The area is sought-after by those with an interest in sailing and other water sports, with the nearby hamlet of Weir Quay providing a boatyard and moorings.

The thriving market town of Tavistock, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site, is 9 miles away.

Description - This fascinating, one-of-a-kind property was built, we understand, circa 1980, and has been in our clients' family's ownership for over 30 years. The house itself is arranged in reverse-level fashion - specifically to take advantage of the wonderful river views - and offers extended 2-bedroom accommodation which offers scope for some modernisation, but offers exceptional scope for alteration, remodelling or further extension, subject to any necessary consents.

Accompanying the house is a separate, self-contained 2-bedroom coachman's flat, converted circa 1982, which provides flexibility for multi-generational occupancy or holiday/residential letting. The property occupies a beautiful, mature plot amounting to 0.38 acres, comprising wonderful front and rear gardens, and outbuildings including a garage, workshop and garden room.

The Flat - The self-contained coachman's flat sits over the garage and workshop, with external steps for access, and comprises an open-plan sitting room/kitchen, two bedrooms and a standalone bathroom all in good order throughout.
