Description
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A delightful former lodge dating, we understand, from the 1920s, and situated in an idyllic moorland location yet with excellent links into Plymouth, just a few miles to the south.
Set within delightful mature gardens and grounds of approximately one acre in all, the rural setting adjoins open moorland with woods and farmland around, and just one neighbouring property.
The accommodation includes three first floor bedrooms and a ground floor guest suite/annex. The bathrooms have been recently refurbished by the present owners and other recent improvements have included the addition of a new porch to enhance the main entrance.
There is a double garage and the gardens extend to approximately one acre with far-reaching views across the Tamar Valley to Cornwall. The garden is laid mostly to lawn with a large terrace and gently curved borders are filled with a selection of mature shrubs and trees to include camellias, rhododendrons and forsythia.
The property is being sold with no onward chain.
Yelverton offers a wide range of shops and facilities, including a Coop, doctor’s surgery, butcher, delicatessen, hairdresser, chemist, and garage. The ancient stannary town of Tavistock lies about 6 miles to the north, while the historic naval port of Plymouth is approximately 10 miles to the south. Yelverton has regular bus services to both Tavistock and Plymouth, with Plymouth providing national rail connections to London and many other destinations. Additionally, Plymouth offers cross-channel ferry services to France and Spain.
The region boasts excellent sporting and leisure facilities, such as the Yelverton and Tavistock golf courses and Drake's Trail cycle path, which links Tavistock with Plymouth along the former railway line, featuring tunnels and riverside sections. Lopwell Dam, located on the lower reaches of the River Tavy, and Buckland Abbey, the former home of Sir Francis Drake, are both nearby.
Cornish beaches are within easy reach, and Dartmoor National Park, covering over 300 square miles of stunning open countryside, offers plenty for outdoor enthusiasts. Sailing and other water sports are available in the Tamar and Tavy estuaries. Fishing opportunities can also be arranged on the Tamar, Tavy, and Walkham rivers.
