KingWelcome to Fitzford Gate House, a simply stunning regal property in the centre of the pretty west Devon town of Tavistock. Dating back to the 16th Century, Fitzford Gate House is a Grade II Listed building, beautifully and sympathetically restored and overlooked by the statue of Sir Francis Drake! The gatehouse sits in a prime location close to the centre of town, however the cleverly designed sunken garden and two foot thick walls ensure you will enjoy a peaceful holiday and the very best of 21st Century living.
As you enter Fitzford Gate House through the unique front door you will be captivated by the delights of this wonderful property. Contemporary features such as under-floor heating in the sunken living-room, designer lighting and a fabulous log-burner blend perfectly with the beautifully restored stonework, handcrafted banquet table and beamed ceilings. With natural tones and neutral colour scheme, this is the perfect place to relax and re-charge. The uber sleek fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast and has the luxury of an additional utility-area giving extra storage and a fridge/freezer and washing machine. The fabulous dining-area leads off the kitchen, ideal for socialising with family and friends.
At the end of a fun filled day, climb the tower stairs just like in a fairy tale and discover two first floor bedrooms, each with sumptuous king-size beds and crisp white bed linens. Between the two bedrooms sits a super stylish shower-room which would not look out of place in a five star hotel! Climb to the top of the tower and you will be greeted by the main en suite bedroom with fabulous features and the most delightful views over the rooftops of Tavistock.
Outside, Fitzford Gate House has a fabulous patio and garden area, perfect for morning coffee and al fresco dining using the all-important barbecue. Discover the best Devon has to offer, here is a property you will want to return to year after year.
Cyclists will be in heaven when they find out that 21 miles of Drake's cycling trail, linking Tavistock to the maritime city of Plymouth, starts literally outside the door. Dartmoor is close by and days can be spent discovering the beauty of the countryside. Over the road from Fitzford Gate House is Canal Park where you can walk along the side of the canal into town and enjoy the weekly market or perhaps one of the many eclectic shops, cafes or restaurants. Canal Park also offers lawn tennis, a play park and leisure centre, perfect at any time of year.
The popular coastal town of Bude is just a 30 minute drive away with plentiful eateries, pubs and cafes to explore. Head west along the coast and you will find Widemouth and Millook, a tucked-away pebble beach with an impressive geological cliff face. Head inland and you will discover beautiful Dartmoor and the ideal spot for walking, cycling or horse riding. Lifton is a lovely village just 15 minutes away where there's a wonderful pub, restaurant and delicatessen as well as the award-winning Strawberry Fields, which is a great place to pick up supplies.
