Wonderful cosy reversed living cottage situated in a village location, close to the local pub and town centre. The perfect family retreat for those wanting to explore the great outdoors.

This wonderful rural retreat has Dartmoor quite literally on the doorstep. Situated at the foot of the Iron Age hillfort of White Tor with miles of walks to be enjoyed, this cottage is perfect for those looking to explore on foot or by bicycle. The property is ideally located on the Devon section of the National Cycle Network, taking visitors all the way down to Plymouth (16.5 miles). 3 miles away, the pretty town of Tavistock offers a range of shops, restaurants, a theatre, and a bustling market. Slightly further out but a great day nonetheless is the National Marine Aquarium (14 miles) - the perfect day out for all the family. Or why not try out the village pub which is just 500 metres down the road?

Enter this charming cottage that is oozing with character and move into a hallway with space to put your coats and shoes. Directly in front of you is the ground-floor shower room with WC: this is a Jack and Jill style and allows access to the ground-floor bedroom, which features a king-size bed, exposed traditional beams, a TV and a lovely cosy ambience with its original features. Move through to the hallway and into a dining room with its large round dining table, some comfortable seating and a beautiful wood burner for you to settle down in front of on a chilly evening whilst watching the Smart TV. Off this room is the fabulous kitchen with an electric range oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine and fridge/freezer - the perfect place to pack up a lunch for the day or cook up your favourite dinner. Moving upstairs via the traditional cottage staircase is the lounge, again with a wood burner, Smart TV, stunning exposed beams and lots of natural light via the windows. Bedroom two is also on this floor featuring a king-size bed, dressing table and Smart TV. Also on this floor is the twin bedroom again full of character with a super cosy feel and a TV. Next door is the main bathroom with a bath, separate shower and WC.

Outside is a fantastic, enclosed garden with some lawn and a patio with garden furniture where you can enjoy a lovely view and dine alfresco. There is private off-road parking for one car and additional roadside parking (subject to availability).
