Situation - The property is situated at the entrance to a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular Dartmoor village of Mary Tavy, which has a range of local amenities including a post office, general store, pub and Ofsted "Outstanding"-rated primary school. For those who enjoy an outdoor-oriented lifestyle, the property is located on Route 27 of the National Cycle Network, and there is also very easy access to the open expanse of Dartmoor National Park, either at Blackdown Common, half a mile to the west, or at Horndon, 1.8 miles to the northeast. Tavistock, 4 miles to the south, is a thriving market town in West Devon forming part of a designated World Heritage Site and offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. Plymouth, 19 miles to the south, offers extensive amenities with the added attraction of its coastal access. The cathedral city of Exeter lies 35 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - This charming 3-bedroom, semi-detached home has been extended at the rear and offers some extremely well-rounded and well-proportioned accommodation providing comfort and flexibility in equal measure. Having been a cherished home to our client for over 20 years, the house has been maintained and cared for although some modernisation is now likely to be desirable for an incoming owner, and further extension or remodelling may also be possible (subject to any necessary consents or approvals). Externally, the house is complemented by a large, mature wrap-around garden which faces southwest, and offers excellent space for both active families and keen horticulturalists alike. Complete with valuable off-road parking space in addition to a detached garage, this appealing home would suit both young and growing families - including first-time buyers - as well as those downsizing or retiring.

Accommodation - The accommodation is accessed on the ground floor, through a porch and into a hallway. On the ground floor are dual-aspect sitting and dining rooms, both with fireplaces housing log-burning stoves, plus the triple-aspect kitchen extension and a useful cloakroom. The kitchen is equipped with a very good range of cupboards and cabinets across three walls, with spaces for appliances including a freestanding electric cooker. On the first floor are three bedrooms, including two doubles overlooking the garden, and a modern shower room finished with a fully tiled shower enclosure complete with a Triton electric shower.

Outside - The property's corner-plot gardens are an undoubted highlight, facing southwest and wrapping around the house to the front, side and rear. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden is interspersed with mature shrubs and features colourful, well-stocked borders which are no doubt a magnet for birds, bees and other wildlife. To the side of the plot are a greenhouse and a detached blockwork outbuilding providing useful tool or machinery storage, plus an adjacent enclosed patio area. At the foot of the garden are a driveway and detached garage, providing valuable off-road parking space.

Services - Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. Oil-fired central heating. Superfast broadband is available. Limited mobile voice/data services are available through EE, O2 and Vodafone (source: Ofcom's online service checker). Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
