Description

Rossmoyne is a fine example of a grand Victoria Villa, constructed originally for the family of a senior executive of the South Devon and Tavistock Railway. Accessed along the old railway bed, a private drive leads to a generous parking are which in turns lead to the grand entrance porch, flanked by feature bay windows, bathing the property with natural light.

The spacious and airy accommodation is ideal for the needs of a family and offers further potential for any discerning purchaser. Of particular note are the wonderful gardens, extending to nearly an acre which incorporate a number of outbuildings, one in particular with planning for conversion into an additional dwelling. The parking provision for this has already been instigated.

This is an excellent opportunity in a simply outstanding position within easy reach of Ashburton, Exeter and further afield. Must be viewed.
