5 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Tavistock, PL19 0PZ £1,150,000

Accommodation - The property is expansive and largely laid out reverse-level, with the accommodation initially comprised as follows: an entrance hallway; an incredibly impressive, triple-aspect principal reception room, which is open-plan between a sitting area centered around a substantial stone fireplace housing a log burner, and a kitchen/dining room, with a galleried seating area between; a vaulted, octagonal garden room offering considerable privacy and a connection to the gardens through any of seven sets of patio doors; a home office/family room, which, together with the rooms below, could form a self-contained annexe, and could also equally function as a fifth bedroom; a well-appointed, standalone bathroom; below the home office, a music room with patio doors to the front garden and internal access to the double garage; a library/reading room, with its own patio doors to the front garden, and; a dedicated utility/laundry room.

The kitchen is equipped with a wonderful range of bespoke units, including full-height pantry-style cupboards, plus a large matching island, all with black granite worktops. Appliances include a NEFF dishwasher and a Rangemaster cooker encompassing a 5-ring LPG hob, warming plate, double oven and grill.

Stairs lead down from the main reception room to a lower hallway where there are four principal, en-suite double bedrooms. The very impressive master suite comprises an enormous octagonal bedroom, located beneath the garden room, served by its own walk-through dressing room and a tasteful, Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom. Each of the three further bedrooms has its own shower room, and two also feature French doors to the front garden.

Gardens And Grounds - The property is approached over a private, electric-gated drive which leads to the double garage. From within the barn, there are several accesses out to a pretty, enclosed front garden which is colourfully planted with a number of rose bushes, and also features a recently built timber summerhouse. The immediate rear gardens wrap around the barn on two sides and have been wonderfully structured by our clients to offer excellent variety, including well-kept and naturalised lawns, some established shrubbery and ornamental planting, a wildlife pond, a greenhouse, various raised beds and several private seating areas, including a substantial paved terrace over the double garage.

To the side of the entrance drive is a meadow garden of over half an acre, planted with an orchard to include several mature apple and cherry trees, a walnut, a mulberry and sweet chestnuts, amongst areas of re-wilding, and featuring a second summerhouse. Beyond these gardens are the property's pasture fields, amounting to almost 7 acres, which have separate gated access and are served by a recently constructed timber stable and tack building, plus a separate feed store with a mains-fed supply of water. The southernmost field has been planted with over 1,000 mixed native trees, broadening the property's appeal and ecosystem further still.

Agent's Notes - We understand that there are records of a historic mine shaft, located in the far southern end of the furthest paddock (approx. 300m from the barn). However, there is no obvious sign of its location on the ground, and our clients have kept livestock in this field without incident.
