SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
This charming period home occupies a delightful situation, set within well-established gardens and grounds of approximately 0.63 acre, on a sought-after residential road fronting the open moorland of Roborough Down. Approximately one mile from the amenities and shops of Yelverton, just outside the western boundary of the Dartmoor National Park and on the edge of the Golf Course.

A substantial late 19th Century Victorian semi-detached house with a recently modernised annex which has a separate heating system, ideal for family or a rentable income. There is also a traditional series of outbuildings including a detached coach house which provides garaging for two vehicles with loft storage over. At the rear is a gardener's cloakroom, a former loose box/gardener's store and studio which was formerly the groom's bothy.

This fine property is constructed in the traditional manner which has been rendered and painted externally under a slate roof. The majority of the windows have the original wooden sash frames, many of which have been renovated and double glazed, and the property has the benefit of gas fired central heating. Many of the original features have been retained throughout the property to include an attractive balustraded return staircase, dado and picture rails, art deco styled fireplaces and lighting and high ceilings with cornicing.

On the ground floor there is a delightful reception hall with doors to the sitting room; dining room; kitchen/breakfast room, with Aga, and cloakroom. This is enhanced by a conservatory accessed from the dining room and kitchen/breakfast room which aids entertaining. The ground floor also includes a utility room and decked balcony.

From the hall a balustraded staircase rises to the first floor landing where there is a principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The staircase continues to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms and attic storage with potential to be converted to an additional bathroom.

A spacious lower ground floor self-contained annexe comprises of a kitchen/breakfast room; sitting room; bedroom and a shower room. There are also three useful cellars which are ideal for a hobby room, storage, and log store.

The property is approached via an electric gate which opens onto a drive providing parking for several vehicles. This continues along the side of the garden to the coach house. The gardens are a particular feature and afford far reaching views. They are extremely well tended and laid mainly to lawn with mature plants and shrubs providing an array of colour to the many flowerbeds and borders. This is enhanced by a delightful water feature comprising two separate ponds and a water course.

Yelverton is situated within the Dartmoor National Park and provides a good range of shopping facilities, churches, a health centre, and dentists surgery. Tavistock is around six miles to the north with Plymouth approximately ten miles to the south.
