Venn House is a magnificent Grade II (*) Listed country residence, set in this delightful semi-rural position just a short drive from the market town of Tavistock. The Property, dating originally from the 17th century, with further work completed in the 19th century, provides almost 7000 square feet of accommodation and until recently served as a residential care home.
The Property features a highly attractive frontage, with arched windows and a turret tower standing over the immaculate gardens. Inside, there is a wealth of ground floor reception rooms with a variety of period features, including one original fireplace, dating from 1635. There is also a kitchen, an office, and a utility room with separate entrances. The current dining room is fitted with an Aga.
Upstairs there are nine generous bedrooms, five of which have en suite cloak rooms, while three include en suite shower rooms, including the main bedroom. One additional bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there is also a further large family bathroom.
This fine period home offers a wealth of character that is in need of considerable modernisation and we believe has the opportunity to make a stunning family home or subject to any necessary consents, a business / conversion opportunity.
Rights of Way: We understand from the current owner that there is a right of way over the Property for nearby owners / residents. Please enquire for further information.
