SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION An extended Victorian house with an attractive and sizeable gardens along with a front courtyard located in a village on a tranquil peninsula. We understand the house was a former smelting and assay officer's house and built in the 1800s in the traditional manner under a tiled roof. The entire plot extends to approximately 0.15 of an acre with useful outbuildings, including a former garage plus an original stone pig sty.

The home has been renovated over the recent past with improvements, including an extension on the rear elevation, a new heating system and oil fired boiler. The rear garden has an expanse of lawn with a stepping stone path which leads up to a section of the garden which has raised vegetable boxes and is enclosed for the current owner's ducks. Internally the property has notable character with original stain glass window, fireplaces and balustrade.

The accommodation comprises reception sitting room, study, hallway with a utility cupboard, kitchen, dining room and a shower room. To the first floor are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. There are views from the rear aspect on the first floor over surrounding houses across to the Tamar Valley. The village has a railway station, bus services, village store/post office and bakery, small supermarket, convenience store, pharmacy, doctors surgery, hairdressers and primary school.
