Description
Called Little Gem because it simply is.
A fabulous and extremely well presented family home that will take your breath away! We are excited to bring to market this highly desirable home situated in a respected residential street and just five minute's walk from the centre of Tavistock.
Something of a best kept secret this spacious three bedroom house will be found to be close to local amenities, shops and facilities. This home ticks so many of those proverbial boxes that we are always looking to see when we bring such a well-appointed property to the market place.
Views from the property reach over and beyond Tavistock to the moors and countryside, whilst the extensive lawns and gardens remain private and secluded.
Tavistock is a thriving 'stannary' and ancient town with a vibrant six days a week Pannier market, a large variety of independent shops and cafes many of which are artisan and independent. The town is steeped in history dating back to the 10th century and is the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake. Tavistock boasts various primary, state and private secondary schools, Doctors' surgeries, swimming pools and tennis courts and of course is on the edge of the moor with all the recreation and leisure pursuits that Dartmoor has to offer.
