About this property

Situated in the heart of Yelverton and county of Devon, is this traditional four-bedroom cottage, Troy. Standing at a generous size, the cottage can accommodate up to eight guests, offering an idyllic setting for a peaceful family trip to the South Coast. A sought-after private driveway, large enough to fit four cars, will welcome you, enveloped by well-kept greenery and blossoming gardens. On entering the cottage, hang up your belongings and kick off your boots before heading through to the homestyle sitting room, boasting a Devon slate gas fire, Smart TV, a selection of board games, and a choice of books for avid readers. Reaching the kitchen and the adjoining utility/storage area, you'll find all amenities to assist you with your self-catering requirements, certain to entice the budding chef of the family. Continuing to impress, reach the opulent dining room and its direct views into the rear garden, setting a fitting spot for family meals, a games night or even a performance on the piano. This floor is complete with a cloakroom, along with access to the enclosed wrap-around garden, both child and pet-friendly, perfect for a late-night barbeque or for peaceful relaxation surrounded by the essence of nature. Heading upstairs to large and bright bedrooms, be spoilt for choice by two king-size rooms with TV, ample storage, and adjoining lounge areas, one of which has an en-suite shower, along with two twin rooms and a family bathroom. As a base, Yelverton is well-connected, offering cycling and walking routes to nearby villages, along with ample choice for dine-out plans. For sunny days out, head over to Devil's Point Park, take in the crystal waters of Foggintor Quarry, or discover the elegant grounds of Elizabethan Gardens. To suit all ages and tastes, why not visit Dartmoor Zoo, Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary, or National Trust - Buckland Abbey, all offering a wealth of events, exhibitions, and activities to get involved with? To explore the surrounding county, visit Dartmoor National Park and the famous Pew Tor, tour Canonteign Falls and its natural waterfalls, or enjoy the tranquillity of Burrator Reservoir. Choose Troy as your abode for a relaxing family break in South Devon.

With great walking and cycling paths in the area, the charming village of Yelverton is an ideal location for exploring Dartmoor. The Drakes Trail, a 21-mile cycling and walking route that connects adjacent Tavistock and Plymouth via wooded valleys and open moorland, crosses through the village. Bicycles can also be rented in the village. The Drake Manor Inn and The Royal Oak, both in Yelverton, offer a friendly welcome and excellent locally sourced food. Buckland Abbey, The Garden House, and Burrator Reservoir are all close by. Day trips to Salcombe and Newton Ferrers, a lovely riverbank village in South Devon, are easy to come by. Plymouth's naval harbour, noted for its nautical heritage and the historic Barbican neighbourhood, with its narrow, cobblestone alleyways dotted with a superb range of restaurants and bars, is also conveniently accessible.
