Mana Butts Cottages, Tavistock PL19 0JU

Imagine waking up each day to panoramic views that stretch across lush countryside and rolling moorlands. This extraordinary property, set within 0.75 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, offers not just a home but a tranquil lifestyle, perfectly balancing rural serenity with modern comforts, all just a stone's throw from the town's amenities.
As you arrive, a choice of entrances welcomes you. The original stone porch at the front whispers of the home’s storied past, while the rear entrance, leading directly from the expansive driveway, invites you into the heart of the home through a charming courtyard.

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a light-filled reception hallway, where the warmth of natural slate underfoot sets the tone for the rest of this inviting home. To your left, the sitting room beckons with its cosy ambiance, featuring a multi-fuel stove nestled within a slate and timber hearth—a perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring the nearby countryside. There is also a useful cloakroom for added practicality.

Venture further, and the home reveals its pièce de résistance: a spacious, sun-drenched kitchen and family room. This room is the soul of the home, where culinary creativity meets social gatherings. The kitchen’s generous layout includes a central island ideal for casual breakfasts or evening cocktails, all surrounded by stunning views from every angle. An electric Aga serves as both a functional appliance and a stylish centerpiece, with its trio of ovens ready to tackle anything from a simple supper to a festive feast.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a private retreat with two double bedrooms that boast views that could easily be mistaken for paintings. The master suite includes an en-suite shower and separate WC, while the second bedroom shares access to a luxurious family bathroom, where a clawfoot tub invites long, leisurely soaks.

On the top floor, two more double bedrooms provide peaceful hideaways, each offering its own unique perspective of the surrounding landscape. Whether used as guest rooms, home offices, or personal sanctuaries, these spaces are versatile and inviting.
For those seeking additional flexibility, ancillary accommodation above the garage offers endless possibilities. Accessed by external steps, this self-contained space could serve as an artist’s studio, home office or simply for friends and family to use whilst visiting. With its own bedroom/sitting area, modern kitchenette, and shower room, the options are limitless.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The gardens, well cared for, are a tapestry of color and texture, from luscious lawns to vibrant borders. A summerhouse, complete with electricity and benefiting from being fully insulated, provides a serene spot to take in the breathtaking Dartmoor views with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. To the rear, an enclosed courtyard leads to a garden store and potting shed, both wired and ready for your next project. Beyond lies a paddock, complete with a timber stable with an adjoining tack room with electricity and two storage sheds, complete with an outside tap.

This property isn’t just a place to live; it’s a place to thrive, offering a rare combination of scenic beauty, modern convenience, and boundless potential. This home offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the best that countryside living has to offer. Make it yours and let the adventure begin.
