Description

Dating back to the 17th century, this impressive Grade II Listed home has been thoughtfully extended over time to offer highly flexible accommodation, now arranged across five bedrooms and multiple reception rooms. Since 2019, the current owners have lovingly embraced the lifestyle it offers, including the planting of 4.5 acres of woodland under a formal scheme.

At the heart of the home lies a charming triple aspect kitchen/dining room with a traditional farmhouse feel. It features an integrated double electric oven, four ring gas hob, and extractor fan, with ample space for a large dining table. A door leads to a sunny patio - ideal for al fresco dining and enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a snug with a slate floor, a feature fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, and a clome oven style recess - perfectly cosy in winter and cool in summer. Additional ground floor living spaces include a spacious rear entrance hall - currently serving as a music and office area, and the main lounge with a window seat, display plinth, built-in storage, and a striking fireplace with a wood burning stove.

Also, on the ground floor are a family bathroom, a separate WC, and a utility area. Two staircases provide access to the first floor: the principal circular staircase leads to a landing with three bedrooms, including the master suite with wooden flooring and en-suite shower room.

The home is warmed by LPG gas fired central heating.

Accessed via a secure six bar gate, Dewcombe Farm is approached by a long, sweeping driveway lined with mature trees. Ample parking and turning space is available. As you enter the drive, the property's rear façade and array of outbuildings come into view, all beautifully integrated into the landscape.

The gardens have been lovingly curated, with mature oak and beech trees sheltering ornamental shrubs and bushes. A wildlife pond adds to the serene, natural environment. To the rear, a southeast facing garden catches the morning sun, bordered by camellias, palms, and silver birch. A picnic bench is ideal for enjoying a meal/drink and is included in the sale.

A short walk away is the productive garden, complete with enclosed vegetable beds, a fruit cage, and a polytunnel offering a self-sufficient lifestyle in a peaceful rural setting. The grounds are equipped with external power and water, supporting both practicality and leisure.

In total, the grounds extend to approximately 16.77 acres (or thereabouts) and comprise a fine stretch of gently sloping pasture, suitable for a variety of livestock and poultry. For equestrian enthusiasts, the strip of land to the south offers convenient access to the lanes of the lower Tamar Valley. The land is well-drained, clearly defined, and affords stunning, far-reaching views across the heart of the Tamar Valley.

There are a wide selection of outbuildings including a workshop, three bay tractor store, single storey outbuilding and a two storey Victorian barn. The Victorian barn has planning in perpetuity to be converted into a two bedroom ancillary barn with reversed accommodation.

Approximately a 15 minute walk from the property lies 120 yards of single bank fishing on the River Tamar. The Tamar is renowned as one of the finest fishing rivers in the South West, offering excellent catches of salmon, sea trout, and brown trout throughout the season.

Launceston Town is located approximately 4 miles away and boasts a range of shopping, recreational, educational and commercial facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road giving access to Exeter in one direction and Truro and West Cornwall in the other.

The West Devon Stannary Town of Tavistock is approximately 8 miles distance with similar levels of amenities having the beauty and rugged landscape of Dartmoor National Park close to hand as well as good commuting links to the continental ferry port in the City of Plymouth which is approximately 24 miles away offering a wider range of facilities as well as Exeter within 44 miles. Both cities have excellent transport links to other areas of the country.

Closer to hand located within a few miles are the villages of Milton Abbott and Lawhitton which collectively have parish churches. There is also a Primary School at Milton Abbott and a mobile Post Office service which visits Lawhitton.

Agents Note:
Please note that fishing is subject to the acquisition of necessary licences from the Environment Agency.
