Parkwood Road, Tavistock

A five bedroom semi-detached property with character features throughout, located within level walking distance to the town centre of Tavistock. Freehold, Council Tax Band: E, EPC Band: E

Situation - Situated on Parkwood Road within level walking distance into the town centre. 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, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held.

Description - A charming Victorian semi-detached villa located just a five-minute walk from the heart of Tavistock town centre. This elegant home offers over 2,000 square feet of accommodation arranged over four floors, featuring five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional toilet servicing the fifth bedroom on the basement level. Full of period character, the property boasts hallmark features of the Victorian era, including high ceilings and generous room proportions. Outside, there is one off-street parking space to the rear, with additional on-street parking available either freely or via a permit scheme. The south-facing garden enjoys excellent natural light and includes a handy outbuilding for storing garden tools and pots, a modern greenhouse, and a delightful conservatory, perfect for enjoying the garden all year round. It is worth noting that this particular Victorian home is not listed.

Accommodation - The current owners primarily use the rear entrance via the spacious conservatory, which offers ample room for coats, shoes, and even a sofa, creating a cosy snug. From here, you can access both the kitchen and dining room.

The kitchen/diner room is a generous open-plan space, an extension to the original house, fitted with a range of cupboards and a large Aga with induction hob and extractor above. There’s also an integrated dishwasher and space for a large fridge-freezer. A step down leads to the oak-floored dining room, featuring a disused open fireplace and plenty of space for entertaining. The main hallway connects the dining room to the principal front entrance and the large living room.

The living room is full of Victorian character, including wooden windows, pine floorboards, high ceilings, deep skirting boards, dado rail, and a central wood-burning stove with built-in cabinets either side.

On the first floor, the family shower room sits ahead from the landing. The master bedroom, with dual-aspect windows and built-in cabinetry, is to the left; bedroom two, with a disused fireplace and fitted cabinets, is to the right.

On the second floor is a bathroom with a bath and shower above, and two further good-sized bedrooms (three and four), both with large pine floorboards and Velux windows. Bedroom three enjoys views across Parkwood Road.

The basement level features oak flooring throughout, a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer, and space for a fridge freezer, a separate macerator toilet, and a fifth bedroom ideal for guests, a home office, or further living accommodation.

Outside - To the rear of the property is a private parking space accessed via Old Exeter Road. The driveway is bordered by metal railings, currently in the process of being replaced, and steps lead down towards the house. To the left is a useful garden store room, and a pathway winds around the side past the conservatory, leading to the front garden. Along the side of the property is the main entrance, framed by a beautiful wisteria currently in bloom. The front garden is a good size, featuring a modern greenhouse to the right and a ‘hit and miss’ fence to the left, marking the boundary. The garden gently slopes down to a pathway leading onto Parkwood Road, with a shed positioned at the bottom opposite the gate.
