Description

The Old Rectory, a distinguished Georgian residence with roots dating back to around 1840, is situated in the quaint village of Mary Tavy. This expansive property boasts over 4,500 sq.ft of versatile living space that elegantly merges historical charm with modern functionality. The grand entrance hall leads to a galleried landing and a variety of reception rooms including a drawing room with dual aspects, a cozy study ideal for remote work, and a charming snug with access to the outdoor patio, all equipped with woodburning stoves. A formal dining room complements the substantial kitchen/breakfast area that may be configured into two separate kitchens if desired, featuring an Aga and ample dining space. On the first floor, you will find seven bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite complete with an en suite bathroom featuring both a freestanding tub and separate shower. The property also offers two additional family bathrooms. The exterior is equally impressive with its gravel driveway leading to generous parking spaces and access to a large barn—an excellent opportunity for conversion into additional living quarters or other developments pending necessary permissions. Surrounding the home is approximately 3.2 acres of landscaped gardens that provide serene patios, terraced areas, and mature greenery along with rolling meadows and a pond—a perfect canvas for those looking to enhance their outdoor living space further. Nestled in a tranquil rural setting on the outskirts of West Devon's Mary Tavy village yet conveniently close to Tavistock's amenities including shops, schools, and transport links such as the A30 and A386 make this property not just a home but an investment potential waiting to be realized.
