A superbly presented, impressive and iconic Grade II listed home in central Tavistock, close to the town's amenities.
Fitzford Gate House sits in the heart of Tavistock, adjacent to the statue of Sir Francis Drake and is the sole surviving building of the Fitzford Manor Estate and dates back to the 16th century.
Having undergone an extensive restoration, this iconic, Grade II listed gate house is a Designated Heritage Asset and is now a stunning example of a detached home with Inside, again, much care has been taken to preserve the character and charm one would expect from a building such as this but with many modern home comforts such as underfloor heating and a lovely feature wood burner.
The impressive entrance with wooden gates and granite archway immediately sets the tone for what is to come and as you step through the front door the marriage of old and new blends seamlessly.
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is bright and spacious with an abundance of stunning features and beautifully restored stonework. The ground floor living accommodation is largely open plan through granite archways with each room having its own distinct identity. The well-equipped kitchen with solid granite, double Belfast sink is integrated with a range of appliances including a double oven, induction hob and Miele dishwasher. The adjoining utility room houses the laundry equipment and fridge/freezer.
Beyond the kitchen is a fabulous dining area with a large stone fireplace and lovely window seat from which to watch the world go by. A large granite archway leads through to a stunning living room with feature wood burning stove and French doors to the terrace and garden. Beyond this there is a ground floor shower room and coat / boot storage.
Stairs rise to the first floor which offers two, beautiful double bedrooms both of which have feature fireplaces, built in storage and one of which is dual aspect. Between the two bedrooms is a modern family shower room with a large walk-in shower.
The second floor offers the stunning principal bedroom suite. Being triple aspect, the room is filled with natural light and offers views over the rooftops of Tavistock and surrounding countryside. The vaulted ceiling and exposed beams give a wonderful feeling of space and again, all of the charm and character is beautifully blended with a generous, modern en suite bathroom with free standing bath and large walk-in shower.
Gardens and Grounds
Fitzford Gate House benefits from a lovely, enclosed rear terrace and garden which is the perfect spot for morning coffee or alfresco dining. To the front, there is also a level, lawned area with gravelled path leading to ample parking to the side.

What an absolute gem. I love this mini castle only 0.7 miles from the centre of Tavistock, what a rare gem!
