Tavistock itself 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. Plymouth, 15 miles to the south, provides extensive amenities, while Exeter, 40 miles to the northeast, offers rail and motorway connections to London and the wider UK, as well as an international airport.

Description - This superbly versatile family home was built, we understand, circa 1990, and has been a much-loved home to our clients for the past nine years. The house offers excellent space and flexibility, with accommodation across several levels which was extended by the current owners in 2022, and comprises five double bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, and three reception rooms in all. Externally, the house is complemented by some well-established gardens on three sides, including a level, walled, lawned rear garden accessible through several sets of patio doors from the house. Finally, there is an integral garage and ample driveway parking, completing the picture of this well-rounded home which offers comfort, quality and convenience in equal measure.

Accommodation - The house is accessed on the ground floor beneath an open storm porch into a large, welcoming reception hallway, which has a useful study area, coats and boots cupboard, and access to the integral garage. The accommodation is then arranged over several split levels.

On the ground floor is a bright, triple-aspect sitting room centred around a gas fireplace with a stone surround, enjoying views over the gardens to the front, side and rear of the house, along with a useful cloakroom.

Steps lead down to the lower ground floor, where a lobby opens directly to the rear garden. This level also provides a dining room with garden access and a wonderfully extended kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cupboards and cabinets topped with quartz work surfaces, incorporating a double ceramic sink and a Fohen boiling water tap. A matching central island houses a NEFF multifunction hob with a Faber downdraft extractor, and to one side is an eye-level NEFF double oven. There is also a space beneath the counter for a dishwasher, and a designated recycling and refuse cupboard. A separate utility room offers additional cabinetry and space for laundry appliances. Beyond the kitchen is the recent extension, comprising a good-sized double bedroom and a home office overlooking the rear garden, both served by a tasteful Jack and Jill shower room with a large walk-in shower enclosure.

Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to the first floor. On the half landing is a rear-facing double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Off the principal landing is the front-facing master suite, featuring triple fitted wardrobes and a dedicated en-suite bathroom, with a Mira Sport electric shower over the bath. There are two further double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and a standalone family bathroom with a 4-piece suite. Finally, there is a linen cupboard and a sizeable walk-in storeroom, offering scope for adaptation to various other uses, such as a study or shower room, if required, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside - The house is approached via a blockwork driveway with parking and turning for up to three cars, along with access to the large integral garage, which has a remote-controlled up-and-over door, power and lighting. The driveway is flanked by mature lawned gardens with established hedge borders and well-kept planted beds. Pathways lead around the side of the house to the side and rear gardens, which offer excellent space and versatility for families and keen gardeners alike, featuring a variety of mature, colourful shrubs, a raised patio terrace, a level wall-enclosed lawn, and a further patio outside the rear lobby. There are also external power points and a water tap.
