Gardens with pond and patio, off road parking and various buildings. Land in two enclosures with mains water connected.
SITUATION
The cottage occupies a rural setting with open views over the Tamar Valley adjoining country lanes, yet is within a mile of Gunnislake village with primary school, health centre and a variety of shops having closer to hand Gunnislake Station with branch line connecting to the city of Plymouth and garage with mini-market. The major West Devon town of Tavistock is roughly 5 miles and within a similar distance is the East Cornwall town of Callington. For equestrian enthusiasts the Duchy College at Stoke Climsland hosts many equestrian events during the year and is just 2 miles north of Callington.
DESCRIPTION
The cottage is well presented and offers surprisingly spacious accommodation with solid fuel fire in the sitting room which provides domestic hot water and serves four radiators. The property is double glazed as is the conservatory and the property enjoys a sunny southerly aspect in the micro climate of the Tamar Valley.
ACCOMMODATION
With access off a quiet back lane a hand gate opens onto a most attractive enclosed front garden with pond feature, decked area with fabulous views over the Tamar Valley to Devon beyond, further lawn and patio areas and access off to the conservatory and main entrance.

Staircase ascends to a generous Landing with window to the rear and all first floor rooms directly off. It should be noted that whilst this is a two bedroom cottage the rooms are of excellent proportion and with stud partition walling the layout could be redesigned if required. The Main Bedroom has a range of built-in folding door wardrobes, hatch to the roof space and window to the front where there are enhanced views down the Tamar Valley. Bedroom Two is also a double with built-in wardrobe and again window with open views. Bathroom with generous floor area having corner bath set in tiled surround, separate double size shower with electric unit, pedestal wash basin, shaver point, radiator and double doors to built-in airing cupboard with fortic tank having a supplementary immersion heater.

Proceed for just a few hundred yards turning left opposite the Tamar Valley Centre and proceed down under the railway bridge (the two fields on the left just above and just below the railway bridge are the ones being sold with the property).
