Situation - The appealing character home occupies a hugely convenient location in the heart of Tavistock, within walking distance of the town’s many facilities and amenities.

The garden, which sits behind the cottage, faces west and enjoys an attractive townscape view, including of the town's iconic viaduct.

Tavistock itself is a thriving market town in West Devon, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century.

Well-known for its wonderful sense of community and offering a very high standard of living, today the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmers' markets are held.

Plymouth is 15 miles to the south, and Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Desription - This very charming, terraced cottage is offered to the market for the first time in over ten years, with no onward chain.

The characterful two-bedroom, two-reception accommodation has been well maintained, is bright throughout, and would ideally suit first-time purchasers, rental or holiday-let investors, and those seeking a pied-à-terre within the town.

A particular feature is the attractive, tiered rear garden, which winds away from the rear of the house, offering a surprising degree of privacy and shelter, and provides a number of delightful areas for planting, relaxing and outdoor dining, including a recently constructed timber summer house with potential as a home office or studio.

Accommodation - Throughout the cottage there are a number of attractive period details and features, including slate and exposed oak flooring, multi-pane sash windows, an attractive cast iron fireplace, slate windowsills and work surfaces, exposed beams and timber lintels, original panelled doors and exposed stonework.

The accommodation can be summarised as follows: an entrance porch; a front-facing sitting room, centred around an attractive fireplace with slate hearth and timber surround, with a built-in cupboard under the stairs; the kitchen, with access to the garden; the adjacent high-vaulted dining room, which is fitted with a solid fuel stove incorporating an oven compartment and hot plate; two first floor bedrooms, of which the larger is front-facing and benefits from fitted wardrobe space, and the second benefits from a door and metal walkway out to the rear garden, and; a tastefully finished shower room.

The kitchen is equipped with traditional low-level cupboards and wall-mounted shelving, together with a combination of roll-edge and solid slate work surfaces incorporating a ceramic sink.

Integrated appliances include a Lamona four-ring induction hob and electric oven, while there is further space for a washing machine and slimline dishwasher.

Outside - To the rear of the kitchen is a small covered porch area with a storage cupboard and water tap.

From here, steps rise to the garden, which has been thoughtfully and colourfully planted, and cleverly arranged into a series of distinct "rooms", creating attractive seating areas which enjoy lovely views across the town towards Tavistock's iconic viaduct.

Halfway up the garden is a recently constructed timber summerhouse which would make an ideal home office, studio or hobby room, although no services are connected at present.

The upper levels of the garden are more wooded in nature and at the very top is a walled, grassed area which provides further opportunities for planting, outdoor dining or simply relaxing in a private setting.
