The property also benefits from a sleek shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, providing a refreshing space to prepare for the day ahead. Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a calm spot to enjoy the Devonshire sunshine and views across the Dartmoor National Park.

With a patio, lawn, and outdoor furniture, it's the perfect place for alfresco dining or simply relaxing with a good book. Situated in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Tamar Valley National Landscape offers a wealth of attractions close by. Within a couple of hundred yards are the Tamar Trails the route of the original light railway carrying the ore from Devon Great Console and Bedford mines to Morewellham Quay. On Dartmoor horse riding lessons are available to explore the beautiful location. Venture to the nearby historic market town of Tavistock, where the bustling Tavistock Pannier Market offers a wealth of locally sourced produce and handmade crafts.

Absorb the tranquillity and scenic beauty of The Meadows in Tavistock Park, set alongside the flowing river. A short drive away, you'll find the vibrant city of Plymouth, where sea lovers can delve into a world of marine life at the National Marine Aquarium or explore the Royal William Yard, a hub of culture and gourmet restaurants housed in Grade I Listed military buildings. Complete your trip with a visit to the impressive Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, boasting expansive woodland walks, a historic house to explore, and gorgeous views over Plymouth Sound. Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or a blend of the two, The Coach House serves as the perfect base for your Devonshire getaway.

The small rural village of Gunnislake lies on the steeply wooded banks of the River Tamar. It has village pubs and a small selection of shops. Notably, the village sits at one end of the scenic Tamar Valley Railway - with regular services along the river bank to Plymouth. The area is perfect for exploring Dartmoor, the south and north coast beaches and the attractions of Cornwall’s far west. Close to hand, the Dartmoor town of Tavistock with its pannier market, pubs and restaurants is a must, as well as the popular fishing village of Calstock, renowned for its crafts and festivals, while the Donkey Sanctuary and Cotehele House and Gardens (NT) are just 10 minutes away. Enjoy a round of golf at St Mellion (8 miles), explore the restored Victorian mining village at Morwellham Quay (4 miles), search for otters and deer along the Tamar Valley footpath, visit the National Trust owned Lydford Gorge, or take a trip to the beach and picturesque harbour at Looe (25 miles) - there’s something for everyone. For something really different, why not ride the scenic Tamar Valley Railway into Plymouth and spend the day in the fabulous Marine Aquarium or strolling the historic Plymouth Hoe?
