Yelverton, Devon

Located on the edge of moorland, a substantial Victorian house offering beautiful gardens and generous accommodation in an idyllic setting.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
On the market for just the third time since it was built in the 1890’s this exceptional Victorian semi-detached residence, situated in one of the more sought-after locations in the area has direct access to the moor and exceptional views. This impressive home offers a perfect blend of period charm, generous proportions, and a stunning setting.

Approached directly from the moors and Yelverton Golf Links Course, via an automatic five bar gate, the property opens onto a gravel driveway with ample space for parking and turning under the striking double bay window front elevation, an elegant Victorian façade that sets the tone for what lies within.

An entrance vestibule leads into a welcoming hallway, where the character of the home begins to unfold. High ceilings, decorative plasterwork, and period details typical of Victorian houses have been retained, while full height sash windows in the reception rooms bathe the house in light.

Off the hallway is the large drawing room that enjoys glorious morning sunshine, the dining room that will easily seat a table of ten for a dinner party, the sitting room overlooking the gardens, study, cloakroom, and kitchen / breakfast room with utility leading off that, and out onto the terrace. All the reception rooms have gas or open fires.

At the end of the hall the staircase climbs up to the landing from which lead 5 bedrooms. Three are large doubles, each with fitted wardrobes and full height sash windows, and two smaller bedrooms — one with a balcony to enjoy the morning sun. All have outstanding views either over the moors or over the gardens and on towards Cornwall. A bathroom and a shower room serve the first floor, offering convenience and comfort for a large family.

The extensive gardens are a standout feature of this property: 40 years of planting with a wide variety of mature perennials gives colour throughout much of the year. A spacious terrace that is bathed in sun from midday right until sunset is a perfect spot for al fresco dining or entertaining overlooking the long first lawn and its herbaceous borders. Steps at the end of the lawn lead down to a lower garden with further planting, workshop / garage, sheds and a large greenhouse, ideal for keen gardeners or those seeking a tranquil escape.

The property is close to amenities in Yelverton, which has a useful selection of shops, including the Co-op supermarket, a delicatessen, hairdressers, garage, doctor’s surgery, and dentist. The ancient stannary town of Tavistock is around 6 miles to the north, and it is particularly well located for a commute to the historic naval port of Plymouth about 10 miles to the south. Yelverton has regular bus services to both Tavistock and Plymouth, where the national rail network provides connections to London and countless other destinations. Plymouth also has cross-channel ferry services to both France and Spain, and has excellent sailing facilities, while Dartmoor National Park is on your doorstep. For golfers, the golf club is a stone’s throw away.
