## Description

Situated on the westerly edge of Dousland, this charming late-19th-century semi-detached cottage offers a wonderful blend of period character and thoughtful modernisation, all set within a private and peaceful position.

The property is approached via a private road and a double five-bar gated entrance, opening onto a generous driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. The driveway is framed by a large lawned front garden with pedestrian access, creating an attractive and welcoming approach. Upon entering the main house, you are greeted by a spacious and inviting entrance hall. The décor throughout is a true credit to the current owners, who have carefully retained much of the original cottage charm while upgrading the property to a high standard.

The ground floor accommodation is both flexible and well-proportioned. A home office/studio enjoys patio doors opening onto the front garden, making it ideal for home working or creative use. The main living room is cosy yet spacious, featuring doors to the front garden and a delightful working log burner, perfect for evenings in. At the heart of the home is the extended kitchen/diner, a superb social space finished in a classic country style with wall and floor-mounted units. A further log burner adds warmth and character, while Velux windows flood the room with natural light. The ground floor is completed by a well-appointed bathroom with both a separate bath and walk-in shower.

Upstairs, the cottage currently offers three bedrooms, comprising two comfortable double rooms and a single. For those looking for additional space, there is also scope to extend the first-floor accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The current owners previously obtained planning permission, which has now lapsed, for an upper-floor extension designed to create a larger third double bedroom, an en-suite to the principal bedroom and a family bathroom. The owners advise that the scheme could be reapplied for, and drawings of the previously approved plans are available for interested buyers to view.

Further enhancing the accommodation is a separate annexe, formerly a detached garage and now converted into ‘The Burrows’. This versatile space is currently arranged as open-plan accommodation with a living area that could also serve as a bedroom, along with a mezzanine level (with restricted head height) currently housing a bed, and a modern shower room. This addition is ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential Airbnb income.

Outside, the property enjoys a variety of outdoor spaces, including the large lawned front garden, a rear courtyard and a particularly impressive detached garden located just opposite the driveway. This extensive plot is bordered by mature trees and shrubs and offers excellent potential for a range of uses, from recreation and gardening to further landscaping.

A characterful and versatile village home in a highly desirable position, offering space, privacy and lifestyle flexibility. The cottage is complete with modern uPVC double glazing, central heating and benefits from nine owned solar panels with a DC-coupled battery.

Yelverton offers a wide range of shops and facilities, including a Co-op, doctor’s surgery, butcher, delicatessen, hairdresser, chemist and garage. The ancient stannary town of Tavistock lies about six miles to the north, while the historic naval port of Plymouth is approximately ten miles to the south. Yelverton has regular bus services to both Tavistock and Plymouth, with Plymouth providing national rail connections to London and many other destinations.

The region boasts excellent sporting and leisure facilities, such as Yelverton and Tavistock golf courses and Drake’s Trail cycle path, which links Tavistock with Plymouth along the former railway line, featuring tunnels and riverside sections. Lopwell Dam, located on the lower reaches of the River Tavy, and Buckland Abbey, the former home of Sir Francis Drake, are both nearby. Cornish beaches are within easy reach, while Dartmoor National Park, covering over 300 square miles of stunning open countryside, offers plenty for outdoor enthusiasts.
