Tavistock is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held. The maritime city of Plymouth is 15 miles to the south, whilst the cathedral city of Exeter lies some 40 miles to the northeast, providing rail, air and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - This is a very rare and interesting opportunity to acquire a sizeable Victorian home in a hugely convenient, central position within Tavistock, needing complete renovation but offering an incoming owner the chance to mould the property to their tastes and requirements.

In our client's family for 60 years, the house offers well-proportioned and classically characterful rooms, with period features including shuttered sash windows, ornate moulded coving, picture rails, original cupboards and several fireplaces. In brief, the accommodation is comprised of a porch, hallway, sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, utility/store and WC on the ground floor, plus four bedrooms (one of which is a through-room) and a bathroom on the first floor, amounting to almost 1.750sq.ft in all. Opportunities to reconfigure or even extend the accommodation may exist, subject to any necessary consents or approvals.

Externally, the house is set back from the road by a front garden area, whilst the principal garden can be found at the rear. Extending to over 100ft in length, the rear garden leads up to West Street, where there is pedestrian access out, and also features a wooded area and a brick outbuilding - potentially useful as a workshop or tool/machinery store, amongst other potential uses. Please note that the property has no parking - on-street availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.
