Situation - This charming home occupies a level plot of approx. 0.25 acres, in a quiet and sheltered position within the unspoilt village of Latchley, amongst the verdant surroundings of the Tamar Valley National Landscape. Woodland walks and access to the river Tamar itself are within a short walk of the property, and the village also benefits from an absence of through traffic, giving it a superb sense of peace and privacy.

Only two miles away, the village of Gunnislake offers a full range of day-to-day amenities including a Post Office, two general stores, an Asda fuel station and mini-supermarket, a primary school, a health centre, garages, several public houses and a railway station providing a regular service into Plymouth city (a 25-minute journey). Tavistock, to the east, is a thriving market town on the edge of Dartmoor National Park offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities. Plymouth, with its coastal access, is 20 miles to the south. The city of Exeter lies 45 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to the rest of the UK.

Description - Offered to the market with no onward chain, this extremely comfortable village home was built, we understand, in the early 1980s and extended around 2004, and now offers some very well-appointed accommodation which has been maintained in excellent condition in recent years.

The house is characterised by bright, well-proportioned rooms offering a good degree of flexibility, most notably through the very impressive living room extension, and complemented externally by some very pretty, stream-bordered front and rear gardens. A large, gated driveway and integral garage complete this well-rounded and appealing home.

Accommodation - A large veranda and storm porch lead into an entrance hallway, where there is a cloakroom off to one side. In brief, the ground-floor accommodation comprises: a front-facing, dual-aspect sitting room centered around an electric fireplace; a kitchen/breakfast room leading out to the extension; a study/dining room with patio doors to the garden, which could function as a ground-floor bedroom; a separate utility, and; the striking, triple-aspect, vaulted reception room extension with patio doors to the garden. This impressive room could be put to various uses, such as a dedicated dining room, hobbies or games room, or a principal living room. The kitchen is equipped with a very good range of units with quartz worktops over, incorporating a 1.5-bowl ceramic sink and drainer, plus integrated appliances including a Neff multi-function halogen hob, eye-level oven and separate microwave, and an Indesit dishwasher.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, including a dual-aspect master served by a fully tiled en-suite, plus two further bedrooms both enjoying an attractive view over the front garden, and a 4-piece family bathroom.

Outside - The house is set back from the lane by a sizable, gated brick-paved driveway leading to the integral garage which benefits from power, lighting, and a substantial storage and workshop area overhead. The beautifully kept, private and sheltered gardens are an undoubted highlight, being planted with a variety of flowering shrubs and specimen trees and featuring a gently flowing stream along their western boundary. To the side of the house, a private patio area overlooks the stream, and there is a further paved seating area outside of the kitchen and living room.
