We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A substantial detached property set within a generous plot, positioned discreetly back from the A386.
Enjoying attractive rural views and the peaceful setting that this Dartmoor-edge village is known for, the house offers an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project in a scenic Devon location.
THE PROPERTY This generously sized home provides versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor includes three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and WC on a half landing.
The first floor offers five bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing ample space for a family or those wanting flexibility for home working or guest accommodation.
Outside to the front there is a private driveway with large parking area and a detached garage. To the rear is a good size south facing garden and a useful additional outbuilding.
While the property retains good fundamental proportions and sits well within its plot, it is in need of renovation and updating throughout, making it ideal for purchasers looking to modernise and improve a characterful home in a desirable rural location.
THE LOCATION Mary Tavy is a popular village within the Dartmoor National Park, offering easy access to walking routes, countryside views and a welcoming community.
Local amenities include a village shop, public houses and good road links to Tavistock, Exeter and the A30.
The Rectory enjoys westerly views toward Dartmoor and sits off a relatively quiet country road, providing both convenience and tranquillity.
Its well-proportioned plot, enclosed garden and rural outlook make this setting particularly appealing for those seeking a peaceful Devon lifestyle.
