SITUATION & DESCRIPTION

The property  is an imaginatively designed family home set in a mature area of the town with access to the town centre and close by the expanses of Whitchurch Down and Dartmoor. 

Built within the past year by a well known local builder, Dawn Lodge offers spacious accommodation with an interesting lay out on split levels, with large rooms for a modern house.  Underfloor heating on the ground floor is complemented by wood effect double glazing and many of the windows follow the roof line with several of the rooms being double or triple aspect.   Internally, inset ceiling lights can be found throughout and doors, skirting and architrave are of solid oak.   The kitchen is fitted with high gloss base and wall units with a composite work surface, integral microwave, fridge, double dishwashers, coffee machine, Mercury Range style cooker and many other features.   There is a central unit and breakfast bar.  On the ground floor there is a shower room with family bathroom on the first floor and three of the bedrooms have en-suite bath or shower rooms and all are furnished with contemporary fittings with fully tiled walls and floor.   On the lower ground floor there is a room which has been designed as gymnasium or cinema room but could have numerous other uses. 

There is a detached double garage with office over and ample parking in the brick paved driveway.   The gardens are level and enclosed, and there is mature beech tree in one corner.   From the living room doors lead to a raised decking area.  Viewing is advised to appreciate the size of this contemporary modern home.  

Tavistock is a thriving market town (voted best Market Town in 2003) situated on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park in West Devon.  It has good shopping facilities and a full range of state schools plus several public schools, including preparatory schools and a senior college.  Recreational facilities include golf courses, cricket, rugby, football and tennis clubs and all indoor sports.  Scenic walks abound.  Tavistock is approximately 15 miles from Plymouth where there is a civil airport offering regular internal and continental flights, a cross Channel ferry service to Roscoff, Brittany, and a British Rail Inter City service to London, Bristol and the North.
