SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A charming detached cottage immediately adjoining open moorland with enclosed gardens and wonderful rural views. The location is truly enviable, providing a rural lifestyle, perfect for those who enjoy Dartmoor and outdoor pursuits, whilst amenities are nearby for convenience.

Situated on the very edge of Mary Tavy village, the original period cottage has been added to over the years to incorporate additional space, which now includes an impressive master bedroom suite and large integral double garage/workshop.

The old and the new seem to blend seamlessly and nestle into their surroundings beautifully.
On the ground floor, the kitchen adjoins a good-sized hall/dining space, ideal for family meals and entertaining. A separate utility room provides practical workspace with direct access to the garden. The sitting room is the heart of the home, full of character with a log burner, charming features, and patio doors that open out to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with shower, adding convenience and flexibility.

The first floor is approached via two staircases at either end of the house. One side leads to the original cottage; two bedrooms; a comfortable double and a spacious single, along with a family bathroom. On the opposite side of the house, accessed via the separate staircase; lies the impressive master suite, a generous double bedroom with a striking feature window that spans the width of the room and frames the outstanding outlook. The suite also benefits from an en suite bathroom with both a bath and a separate walk-in shower.

Throughout, the accommodation blends traditional character with well-maintained modern touches, creating a home that feels both timeless and contemporary. Almost every window enjoys breathtaking views of Dartmoor or the beautifully established gardens. An internal staircase provides direct access to the double garage, ensuring the home is as practical as it is charming.

The gardens and outside space balance the cottage perfectly. They are enchanting and private, featuring paved and lawned areas, pathways, and hidden corners interspersed with a wide variety of shrubs and other plants. The gardens lie to the rear of the cottage. The access drive has been partially concreted and is across a short distance of moorland from the nearby Brentor road.
