and excellent riding out this beautifully presented home is ideally equipped for the equestrian enthusiast.

SITUATION

This characterful and beautifully presented detached family home is set in a peaceful but easy to reach location just inside the

Cornish border surrounded by the attractive wooded countryside of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The

River Tamar itself can be reached by a pleasant walk down the quiet country road that leads to the property and there is

excellent riding out in the area on minor roads, bridleways and through Duchy of Cornwall woodlands. The detached

residence has been much improved and extended by the current owners over recent years and is set in an attractive position

on the edge of the small hamlet of Cox Park being the last house before open countryside which runs down to the small

village of Latchley half a mile away. There are attractive views of the surrounding countryside and to Kit Hill particularly from

the rear of the property, which is West facing and the views can be enjoyed from the extensive decked terrace to the rear of

the property and also from the two balconies to either side of the master bedroom suite on the first floor.

From the road double high wooden gates open to an extensive driveway and parking which leads beyond the residence to a

garage, games room and onto the stable yard, hay store, tack and feed store and onto the sand school and paddocks beyond

all accessed via an access lane with some woodland lying at the bottom of the grounds adjoining Duchy woodland.

As well as enjoying attractive views of the surrounding countryside towards Kit Hill nearby the property is located within two

miles of local shops and services and the A390 is just over 1.25 miles giving easy access to Tavistock and to Callington and

leading on to Plymouth via the A388 to the South. The railway station at Gunnislake provides a branch line service to

Plymouth with wider facilities, university, theatre, high street and out of town shopping centres along with many other

facilities along with being a popular sailing centre. The popular Stannary Town of Tavistock is approximately 7 miles distant

with high street shopping, supermarkets, historic town centre with its Pannier Market, primary and secondary education and

independent education at Mount Kelly. The open expanse of Dartmoor National Park is just beyond Tavistock and within easy

travelling distance. The river can also be accessed via nearby Calstock with trips by boat along the river to Plymouth. The

National Trust property of Cotehele lies about 4 miles distant. Also nearby is the Kit Hill country park lying less than 2 miles

away.

DESCRIPTION

This comfortable family home has a bright contemporary style and feel after being extended and modified by the current

owners with great flare and who have developed the building from the original bungalow including installing a superb first

floor master bedroom suite with two balconies, ensuite bathroom and dressing room as well as far reaching views, and

installation of a contemporary family bathroom with underfloor heating, stylish kitchen/ dining room, opening through to

sitting room with fireplace, doors out to the decked terrace and also with remotely operated mood lighting. There is extensive

use of downlighters and dimmer switches throughout and the property is also double glazed throughout and heated via oil

fired central heating and hot water.

Outside the high double wooden gates give access to the gravelled drive leading past the house to parking, garage and

stables, into the stable yard past a garden area and chicken run. A wooden garage is currently used as a store and a former

double wooden garage is now set up as a games room with power and light and may also offer potential as a home office

subject to any necessary consents. A gate from the drive leads into a concreted stable yard with seven purpose built stables,

bale store and secure tack and feed rooms. A further gate beyond leads through the floodlit sand school and to an access

lane leading down to a further garden area with vegetable and fruit garden as well as an orchard and to two enclosed

paddocks and a larger field at the end of the land gently sloping down to an area of woodland on the Western boundary.

There are excellent equestrian facilities which are complimented by excellent local equestrian opportunities with events

regularly held at Duchy College as well as riding on Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor as well as the local lanes and through Duchy
