THE PROPERTY

A delightful semi-detached house and it’s ideal if you want that rural location but need to quickly get to Tavistock or Callington or head further into Devon or Cornwall.

This house makes a pretty wonderful first impression.   Approaching down a stone no through road, it's apparent you will have a quiet and secluded location.  With a pretty front cottage style garden, it's location is as charming as it's appearance.

To the front of the property is plenty of on road parking available for nearby residents.

Running the full width of the house is a lovely large kitchen/diner with a range of base and eye level kitchen units, painted exposed ceiling beams and more than enough space for a dining table.   The kitchen has wood worktops, space and plumbing for a washing machine, 1 1/2 stainless steel sink with mixer tap and drainer and a fitted electric oven, four ring hob and extractor over.

It’s a room you’ll want to spend time in, whether its eating, working, drinking your morning coffee or retire out to the rear garden for an evening glass of wine it's a fantastic kitchen/diner you could get used to.  With quite a long garden you do have potential to add on a conservatory to the rear, that would complement this room brilliantly.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, a good size WC (which could be converted to a fourth bedroom or office) and a four piece family bathroom.  The first and second bedrooms are to the front and both include an over-stairs storage cupboards and the third bedroom is a good size and has views of the rear garden and countryside.  The impressive bathroom has a four piece suite including a white three piece suite, a shower cubicle and double glazed windows to the rear and side.
