Keyberry House is a beautiful elegant, detached Victorian villa of gracious proportions and fine internal details set in approximately ¾ acre of gardens which incorporate a converted coach house. Thought to date from the 1800s, this delightful country house boasts a host of unspoilt architectural detail of its era, including original joinery with high moulded skirting boards and picture rails, moulded panel and door frames.

Located on the southern edge of Tavistock, on the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park with its granite tors, heather clad moorland and wooded valleys bisected by rushing streams and rivers, perfect for riding and walking. The ancient stannary town, Tavistock, is a classic West Country market town and has a rich heritage that dates back well into the last millennium. Much of the modern day town centre was developed in the 19th century under the guidance of the 7th Duke of Bedford. Today, Tavistock is a thriving market town with an excellent range of shopping facilities and a full selection of local amenities, including pannier and farmers’ market, independent shops, restaurants, galleries and supermarkets. There are exceptional educational facilities in both the state and private sector.

The area provides an unrivalled quality of life for its lucky residents and sporting facilities in the area are excellent.  The beautiful South Devon coastline, with its estuaries, beaches and coastal walks is within easy reach. This part of Devon enjoys some of the finest sailing and water sports waters in the country. For golf enthusiasts there are excellent golf courses nearby at Yelverton, and Tavistock and St. Mellion. There are also opportunities to fish by arrangement on a number of local rivers, including the Walkham, Tavy and Tamar.

This exceptional property provides proof that classic and contemporary aesthetics can blend together seamlessly creating sophisticated living space encompassed within a practical and family home. The principal reception and bedrooms face to the south and east and enjoy fine views over the mature grounds and surrounding countryside

All the rooms are of grand proportions and today it is a much loved family home with traditional and classically laid out accommodation over two levels, with two further bedrooms in the converted loft space.  This spacious residence lends itself to a number of uses, primarily as a family home, with annexe facilities, or perhaps business use if desired, subject to any necessary approvals and is surrounded by lovely gardens, the whole plot measures almost ¾ of an acre.

Keyberry House has been refurbished and extended in the current term of ownership, to include ancillary accommodation.  Today it creates a most impressive seven bedroom family home with a one bedroom flat above the double garage. The house is in excellent decorative order and is presented to a particularly high standard.

The impressive accommodation is light with the main reception rooms circulating around the central reception and informal dining hall with its sweeping galleried staircase. The large kitchen is particularly appealing and will suit budding chefs and opens directly into the gardens.
