SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

Tucked away in a quiet corner in the old part of Mary Tavy yet within easy reach of local amenities including the well patronised Mary Tavy Inn Public House, Post Office and General Store and the well regarded Country Primary School.

Mary Tavy is a small village situated approximately four miles north of Tavistock and lies within the National Park. It has its own primary school, post office, church and an inn, and has a private bus service to and from Tavistock. Plymouth city centre is about 19 miles distant.

Tavistock is a thriving market town and was in 2004 voted the winner of a nationwide survey undertaken by the Council for the Protection of Rural involving 120 other market towns. Among the assets taken into consideration were history, architecture, community spirit, planning sensitivity, recreational facilities and individuality of shops and businesses. Additional facilities include a hospital, a bustling Pannier Market and a full range of schools both State and Private. Indeed Tavistock can claim to have everything adding up to a quality of life which would be hard to rival.

Plymouth is only 15 miles away with fast Inter City rail links to London, Bristol and the North. There are also ferry services to Roscoff, Brittany and Santander, Northern Spain.

A very pretty detached stone barn, originally converted some years ago and much improved by the present owners now providing very well appointed accommodation arranged over two floors. The barn stands in beautifully tended formal gardens which are a particular attractive feature and extend in total to approximately 0.35 acres. Both the barn and garden are sunny and south facing and there are some excellent views extending over the village towards Blackdown and the tors of Dartmoor.
