5-Bed Detached Home With Moorland Access

Moorlands is a beautifully presented, substantial five-bedroom detached family home offering the perfect balance of moorland living and town convenience. Nestled behind a secure gated entrance, this impressive residence seamlessly blends exceptional proportions with forward-thinking eco-credentials.

Upon entering through the welcoming porch, you are greeted by a generous and elegant entrance hall featuring rich wooden floors and a wide staircase that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Bathed in natural light, the ground floor flows effortlessly from one inviting space to the next, illuminated by spotlighting with dimming controls to set the perfect ambiance for any occasion. The heart of the home is the expansive, open-plan living kitchen. Designed as a social hub for everyday living and large-scale entertaining, the room features underfloor heating, granite worktops, induction hob, oven and grill, and an integrated double fridge freezer. A traditional wood burner acts as a wonderful, cosy focal point. The room opens into a garden-facing conservatory. Equipped with its own underfloor heating and patio doors, the conservatory serves as a dining and sitting area that blurs the line between the indoors and grounds outside. Practicality is equally well-considered, and a separate utility room packed with inbuilt storage, sink, washing machine space, and a dedicated side entrance for muddy boots after a day on the moors. Leading on is a multi-aspect formal dining room to the front framed by mature trees or used as a flexible home office or snug. For convenience, tucked away at the end of the hallway is the all important downstairs WC.

Moving upstairs, the elegant landing serves five well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is a self-contained sanctuary, boasting patio doors that lead onto a private glazed balcony with elevated views over the south-facing garden. This room is further enhanced by a large, double-sided walk-in dressing room and a beautifully appointed en-suite complete with a deep bath, a large separate shower, and premium fixtures. A second generous guest bedroom enjoys its own private en-suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms share a large family bathroom which neatly houses the efficient Worcester boiler and pressurised hot water system.

Externally, Moorlands is entirely geared toward modern self-sufficiency and country convenience. The rear of the property plays host to 24 high-efficiency solar panels paired with a sophisticated storage network comprising three 10kw batteries for the main house and EV car charger. Fully linked to the national grid, this system drastically offsets running costs while paying a steady income back to the household. All stored in a large double garage with an electric up-and-over door, an integrated workshop area with extensive storage above.

The property sits centrally within its secure plot, fronted by a large, gated driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, the large, south-facing gardens act as a natural suntrap, enjoying optimum sunlight throughout the day and offering an ideal patio area for dining. A highly unique and enviable feature is the private rear gate, providing immediate, direct access onto Whitchurch Down and the wider Dartmoor National Park.

Moorlands is a short walk to the attractive market town of Tavistock. The town offers excellent shopping and recreational facilities including swimming pools, gyms, five supermarkets, and local specialist shops. Excellent schooling is close by, including the renowned Mount Kelly School (ages 3 to 18), Tavistock College, and highly regarded local primary schools. Dartmoor National Park is famous for its diverse countryside and sporting facilities, particularly cycling. For broader commuting, Plymouth is approximately 15 miles away (offering four world-class marinas) and Exeter is about 40 miles away via the A30.
