Madge Lane, Tavistock

A well-positioned detached bungalow accessed via a gate from Madge Lane, enjoying some of the finest views across Tavistock & Dartmoor.

Situation - This charming cottage occupies a convenient position a stones throw from one of Tavistock’s most sought-after roads. Being centrally located, the house enjoys extremely convenient access to the town centre and all of its many facilities and amenities. 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, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held. Plymouth, some 15 miles to the south, offers extensive amenities with the added attraction of its coastal access and the Mayflower Marina.

Description - A well-positioned detached bungalow accessed via a gate from Madge Lane, enjoying some of the finest views across Tavistock & Dartmoor. The property offers well-balanced two-bedroom accommodation with a sitting/dining room opening onto the garden, a characterful galley kitchen and a conservatory entrance porch. The tiered rear garden is a particular feature, providing multiple patio areas, a powered summer house and mature planting, all arranged to make the most of the elevated outlook. Our client has already secured an onward purchase.

Accommodation - The accommodation is well-balanced and practical in layout. Immediately to the left upon entering the hallway is Bedroom Two, a comfortable double room. Opposite sits Bedroom One, slightly larger and particularly impressive due to its substantial window framing stunning views across Tavistock. This room benefits from operational shutters, adding both character and practicality. At the end of the hallway is a generous bathroom, fitted with a walk-in shower and useful cupboard storage, and housing the gas combination boiler. From the hallway, turning right, you enter the sitting/dining room — a light-filled space enjoying French doors to the garden and interaction with the elevated outlook. The kitchen sits just around the corner, offering a charming galley-style layout with ample storage.

Outside - The rear garden is a standout feature of the property and is arranged over several tiers, offering versatility, interest and exceptional views across Tavistock. Historically, the garden once accommodated some dwellings, and our client holds photographs from years past illustrating its former layout — a fascinating piece of its history. The upper tier, directly off the town-facing side of the bungalow, is a patio area complete with an American-style porch providing shade. This position enjoys some of the finest views across Tavistock and is an ideal space for outdoor dining or simply relaxing. The next tier offers a further patio area, a true sun trap and perfect for BBQs and summer gatherings. Below this is a fantastic summer house with power connected, making it ideal for working from home, hobbies or additional entertaining space. The remainder of the garden is made up of mature shrubs and planting, creating a sense of privacy and greenery. At the very bottom of the garden there is disused access onto Madge Lane.
