Tamar Terrace, Horsebridge, Tavistock, Devon, PL19

We are very pleased to market this immaculately presented, four-bedroom, country cottage located in the beautiful hamlet of Horsebridge on the banks of the River Tamar. 'Riverside Cottage' benefits from generous front and rear gardens, private parking 2/3 vehicles, and spectacular West Facing views across the Tamar Valley to East Cornwall.

This charming, unlisted property has been comprehensively renovated by the current owners to a very high standard to include an Air-Source Heat Pump and is ready to move straight into. This west-facing cottage is entered through a generous dining conservatory which spans the front of the property with French doors opening onto the patio and makes the most of the spectacular views. A newly installed Oak stable door opens from here into the main cottage. The kitchen/breakfast room is exquisite, with sand-blasted exposed beams, an Oak staircase, and ‘Amtico’ LVT flooring with four-zone underfloor heating which runs throughout the ground floor. The kitchen itself affords solid wood cabinetry, Quartz worktops, Belfast sink, and a Smeg range cooker set within an original hearth. The living room is a good size room with three windows overlooking the front of the property complimented by wooden shutters. A multi-fuel burner sits within a beautiful stone fireplace with wooden mantle, slate hearth, and original Clome oven. At the rear of the property, accessed from the kitchen is a generous utility room with a separate cloakroom and door to the rear garden. There is also a plant cupboard which houses the newly fitted hot water tank and the plumbing for the heat pump.

Upstairs the property affords three double bedrooms, a small single bedroom, and the family bathroom. The principal and second bedroom are both good size double rooms with in-built storage and river views. The third bedroom is a smaller double room which is currently utilised as a home gym. The family bathroom is generous and well-appointed with a large walk in shower and separate bath. The elevated views from the bedrooms across the river are exceptional and really need to be seen to be appreciated. The original internal walls on the first floor are of exposed timber panel construction which only adds to the character of the property and would allow for easy reconfiguration of the room sizes if required.


Outside, the property is approached via a quiet country lane and private parking is available along the front of the property at road level along with a useful storage shed. A few steps and a path lead you from here to the front entrance. Riverside cottage is immensely attractive. Beneath a Delabole slate roof, the cottage is constructed of slate stone which has been fully repointed with lime mortar by the current owners to ensure its longevity. The front garden is very well maintained and mostly laid to lawn. A selection of mature shrubs, flower beds, and a mature Apple Tree populate the space, and it is a beautiful area to enjoy the view, the sunny aspect, and sample the diversity of wildlife available in this beautiful location. The patio adjoining the conservatory is a superb spot for outdoor dining or to enjoy the last of the evening sunshine. The staggered rear garden slopes up behind the property and is mostly laid to lawn with two Blossoming Cherry Trees. The current owners have promoted areas of wildflower meadow to improve biodiversity. There is a useful wooden workshop/shed which provides ample extra storage. The rear garden is a good size and backs directly onto open fields.

The property is supplied by mains electricity and water. The property has a private drainage system which is shared with three other properties that was fully replaced in 2018 and we understand is in line with current regulations. The property is warmed by an air source heat pump which was installed in 2021, supplemented by the multi fuel burner in the living room. This charming and characterful cottage offers a fantastic rural lifestyle, within easy reach of both Tavistock and Callington and viewing is highly recommended.
