Peter Tavy itself is an unspoilt village close to the River Tavy in the quiet countryside of West Devon. The village features a medieval granite church, and a very well-known and popular public house.

The thriving market town of Tavistock is less than 4 miles away, offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. Plymouth is 19 miles to the south and Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - This wonderfully proportioned countryside home offers exceptional comfort and quality, having recently been comprehensively renovated, remodelled and extended by our clients. The house itself is characterised by bright, square rooms providing flexible, practical space, which have been extremely tastefully finished and decorated. A major overhaul has also been undertaken to the exterior of the building, including a new roof, rainwater goods, bespoke hardwood windows and doors, and the striking oak-framed garden room extension.

The house is surrounded by some pretty, colourful landscaped gardens accompanied by a paddock at the rear. Additionally, there is a triple garage with a turnkey, 2-bedroom holiday let above, providing an instant income stream. In all, the plot amounts to 1.14 acres.

Accommodation - The house is accessed through an oak-framed, canopied porch and vestibule into a hallway. Briefly, on the ground floor are: the newly refurbished kitchen/dining room, with patio doors to the front terrace and a separate utility/boot room to the rear; the hugely impressive, oak-framed garden room; a comfortable sitting room centered around a log burner; a well-appointed study, also with a log burner; a bright, front-facing studio/library room, and; a cloakroom.

On the first floor are the four bedrooms, including three good-sized doubles, and the tasteful family bathroom. The master suite, in particular, is a generously sized, dual-aspect room served by an en-suite shower room.

Gardens And The Cottage - A gated drive provides parking and leads to the triple garage which has remote-controlled doors. The property's immediate gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide wonderful colour and variation, and now frame the house very attractively. Amongst the front gardens are a useful tool shed and a timber building housing a Jacuzzi hot tub. To the rear of the house is an enclosed paddock of 0.6 acres, ideal for those looking to keep a pony or other domestic livestock.

Set over the garage, the cottage is also finished in a very tasteful and comfortable style, comprising an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, two double bedrooms and a shower room. It has consent for holiday letting and offers a turnkey income stream which is perfectly positioned for those looking to walk or explore Dartmoor and the surrounding area.
