs and trees, and there are patios on the south and west sides of the house, positioned to take advantage of the views to the west. In the southwest corner of the garden is a large wildlife pond and there are vegetable planter boxes to one side of the site, completing the picture of this wonderfully well-rounded home.
