PL19 9BQ
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Tucked away in a highly desirable position in Whitchurch, this unique detached residence enjoys the perfect balance of convenience and tranquillity, being just a short, walkable distance from Tavistock town centre while also offering close by access to open moorland.
Accessed via a gated private driveway, the property sits within a generous 0.26 acre plot, a particularly noteworthy feature that provides both privacy and exciting potential. Historically forming part of local farmland and once used as an orchard, the grounds still retain several mature apple trees, adding charm and a sense of heritage.
The plot was privately acquired by the current owner, who commissioned an architect to design this distinctive, one-off Scandinavian-inspired home in the 1970s. Under the same ownership ever since, the property has been lovingly maintained, preserving its original character while offering clear scope for extension(STP).
The accommodation is arranged over split levels, creating a light-filled and versatile living environment. A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space. The kitchen and dining room are set on a raised level, overlooking the main living area and the gardens beyond, which can be accessed easily through the large, modern patio doors. High ceilings throughout this space enhance the sense of volume and light, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
From here, steps lead down to two well-proportioned bedrooms, a shower room, and a utility area. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly striking in size and features patio doors leading onto a balcony, where far-reaching countryside views can be enjoyed. A further spacious bedroom is also located on this floor, with both rooms served by a generous family bathroom complete with separate, sunken bath and shower.
Externally, the gardens are a standout feature
Immediately adjoining the property is a sunny patio area, perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding views. Steps lead down to expansive, South-Westerly facing lawned gardens interspersed with mature planting and fruit trees, creating a variety of attractive focal points. A stone-built garden shed adds further practicality.Additional benefits include a carport and ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles.
Offering a rare combination of space, character, and potential in a sought-after location, this is a truly special home with light, airy accommodation and exceptional grounds that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
