The village is served by a local bus service, and the village is enhanced with its own rail station with a daily service to Plymouth. The A30 at Sourton Cross to the North, or the A38 at Plymouth, both dual carriageways, facilitate rapid access to Exeter and the M5 motorway.

There are golf courses at Tavistock, Yelverton, Moretonhampstead, Okehampton, Saltash and St. Mellion, together with a golf driving range at Yelverton; there are ample opportunities for sailing and other watersports from a number of venues along the North and South Devon coasts, both within ¾ hours car journey.

DESCRIPTION

The property comprises a graceful house of 19th Century origins standing in an elevated position amidst extensive grounds with superb, uninterrupted views over the river Tamar valley.

This fine house was built in 1897 by a builder for his own occupation and is constructed predominantly of local stone, rendered externally with sash windows under a natural slate roof. In 1947 the house was extended in sympathy to the original design to provide a larger drawing room and a further bedroom and bathroom.

On the ground floor there is a delightful reception hall with doors to three well-proportioned reception rooms and to a rear lobby with access to the kitchen/breakfast room, boiler room and cloakroom.

An excellent mahogany and pine balustrade staircase rises to the first floor landing, off which there are six bedrooms, a bathroom, shower room and box room. Central heating is supplied by a boiler, whilst the hot water is supplied by the Rayburn in the kitchen, augmented by an immersion heater.

To the side of the house is a covered courtyard with a range of stores, whilst to the front is a double garage.

Adjacent to the drive is a detached, two-storey coach house constructed of stone under a slate roof, with planning permission for conversion to a holiday cottage.

Occupied by the same family since 1972, Three Corner Park retains much of the character and charm of the late 19th Century with well-proportioned rooms, ceiling cornices, panelled doors, fireplaces and shuttered windows. From a number of rooms there are exceptional views to the South over the river valley to traditional pastureland, woodland and Cotehele, the latter managed by the National Trust.

The property stands within superb gardens and grounds comprising sweeping lawns interspersed and bordered by a rich and colourful variety of ornamental trees and shrubs including beech, elm, magnolia, bay, chestnut etc.
