TO A POTENTIAL FUTURE OWNER,
As you consider making St. Margarets your new home, we wanted to share a little of what has made our 15 years here on The Down so incredibly special. While a brochure can show you the layout, it is harder to capture the soul of a home that has been the backdrop to our family's biggest milestones.

A Place of Memories

This house is not just a building to us. It is where we brought our son home when he was born. Watching him grow up within these walls, picking his first plums from the garden, and playing in the safety of the park and village has been a privilege.

Our weekends have been defined by the stunning landscape surrounding Bere Alston. We have spent years exploring the hidden trails of the Tamar Valley, taking breezy walks across Dartmoor, and enjoying the ritual of a Saturday morning in Tavistock, hopping between our favourite coffee shops and the Pannier Market.

The Heart of the Home: The Garden and Decking

If we had to pick what we will miss most, it is undoubtedly the outdoor space. The garden has been our sanctuary, but the elevated decking with its glass balustrade has been the true star.

We have hosted countless BBQs and celebrations there with family and friends. There is a specific kind of magic in sitting there on a summer evening, looking out over the countryside with a drink in hand. It is a peaceful, private spot that has hosted some of our happiest moments.

Looking Ahead: The Potential

While we have loved the house exactly as it is, we have always been excited by what it could become next. We wish you the very best with the potential held in the lapsed planning consent. The opportunity to create a self contained annex or redevelop the loft offers a brilliant canvas.

Whether you envision a grand master suite to capture those views even further or space for an extended family, the foundations for a spectacular transformation are already here.

We truly hope that you find as much happiness and warmth in this home as we have over the last decade and a half.

Warm regards,

The Current Owners of St. Margarets
