CHARACTER TOWNHOUSE WITH TERRACED GARDEN

Nestled within the historic market town of Tavistock, this delightful cottage combines period charm with practical modern living. The property has a small terraced garden, gas central heating, and a wealth of character features throughout and presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or those seeking to find a unique property within easy reach of the town centre.

The property is entered via the ground-floor kitchen, which features attractive slate-tiled flooring and stylish petrol-blue cabinetry complemented by marble-effect work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a Zanussi stainless-steel oven, a four-burner gas hob, and an extractor hood. A stainless-steel inset sink with grooved drainer, together with space for a washing machine, fridge, and freezer, provides everyday practicality. A particularly appealing feature is the original stone fireplace, thoughtfully repurposed as a drinks storage area, adding both character and functionality. A wooden rear door with obscured glazing provides access to steps leading up to the terraced garden.

Stairs rise from the kitchen to the first floor, incorporating useful under-stair storage. The staircase opens into an inviting lounge, which is carpeted throughout and offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. To the rear, an original window with a slate windowsill overlooks the rear of the property, while to the front, an original single-glazed window benefits from secondary glazing and has a radiator beneath. A working wood-burning stove set within a stone fireplace creates a cosy focal point, perfect for relaxing evenings. Wall-mounted lighting and wooden window sills further enhance the property's period character.

The second floor accommodates the principal bedroom, providing a characterful retreat. Accessed via a further staircase, which forms an attractive feature within the room itself, the bedroom enjoys both front and rear aspects. An original window to the rear provides space beneath for storage furniture, while original sash windows to the front benefit from secondary glazing. The room is served by an en-suite bathroom comprising a corner bath, shower enclosure, pedestal wash hand basin, and WC.

Benefiting from gas central heating and original features, this charming cottage offers comfortable living within a characterful setting, all within convenient reach of Tavistock's shops, amenities, and historic town centre.
