Heathfield, Tavistock, Devon, Pl19

This superb smallholding offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle with excellent access to Tavistock, Okehampton, and wider Devon and Cornwall. Set within just over five acres, the property is approached via a long driveway leading to formal gardens, a garage, outbuildings, and an additional garage/workshop. The land gently slopes from the west, revealing a detached bungalow with a large front conservatory that invites curiosity and charm.

Inside, the bungalow is accessed through the conservatory and opens into a central dining area, which leads to a hallway connecting the remaining rooms. Two bedrooms, one of which could serve well as a study, are accessible from the dining room. The hallway provides access to a generously sized kitchen/diner, the main bedroom, and a spacious living room. A bathroom is located at the end of the hallway with a rear exit. While the interior would benefit from updating or remodelling, the existing layout—covering approximately 113 square metres (1222 square feet)—offers a solid foundation. There is significant potential to extend or reconfigure the space, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Outside, the gardens and paddock present a blend of practicality and beauty. The tarmac driveway curves around to provide access to two garages and ample parking for multiple vehicles, trailers, motorhomes, or horse boxes. The formal gardens, enclosed by hedges, feature level lawns, a small orchard, and areas ideal for reviving a vegetable plot and fruit trees. Outbuildings include a powered garage/workshop, a block-built garage with double doors, timber garden sheds, and a coal store. The layout offers the possibility to expand the driveway and parking area further for direct paddock access.

The paddock itself, approximately 4.5 acres, is enclosed and gently sloping, making it ideal for equestrian use. With the appropriate consents, it could accommodate stables, tack rooms, an American barn, or additional buildings. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a manageable rural retreat with versatile land use options, while still staying well-connected.

Please be aware that the property is adjacent to an active scrap metal merchant and industrial estate, where operational noise may be experienced during normal business hours. Although the activity is not prominently visible from the property, prospective buyers should consider this as part of their viewing. For more details or to arrange a visit, contact the estate agent.
