Sand Lane, Calstock

A captivating 3-bedroom, split-level bungalow occupying an incredible, elevated yet accessible position in the heart of Calstock, enjoying breath-taking views over the River Tamar. Freehold; Council Tax Band: E; EPC Band: F.

Situation - This impressive property is situated in an elevated yet discreet, and hugely convenient position in the heart of Calstock, overlooking the village centre and benefitting from some spectacular views of the River Tamar. All of the village’s amenities, including its popular pubs and public quayside, are within just a couple of hundred yards.

Sitting amongst the Tamar Valley National Landscape (formerly AONB), Calstock is a thriving village with an active arts and musical community, benefitting from a regular, 35-minute train service to the city of Plymouth. With its access to the River Tamar, quay and mooring facilities, the village is popular with sailing enthusiasts. Within a short walk are The River Tamar Walkway and Wetland Project, a wildlife nature reserve, and various other footpaths and trails, including the National Trust's notable Cotehele House and Estate. The desirable market town of Tavistock in West Devon, with its superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, is just 6.5 miles away.

Description - This hugely interesting and essentially unique property was constructed, we believe, in the 1980’s and has undergone significant alteration and improvement during our clients' 9-year ownership.

Internally, the property has been transformed through the creation of a very striking and impressive open-plan living area which has been designed to maximise the incredible views across the River Tamar and the provision of natural light. Externally, the bungalow is surrounded by some thoughtfully landscaped, Mediterranean-style terraced gardens which offer a surprising level of privacy and shelter, and again take full advantage of the incredible views. The property is complete with a driveway and other notable features include a detached timber summerhouse and a storage cellar. This is a fascinating, one-of-kind home which should be viewed to be truly appreciated.

Accommodation - The property is accessed beneath a covered veranda directly into the open-plan reception room, which takes full advantage of the spectacular southerly views.

The accommodation is then comprised as follows: a sitting area centered around a log burning stove, with sliding doors to the front terrace and separate patio doors to the side terrace; the kitchen and dining area, which is equipped with a good range of contemporary units with quartz worktops incorporating a 1.5-bowl, stainless steel sink and with integrated AEG appliances including a 4-ring induction hob and extractor over, double oven, dishwasher and fridge-freezer; a sperate utility room; on the upper ground floor, a dual-aspect master double bedroom enjoying a wonderful view of the river, with fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite shower room; an adjacent study/boot room; two further, lower ground floor double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, of which one overlooks the river and the other has patio doors to the side garden, and; a tastefully finished, fully tiled shower room with a Mira Sport electric shower.

Outside - A driveway at street level provides off-road parking for up to two vehicles in tandem. Steps lead up to the Mediterranean-style, terraced gardens which are set out to the front and both sides of the bungalow, perfect for outdoor entertaining and dining, and for enjoying the incredible surrounding views. To one side is a sheltered patio, a wildlife pond and a timber summerhouse with power, lighting and its own covered veranda, which could serve as a home office or hobbies/games room. There is access to a cellar beneath the front veranda which has power and lighting.

Services - Mains water, electricity and drainage. Heating is principally via the log burning stove in the sitting room. There is a night storage heater in one of the bedrooms. Superfast broadband is available and mobile voice/data services are available with O2 and Vodafone. (Source, Ofcom's online service checker).
