Yelverton, Devon

An incredibly stylish and bespoke modernist house, creating a Dartmoor family home over two levels, offering potential multigenerational living, large entertaining areas, private south facing gardens and sited only moments away from the shops and open moors.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A property that is an entirely unique example of an architect’s vision back in the mid-1980s. Michel Boulesteix, who designed the house, was born in Paris and then studied in London and lived near this special residence. There are two large living areas on both the upper and lower ground, both offering connecting outdoor spaces for either individual uses or to enjoy at different times of the day.

The house has the potential for multigenerational living and could have kitchens on both floors. The current owners have improved the home since purchased and use the upper floor kitchen as an art studio. The living areas are ideal for entertaining family and friends in either the winter or summer months due to the dimensions. There are sliding doors from the kitchen/dining space that open into the south facing deck and in turn the front garden with lawns and raised seating areas, including a raised pond.

To the rear and on the upper ground is a private courtyard which is accessed via either the principal bedroom or the living room. This courtyard is perfect for evenings or early morning coffees and has a connecting door from the bedroom. There is also an enclosed balcony off the living room, on the south elevation, which has glimpse views to the moorland beyond between the trees. There is also a Swedish designed wood burning stove in the living room which is ideal for the winter months, and is positioned at the far end of this wonderful light and spacious vaulted room.

The home is warmed by mains gas central heating, PVCu double glazed windows and further insulation measures, all creating a comfortable retreat.

The property is approached from a gated driveway where there is a car port and space for off-road parking. A pedestrian gate opens to the attractive main garden and leads to the side and main entrance. On the other side is a shed and further courtyard. The main garden is enclosed by high walls and does feel incredibly hidden, like a secret oasis, away from the hustle of this popular moorland village.

Yelverton has a useful selection of shops, including the Coop supermarket, delicatessen, hairdressers, garage, and hotel. The ancient stannary town of Tavistock is around 6 miles to the north, with the historic naval port of Plymouth about 10 miles to the south. Yelverton has regular bus services to both Tavistock and Plymouth, where the national rail network provides connections to London and countless other destinations. Plymouth also has cross-channel ferry services to both France and Spain.
Sporting and Leisure facilities throughout the region are excellent – the Cornish beaches are within striking distance, and with Dartmoor National Park extending to over 300 square miles of stunning open countryside, there is plenty for the outdoor enthusiast to find. Sailing and other water sports are available within the Tamar and Tavy estuaries, and there are golf courses at Yelverton and Tavistock with numerous others throughout the region. There are also opportunities to fish by arrangement on the rivers Tamar, Tavy and Walkham.
