This early Victorian country house, constructed in 1850, presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to invest in a property steeped in history and character. Nestled within serene grounds that include a traditional walled garden and paddocks, the property offers extensive potential for renovation or development, pending necessary permissions. The grand Victorian exterior features a striking slate roof and classic sash windows, making an immediate impact. Entering through a charming pagoda-style porch adorned with detailed latticework, you'll find original flagstone flooring that flows through key areas of the home. The interior boasts three well-sized reception rooms, each enhancing its period charm with tall ceilings and authentic fireplaces - the drawing room featuring a log burner provides a warm focal point perfect for winter evenings. The kitchen retains its farmhouse essence with traditional cabinetry and solid wood worktops, though modern updates could elevate its functionality. On the upper level, four bedrooms are strategically positioned; two feature double sizes with lovely views and open fireplaces, while an additional bedroom serves as a study space.
The property's elevated location along a private road adds to its appeal, offering picturesque views from its front terrace over lush lawns and rolling countryside. Complementing the main residence are various outbuildings including a Grade II listed barn that dates back to 1818, making it ideal for repurposing into holiday lets or other ventures subject to planning consent. Situated within Elmgate in the Tamar Valley National Landscape, this property is just minutes from Saltash's amenities and transport links to Plymouth and Devon – making it both secluded yet accessible. The surrounding area promises outdoor activities ranging from walking trails to access to Dartmoor’s dramatic moorland landscapes.
