Enjoying a commanding and elevated position within the ever popular village of Bishops Tawton, this late Art Deco period house would have been a property of some importance when first built. Today, Benbridge House offers the chance to modernise and, with the substantial loft, to extend and grow (stp). The house has been a home to a local family for decades, and offers well proportioned gas centrally heated accommodation comprising a welcoming central entrance hall with original tiled floor and doors leading off to two reception rooms, both benefitting from a pleasant outlook. To the rear is the kitchen / breakfast room with range of wood fronted cupboards and drawers. There is a third reception room (originally the kitchen/dairy room) which now requires a little maintenance and will make a useful additional space. A useful utility room with WC rounds out the ground floor. On the first floor is a semi-galleried landing with window overlooking the rear garden and fields beyond. The three bedrooms are all spacious, the two front facing bedrooms enjoying particularly good views incorporating Tawstock Castle into the panorama. The larger than average bathroom (likely to have originally been the fourth bedroom) offers a panelled bath, separate shower unit, vanity sink and WC.

Outside
The property is approached over a driveway with a shared right of access and leads off into a spacious parking area that could easily accommodate four to five cars. The front gardens are laid to lawn behind an attractive low stone wall with wrought iron fencing. The rear gardens were used for many years as productive fruit and vegetable gardens and an incoming purchaser has the opportunity to lay turf, patio or continue with market garden – or a combination of all three! There is an attractive patio seating area within the garden enjoying a sunny aspect. A particular feature is the two storey outbuilding, the upper floor arranged as a shed/workshop and the lower built originally as a garage. This charming building could lend itself to all kinds of imaginative adaptations including gym, studio or Airbnb (stp).
