Tavistock, Devon

Coming to the market for the very first time since it was built just over eight years ago, Tor Gardens is a beautifully presented and highly versatile detached bungalow set within approximately one acre of immaculately maintained gardens. This exceptional property combines contemporary living with a rare level of privacy and outdoor space, making it an ideal purchase for a wide variety of buyers – from downsizers and professionals to keen gardeners or those seeking an income-generating opportunity.

The property is arranged over a single level, offering easy access throughout and a seamless blend of comfort and style. Upon entering, you are greeted by a useful utility area, providing functionality that leads into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area – the heart of the home. This light-filled space features modern fittings, integrated appliances, and double doors that open directly onto the rear patio and garden, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.

There are two generous double bedrooms, each offering views out to Brentor Church and a stylish family bathroom finished to a high standard.

Externally, Tor Gardens truly excels. The expansive grounds – lovingly cultivated and maintained by the current owners – feature a wide array of mature planting, colourful flower beds, established trees, and manicured lawns. For several months of the year, the owners have opened these gardens to the public as part of a popular private nursery, and they would be delighted to support any new owner wishing to continue this tradition.

There is also significant potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Ideas include the addition of a tea room, garden café, or expanding the nursery offering. Alternatively, the gardens could simply be enjoyed as a tranquil private retreat – ideal for keen horticulturists or those seeking peaceful surroundings and a haven for wildlife.

Nestled at the far end of the garden is a spacious and well-appointed summer house, which the current owners use as a home office and occasional guest accommodation. Boasting far-reaching countryside views and exceptional privacy, this detached space would also make a superb Airbnb rental or self-contained studio, offering a potential source of income or additional living space.
Further features include:
• Ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles
• A large workshop/shed, perfect for hobbies or storage
• A polytunnel for year-round growing & Greenhouse
• Direct views towards the iconic Brentor Church, perched on its dramatic hilltop
