Location
The property is set within the rural hamlet of Dunterton overlooking the Parish Church. Dunterton is approximately 9 miles from the market town of Tavistock in West Devon. Once a stannary town and home to Sir Francis Drake, Tavistock is situated on the River Tavy and set on the fringes of Dartmoor National Park. Within the town centre is the ancient pannier market and Meadowlands Park with swimming pool and tennis courts. Also Tavistock Wharf, a venue for cultural events, cinema and arts.
Approximately 5.5 miles to the north of the property is the historic town of Launceston set on the A30 dual carriageway spine road for Cornwall and Devon. The city of Exeter (46 miles) to the east provides
Intercity Rail Link, International Airport and M5 motorway link. The city of Plymouth (23 miles) to the south provides Intercity Rail link and Continental Ferry Port.
In all directions of the property there is scenery of outstanding natural beauty. To the north is rugged coastline famed for popular family surfing beaches and picturesque former fishing villages. The open expanses of Bodmin Moor are to the west, ideal for walking and riding. Dartmoor National Park is to the east and running southwards to Plymouth Sound with all its yachting facilities is the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history and renowned for salmon fishing.
