Down Road, Tavistock, Devon

Occupying an exceptional and rarely available position on arguably Tavistock’s most prestigious road, set on the Island at the top of Down Road, this outstanding contemporary home enjoys an enviable combination of privacy, prestige and convenience. With the town centre within comfortable walking distance and the open expanses of Dartmoor quite literally on the doorstep, the location alone sets this property apart as something truly special.

Constructed just a few years ago to an exacting standard, the house has been thoughtfully designed to deliver modern luxury, elegant proportions and effortless day-to-day living. From the moment you step inside, the quality of finish is immediately apparent. A generous and welcoming entrance hall creates a strong first impression and provides access to the principal living spaces, all of which are beautifully styled and flooded with natural light.

At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen and dining room, perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining. Finished to a high specification, the kitchen features an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances, a boiling water tap and clean, refined lines throughout. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and creating an ideal space for summer gatherings or relaxed evenings at home.

The living room offers a more intimate yet equally impressive setting, with double doors opening onto the front garden and a wood-burning stove providing warmth and character. From here, a discreet door leads through to a sleek and stylish home office, ideal for those working remotely or seeking a quiet retreat.

Practicality has been carefully considered, with a well-appointed utility room offering excellent storage alongside a built-in microwave, complemented by a contemporary cloakroom on the ground floor. A striking glass balustrade staircase rises to the first floor, adding a further sense of architectural interest and refinement.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three generous double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own beautifully appointed en suite. The principal suite is particularly noteworthy, featuring a dedicated dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom complete with a statement freestanding bath and a walk-in shower, creating a hotel-style sanctuary within the home.

Externally, the property is equally well presented. A private driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a larger-than-average garage, offering excellent storage or workshop potential. The front garden is laid to lawn with useful sheds discreetly positioned, while the rear garden provides a peaceful and enclosed setting, mainly laid to lawn with a patio area, perfect for al fresco dining. A charming summer house further enhances the outdoor space, offering flexibility for relaxation, hobbies or entertaining.

Rarely does a property of this calibre, age and design come to market in such a coveted Tavistock location. Combining contemporary luxury with an unrivalled setting, this is a truly unique home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
