A peaceful location so close to the town, idyllic. Comfortable accommodation with a beautiful garden, a good place for bird watching.

“Property situated in a good ...”

Property situated in a good location within a 15 minute walk to the centre of Tavistock. Very comfortable throughout although in places draughty due to the age of the property. Irritating that to access the large fridge/freezer and the washing machine you could only do this through the main up and over garage door, so during snow and wet weather pretty inconvenient. The freezer also had some half used food within it, which was a little off putting. The kitchen was well equipped, but had obviously not been checked, as the Cafietiere glass was cracked, and so there was no means to make proper coffee. Also the addition of a Pyrex bowl would have been useful. Very little fuel provided for the open fire - a couple of damp logs. However, even with the above comments we would return.

The property

This detached house dating from the 1920s is situated in a cul-de-sac on the hill looking over the Devon town of Tavistock.

Light and comfortable, it is a friendly base for couples or families to enjoy discovering Devon and Dartmoor.

The front door to the hall then takes you into the attractive sitting room with its open fire and bay window giving views of the garden.

On sunny days, head on through into the sun room.

Meals can be enjoyed in the dining room or in the breakfast room off the kitchen, which has a handy table for four.

The views over the town from the two double bedrooms which you will find upstairs are charming, and there is a pretty little single bedroom too, which shares the family bathroom.

To the front of the house, you have an enclosed garden with pretty plants, small fenced pond and a terrace where you can enjoy alfresco meals at the table and chairs.

For eating out, wander down into Tavistock town centre where you will find a choice of restaurants, as well as the leisure centre, theatre, pubs and shops.

From the town, the 21 mile Drakes Trail heads off to Plymouth, a great way to get to the city by bike or on foot.

The city’s amenities are 15 miles by road, and in just another five miles you reach the lovely sandy beaches of the South Hams.

With golf, riding and National Trust places to visit at Lydford Gorge, Saltram House, Buckland Abbey and Cotehele, there is plenty to keep you occupied when you enjoy a holiday at Old Berkeley.
