Dating back to 1880, ‘Pooh Corner‘ is in a prominent location at the heart of Whitchurch and is coming to the market for the first time in over fifty years. This four bedroom character property offers deceptively spacious accommodation whilst being well located close to the local Post Office, pub ‘The Whitchurch Inn‘, local primary school & nursery and open moorland. There are also good local transport links nearby to Plymouth and Yelverton, with Tavistock town centre and three supermarkets also within a walkable distance. This property benefits from no onward chain.
You enter the house to a good sized porch, then through an original stained glass door into a reception room, currently used as a formal dining room. This room was originally the local shop for Whitchurch known as ‘Crossways Stores‘ so has plenty of history, the old windows have now been filled in and make for great alcove shelving. Next is a superb sized sitting room, which was previously two rooms and has a log burner and dual aspect windows. Across the hallway is a cosy breakfast room with a large window overlooking the cottage style garden. There is a bright kitchen at the rear, owing to the dual aspect windows, with a rear lobby and utility room/downstairs WC completing the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two of which are large double rooms both benefitting from built in storage and some having pleasant views up to surrounding countryside. The two smaller bedrooms are still good sizes for single rooms, then there is a family bathroom which has a ball and claw foot bath with shower over.
Externally the gardens run the side width of the house, with gate access from both sides of the road. The main gardens have a green outlook as they are enclosed by mature hedging and are mostly laid to lawn with several large flower beds. A mature ‘Scotch Bridget‘ apple tree is the main focus of the garden, which has been regularly fruiting since the vendors bought the property in the 1960s. A path leads down to two wooden sheds, with steps taking you down to the tandem garage. There is ample parking in here for two cars with an area for wood storage as well. To the front of the house is a large raised border which sides on to the road.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
