Drake Villas, Tavistock, Devon, PL19

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION Offered with no onward chain, a light and airy extended three-bedroom 1930’s semi-detached family home set on a large corner plot with valuable driveway parking and garage. Conveniently situated in a prominent location an easy level walk from the town centre, schooling and amenities. The property, we believe, was originally built for the police force of Tavistock and retains some lovely original features. It enjoys a far-reaching aspect over the statue of Sir Francis Drake, town and moorland beyond. Early viewing is recommended. You enter through PVCu double glazed French doors into the entrance porch with tiled flooring and shelving. An original stained-glass front door with matching stained-glass panels to both sides leads into the entrance hall with balustrade staircase rising to the first floor with useful understairs storage and window to side. The kitchen is fitted with matching wall and base cabinets with PVCu double glazed window to side overlooking the garden. An opening leads into the utility room which has space and plumbing for white goods, a wall hung ‘Vaillant’ gas fired combination boiler, side access door to gardens and sliding door to the cloakroom which is fitted with a white suite. The dining room is open plan with the sitting room creating a spacious 25’ dual aspect reception with fireplace housing a living flame gas fire and a lovely bay window to front overlooking the gardens with views over the statue of Sir Francis Drake, town and moorland beyond. The dining area has a blocked fireplace with original built-in cupboards to one recess. French doors to the rear lead into the conservatory which enjoys a fantastic vista over the rear garden with full width sliding patio doors opening to the patio and gardens. On the first floor, the landing has loft access and window to side. There are three bedrooms, two generous doubles and a good sized single. Two of the bedrooms enjoy the aspect to the front with views over the statue and down Plymouth Road to the moorland beyond. The remaining bedroom enjoys a pleasant aspect of the rear gardens. The accommodation is completed with the family bathroom fitted with a white suite.

OUTSIDE The property sits on a large corner plot with attractive mature gardens to three sides, which are a particular feature of this lovely family home. To the front a wrought iron pedestrian gate opens to a long, gravelled footpath leading to the main entrance and continues alongside the property providing access to all garden areas and entrances. The front garden enjoys an easterly aspect, perfect for the morning sun, and is partly enclosed by an attractive natural stone wall. The garden is laid to an expanse of lawn with deep colourful borders and is interspersed with further well stocked flower beds. A wooden gate provides access to the side garden which enjoys a sunny south facing aspect and has a wooden summerhouse measuring 6’9 x 6’9 along with a lean-to greenhouse. There is access from here to the utility room, and a paved footpath leads to the garage and driveway parking. The lovely rear garden enjoys a westerly aspect and is enclosed by the natural stone wall and has been cleverly landscaped to create a beautiful garden. Immediately to the rear and accessible via the conservatory is a crazy paved patio with natural stone edging, ideal for outside dining and enjoying the garden and sun sets. Beyond the patio is an area of lawn, alongside which is the main greenhouse measuring approximately 10’ x 6’ and a useful garden shed measuring approximately 8’ x 5’. Towards the rear of the garden is another patio area providing an additional area from which to sit and enjoy the sunshine, garden and pleasant surroundings.
