SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A sympathetically restored and beautifully presented three-bedroom, detached, stone built home, full of warmth and character, located in the heart of the popular moorland village of Peter Tavy and within short walking distance of open moorland, Dartmoor and an excellent local pub, The Peter Tavy Inn!

Formerly the village Post House, the property was carefully and sympathetically restored to create a comfortable home of some distinction, full of character, with a warm and welcoming feel about it.

The open plan living and dining area is a particularly attractive feature, centred around the woodburning stove. An attractive country style kitchen has been installed with oak frontages and varnished work tops, a separate island and a (LPG) gas range cooker. The ground floor has slate flagged flooring whilst an oak staircase rises to the first floor, where wide plank oak floorboards have been laid. Oak doors and trims have been installed as has double glazing in hardwood frames.

The house is warmed by underfloor heating, served by a Worcester oil fired boiler.
Outside, the house stands side on to the quiet road that passes through the village. Pedestrians approach via a meandering gravel path leading to the front door and porch. To the rear, a gravelled driveway provides parking and vehicular access to the double garage. Beyond the driveway there is a private and sheltered, walled courtyard, a decked seating area, perfect for outdoor eating and entertaining; steps lead up to a raised, lawned garden with pleasant views towards the church.

Please note that this property is being sold with no onward chain.
