Description

SITUATION Fairview is situated in the highly desirable village of Downgate, which is in turn only two miles to the north-east of Callington, 10 miles from the historic town of Tavistock in West Devon, and 16 miles from Plymouth City centre which is therefore within commuting distance via the Tamar Bridge at Saltash. There are local shopping facilities in the nearby village of Kelly Bray (one mile) and a Parish Church, post office/general stores and primary school of repute at Stoke Climsland which is also within a mile of Downgate. The larger town of Callington caters for most other day to day needs including senior schools and modern medical centre. The Kit Hill Country Park is also within 0.5 mile, providing many bracing walks, panoramic views and landmarks of historic interest. There are also many sporting and recreational facilities available in the Callington area, as well as nearby golf courses at Launceston, Tavistock and St. Mellion.

DIRECTIONS From Callington take the main Tavistock road for one mile, and turn left where Kit Hill is signposted. Continue to the next crossroads (Monks Cross) and turn left. Follow this road for another 0.25 mile and turn right where Downgate is signposted. Drop down into the village and Fairview will be found on the right hand side.

DESCRIPTION The property comprises a superior detached executive style modern residence, believed to have been built in the early 1980's to individual architect design. Inside, the extensive living accommodation affords rooms of generous size, which can be adapted to suit the needs of the eventual purchasers. In addition to the separate lounge and dining room, there is a family room which can also be used as a double fifth bedroom if required. There is also a separate kitchen and utility room, as well as a shower room/W.C. on the ground floor. The first floor accommodates three bedrooms as well as a luxurious bathroom with a 5-piece matching suite, featuring a corner air bath and separate shower cubicle. Central heating is supplied by mains gas, and all the windows are timber framed double glazed.

Outside, the gardens are an absolute delight, with shaped lawns to both front and rear, featuring a profusion of established and colourful shrubs and small trees, as illustrated by the photographs which form part of these particulars. The site backs onto open farmland, and the dwelling also takes advantage of an attractive country outlook.
