Description

This impressive Victorian Villa, showcasing nearly 3000 sq ft of living space, boasts five bedrooms and three reception rooms. Set within approximately an acre of gardens, it also offers the unique advantage of planning permission for an additional dwelling on the site. Located in the charming village of Lydford on the edge of Dartmoor, this property enjoys a prime position with convenient access to local amenities including a public house and primary school, as well as scenic walking and cycling routes around Lydford Gorge. Originally built for a senior executive of the South Devon and Tavistock Railway, Rossmoyne features a private driveway leading up to a grand entrance porch adorned with stylish bay windows that flood the interior with natural light. While currently spacious and inviting for family living, this residence presents significant opportunities for renovation and modernization according to personal taste. The extensive gardens host several outbuildings, one of which has already secured planning permission for conversion to create an additional home—ideal for rental income or accommodating extended family. With its historical charm and potential for enhancement, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity in a desirable location near Dartmoor's natural beauty. An inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate its possibilities.
