Description

This former farmhouse, thought to date back to the 1860s, sits amidst its own plot of land commanding superior views across the Tavy Valley to Dartmoor beyond. The property is constructed of stone covered with render and has a slate roof. The current vendors have afforded considerable time and resources with great attention to detail and use of high quality materials and finishes to enhance the property considerably.
