A very handsome double fronted period house convenient located with the heart of Tavistock and offering well proportioned 3 double bedroomed accommodation complimented by a courtyard and rear garden. End terrace, 2 generous reception rooms, kitchen and separate utility room, courtyard and terrace garden, extremely convenient town centre, close to local amenities and facilities, no onward chain, freehold, council tax band: C.
Situation - This characterful home occupies a very prominent and accessible location within the heart of Tavistock, within 600 yards of the town centre, high street and other facilities and amenities. With an elevated position provides pleasant views towards Dartmoor and neighbouring countryside, particularly from the first floor and garden terrace.
Tavistock is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century, and famed for being the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held. Plymouth, some 15 miles to the south, offers extensive amenities. The cathedral city of Exeter lies some 40 miles to the northeast, providing transport connections to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links and the M5 motorway.
Description - We are very pleased to offer to the market this handsome double fronted period house which we believe dates back to the mid to late 19th Century and is full of traditional character and detailing. The house provides some very well proportioned and versatile 3 double bedroomed accommodation, including two sizeable reception rooms, a kitchen and separate utility. Complimenting the house externally is a wall enclosed courtyard and terraced rear garden providing a private and attractive oasis located in the heart of Tavistock town.
This appealing home is now offered to the market with no onward chain and would ideally suit those looking for a characterful town residence, a pied-à-terre, and those with a keen interest in period properties.
Accommodation - The house is accessed directly from the street up to a set of granite steps to the front door which leads into the main entrance, which in turn lead into the central hallway with exposed floorboards underfoot extending throughout. From the hallway there are stairs rising and turning to the first floor, and doors off to the sitting room, dining room, kitchen and rear utility.
The sitting room is a bright and square room with a window to the front aspect providing an unopposed view across neighbouring roof tops towards Rix Hill. The room is finished with a coved ceiling, and there are original display cupboards set into the fireplace out cove. Across the hall is the dining room, which is another classically proportioned square room centred around a cast iron fireplace on a slate half and with a timber mantel and surround.
The kitchen is fitted with a row of low-level cupboards with a rolltop work surfaces over. There is space and connection for a gas cooker to one side, with an opening that leads through to a scullery area where there are additional worktops incorporating a 1.5 bowl ceramic sink with drainer and mixer tap, there is also space under the counter for plumbed appliances. In the kitchen there is an exposed original stone fireplace now housing a trolla and used as a solid fuel log burner. There is also a set of hardwood French doors that lead out to the rear courtyard. At the rear of the hallway, a cloakroom can be found containing a high-flush WC and wall mounted corner basin. In addition, there is a utility room with space for all laundry appliances and a secondary sink set into a vanity unit. A further door leads out to the rear courtyard.
As you continue up the stairs from the hallway, it opens out onto a bright and galleried landing from where there are doors to each of the bedrooms and family bathroom. The principle bedroom is found to the rear of the house overlooking the rear courtyard and towards the terraced garden. The room contains an original sash window and a cast iron feature fireplace with a timber mantel and surround. There is a door from the principle bedroom through to an en-suite shower room which is equipped with a 3-piece suite including a fully tiled shower enclosure. From the en-suite, there is a door leading out to the rear decking and onto the rear garden. The further two double bedrooms are located to the front of the house, both are a good size with the second bedroom in particular containing another cast iron fireplace positioned on a slate half with original cupboards and shelving set into the side alcove. Both of the front facing bedrooms enjoy an elevated view across the town and towards Rix Hill. The family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary 3-piece suite and includes a panelled bath with a Triton electric shower over.
You can also access the loft space from the first-floor landing which we understand is a very good height which may lend itself to conversion subject to any necessary consents.
Outside - To the front of the house is a stone terrace enclosed from the road by high stone wall and iron railings. At the rear of the house is initially an enclosed courtyard garden accessible either from the kitchen or the utility. It is an attractive and sheltered outdoor space providing good privacy, with access to a storage area beneath the decking. There is separate rear access to this courtyard via a pedestrian footpath from nearby Ralph Court providing useful external access without going through the house.
There are steps leading up through an attractive original stone wall with arched brickwork headed opening leading to the principle garden. This area is a slate paved patio, surrounded on all sides by borders planted with a variety of shrubs and flowering plants, enclosed also on two sides with timber fencing, and on the other by an attractive stone high wall. The rear garden is elevated to first floor level yet enjoys a good degree of privacy and shelter and is known as a suntrap.
