SITUATION
The property occupies a rural location looking across fields whilst having the backdrop of mature trees and access off a no-through road which serves only a handful of other properties, therefore with very little passing traffic and noise. There is access and footpaths through the nearby woodland and whilst occupying a private tucked away location, there are a good range of facilities at Gunnislake within roughly a mile including post office, primary school and health centre having at the top of the village a railway station with a regular service to Plymouth, garage with mini-market and fish & chip shop. The town’s of Callington and Tavistock are some 5 - 6 miles distance.
DESCRIPTION
At the front of the property there is parking to one side with double gates off to additional parking for another one or two vehicles if required. The Entrance Porch has tiled floor with circular bubble glass either side having lovely old Pine part glazed door to the Lounge/Diner, formerly two rooms and now opened up to provide a generous space with plenty of natural light and dual aspect windows to the front and side. Open beam ceiling throughout with natural wood flooring, staircase off in one corner with cupboard under, two open fireplaces with granite lintels, one having fitted wood burner stove. There are glazed sliding doors off to the Kitchen and also door to Store Room/Workshop with window to the front plus roof window and wall mounted electric modern fuse box and meter. The Kitchen has slate flooring with range of floor and wall cupboards, worktops with inset stainless steel sink, cooker space with fitted five burner gas stove with electric oven, space for dishwasher and washing machine under worktop, beamed ceiling and window and stable door to the side giving access to the car port and garden areas.
Staircase ascends to Landing with beamed ceiling, window to the rear with deep display sill and all first floor rooms directly off. There are Three Double Bedrooms each with beamed ceiling and exposed wooden flooring, one having built-in cupboard over the stairs and each bedroom has window to the front overlooking countryside. The main bedroom also has window to the rear. Bathroom with freestanding roll top cast iron bath, separate corner shower, wash basin and W.C., radiator/towel rail, built-in cupboard, extractor fan and window to the side. Depending on the time of year there are some views beyond the trees stretching to Devon.
OUTSIDE
As previously mentioned there are double gates off the parking area to a generous Car Port which is open to a further hard standing and this area could easily accommodate two vehicles. There is an outside boiler for the central heating, light, water tap and gas bottles for the hob with low maintenance garden comprising paved and decked patio areas. On the higher side of the property, there is a gravelled pathway to a Store Area with Shed and plastic oil storage tank. Whilst the gardens are low maintenance with no grass to cut and the property is not a garden lovers property as such, within 100 yards there is access into wooded walks allowing several routes in the picturesque Tamar Valley.
