Situation - This superb home is located in a quiet, private and secure gated cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Tavistock, within a mile of the town's bustling centre.

The cathedral city of Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - The former show home of an award-winning development by Blue Cedar Homes, this exceptional, high-specification property is set within an exclusive, gated enclave of just 13 dwellings. The ethos of the development is to provide an extraordinary level of comfort, convenience and peace-of-mind for its residents - one of whom in each household must be aged 55 or over - through the provision of high-quality build materials and finishing touches, low running costs, high energy efficiency and a dedicated site manager to ensure the site, and the properties themselves, are thoroughly and professionally looked after. This particular home provides up to four bedrooms, with two bathrooms and flexible reception space, all naturally bright and presented in genuinely immaculate condition. Externally is a pretty, well-stocked rear garden and an attached garage with parking alongside.

The ground floor accommodation is comprised as follows: an oak-framed storm porch; an entrance hallway; a bright sitting room centred around a gas fireplace and surround; a ground floor bedroom/study with an adjacent shower room that can be opened into an en-suite; the beautifully finished kitchen, and; a bright, dual-aspect dining/family room. The kitchen is equipped with a superb range of units and quartz worktops incorporating a Blanco 1.5-bowl, stainless steel sink. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, plus a dishwasher, induction hob, multi-function oven and microwave (all NEFF), and an AEG washer/dryer. On the spacious first-floor landing - which could serve as a study area - are a master bedroom served by a well-appointed Jack and Jill Bathroom, a second, front-facing double bedroom, and a further bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes, currently a dedicated dressing room.

Outside - The attached garage can be accessed from the kitchen and has a remote-controlled door, power, lighting and overhead storage. In front and to the side is a block-paved driveway. To the rear of the house is a pretty, well-established garden featuring a patio seating area outside of the family room. There are also two visitor parking spaces for the development.
