3 Bed House For Sale

NO ONWARD CHAIN - A detached home with attractive gardens, scope to extend, a short walk from the village school, train station, shops and beautiful open countryside for peaceful escapes.



SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Built we believe in around 1960 as the village police house (see black and white picture) with good size living rooms and a now attractive garden with an abundance of colourful plants and flowers to both front and rear. The house has been recently improved by the current owner, including a modern boiler, gas flame stove in the sitting room, rewiring and PVCu double glazing. The property also has also been made more energy efficient with the addition of further insulation in the cavity walls. The home has a pleasant atmosphere and offers scope for further updating and improvements. There is also potential to extend and/or convert the garage area, subject to permissions and approvals. The house has several useful storage cupboards through the living spaces including a larder which is at the end of the kitchen. As the property was once home to a police office, there is a nice size room off the hallway which could be a further bedroom, living room and/or a place to work from home. The sitting room is dual aspect and continues through to the breakfast/dining room with a fitted breakfast bar that is positioned under the window looking out to the rear garden. The kitchen is long and offers fitted cupboards and door to the rear lobby. This lobby room links the house to the integral garage/utility room, plus a downstairs toilet and a rear door to the garden. Upstairs there is a light landing with doors off to the bedrooms. There are three bedrooms in total, plus a shower room, which originally had a bath, and a further separate toilet next door. There are pleasant views from the rear bedroom across the garden and the surrounding landscape. The house is sited next to the village school and fire station, which means the occupied dwelling is on one boundary. This does provide a degree of feeling secluded and a sense of space.

At the front of the house is a driveway flanked by a garden with a path to the entrance door. The rear garden has two bird aviaries and a greenhouse plus a pond. The current owner loves animals so the garden is secure for pets. There are some beautiful plants in the grounds and little nooks to rest and enjoy the sun and setting.

This tranquil Devonshire village has been labelled a World Heritage Site and is perfectly positioned away from main roads. The village offers a rare local railway station which forms part of the Tamar Valley Line, connecting to the waterside village of Bere Ferrers and Calstock plus onto Plymouth City in around 20 minutes. There are also several shops including a post office stores with local bakery, two small supermarkets, butchers, hairdressers, café/restaurant, takeaway, pharmacy, doctors’ surgery, primary school, public house, bus services and a garage with petrol station.

Bere Alston is 15 minutes by car from both Tavistock and Yelverton and approximately one hour from Exeter. The surrounding fields of the village are peppered with public footpaths which have beautiful walks and views of the Tamar River and surrounding countryside. The Bere Peninsula is formed by the Rivers Tavy and Tamar creating a special secluded area steeped in history. Due to the rivers there are also public slipways and boat yards at Bere Ferrers and Weir Quay along with a gig club and excellent outdoor pursuit facilities.
