Situation This incredible home occupies a wonderful, large and level plot amounting to approximately 3 acres, in a sheltered and verdant position within the picturesque Lyd Valley.
Various woodland walks and trails exist in close proximity to the property, including Lee Wood and Lee Downs, Lew Wood, Lydford Forest and Lydford Gorge, in addition to the wide expanse of Dartmoor National Park 4.5 miles to the east.
The area is well-known for its quiet and unspoilt nature, and is within easy reach of all three of the nearby towns of Tavistock, Launceston and Okehampton, at 7,10.5 and 13 miles away respectively.
At Okehampton, there is access to the A30 and a train connection to Exeter.
Tavistock, in particular, is a thriving market town, rich in history and tradition, and also offering an array of educational and recreational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly.
The cathedral city of Exeter lies some 35 miles to the east, providing rail, air and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.
Description This remarkable, one-of-a-kind statement home was constructed in 2003 on the site of a former railway ticket office.
Its striking contemporary appearance incorporates design elements borrowed from the original 19th-century building, including two canopied terraces in the style of the original station, which also incorporate the original platform structure.
Internally, the accommodation has been finished to a truly incredible standard with bespoke, high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout.
Each of the rooms are bright, tasteful and extremely well-proportioned, perfect for active family life.
Surrounding the house are some exceptionally beautiful, landscaped gardens which have been thoughtfully and meticulously arranged to include several areas of manicured lawn with colourful borders, a large productive vegetable garden, meadow and orchard, as well as a sizeable wildlife pond.
Finally, the house is served by extensive parking, plus garaging, a workshop and home gym setup.
Accommodation The house can be accessed via several entrances, with the formal front door, positioned on the northern side, opening into a vestibule with tiled flooring and a well-appointed cloakroom.
From here, one enters a dual-aspect library, serving as a wonderful reception room fitted with bespoke shelving and featuring solid timber parquet flooring, a striking oak staircase rising to the first floor, and a Godin solid-fuel stove set on a slate hearth.
Beyond is a sizeable drawing room, also dual-aspect with views over the front lawn, currently utilised as a home office and centred around an open-flame fireplace within the original chimney breast.
Across the library is the beautifully appointed kitchen, upgraded by the current owners and fitted with an extensive range of cupboards and cabinets to three walls with quartz worktops.
A separate utility room, with matching cabinetry and quartz worktops, provides space for laundry appliances.
Adjoining the kitchen is a very impressive, vaulted hardwood orangery, forming an exceptional reception space with a strong connection to the gardens.
Of particular note, the kitchen incorporates a double Shaws ceramic sink, triple pantry cupboard and integrated Miele appliances including a traditional oven, separate steam oven, combination microwave oven, coffee machine and dishwasher, together with a substantial Godin cooker with four-ring gas hob, hot plate and deep fat fryer with extractor over, and space for two full-height fridge-freezers.
On the first floor, the master suite comprises a vaulted, dual-aspect bedroom overlooking the gardens, a sizeable dressing room with extensive wardrobes and drawers, and a luxuriously appointed en-suite.
There are three further, beautiful double bedrooms, two of which are vaulted and the other serves as a superb guest room with its own en-suite.
The family bathroom is finished to a very high standard with marble tiling and Imperial sanitaryware, including a deep oval bath.
Gardens And Outbuildings The house is approached via a sweeping, electric-gated driveway flanked by well-kept lawns and a variety of mature trees.
The garaging, constructed in matching style, comprises a vaulted space with two sets of remote-controlled solid oak doors, power, lighting and a loft storage area.
Adjacent is a workshop leading through to a utility room and cloakroom, and on to a gym suite with its own external door, power, lighting, and phone and Ethernet connections, offering excellent versatility as a home office, studio or hobbies space.
The gardens are a particular highlight, extending across approximately 3 acres and comprising beautifully maintained lawns with deep, colourful planted borders, two rose gardens, a wild meadow and orchard, and a productive vegetable garden with greenhouse, potting shed, fruit cage and pavilion.
In addition, there is a tranquil wildlife area with a sizable natural pond set within a lightly wooded copse, while at the far end lies a further section of the former platform, including an original brick-built station office, once used for livestock loading.
Services Mains water and electricity are connected. Private drainage via a septic tank. Lpg-fired central and underfloor heating throughout.
There are 14 photovoltaic panels on a feed-in tariff, generating approx. £1,300 per annum, and a new Tesla battery storage.
Standard broadband is available, and variable outdoor mobile signal is available through O2, Vodafone and EE (source: Ofcom's online service checker).
Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services. Agent's Notes 1. As shown on our Location Plan, the property owns the driveway to the public highway.
Two neighbouring properties benefit from a right of way over the drive (outside of the property's gates and hedge boundaries). 2.
One of those neighbours also benefits from a pedestrian right-of-way across a small part of the property, although this is rarely used as, in practical terms, the driveway entrance provides better access.
