Situation

The property is located in the centre of town on Russell Street.

Accommodation

Set within the very heart of Tavistock is this iconic, Grade 2 listed Georgian building with generous, well presented accommodation spread over four floors and extending to 3600 Sq ft.

The house; which had a brand new roof in 2025, benefits from an EPC 'C' (virtually unheard of for this age of property), South facing garden and gated parking for two cars... vital in the centre of town!

Inside has been sympathetically refurbished over recent years to retain its original character and charm, briefly comprising: Vestibule, grand reception hallway, re-fitted kitchen, sitting room, sun room, dining room with open fireplace, snug/breakfast room with log burning stove, utility and ground floor shower room. Five double bedrooms, master en-suite and another family bathroom.

A large cellar occupies the lower ground floor; this space is dry with ample head height so perfect for storage or conversion to office/workshop or additional living space (subject to any necessary consents).

The house was rewired in 2016, a new bouiler installed in 2020 and the new roof (2025) comes with a 15 year guarantee.
