Consequently, the business enjoys a consistent year round trade serving the local community.

It is on the borders of a Unesco World Heritage Site and is designated as  an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a local railway station which forms part of the Tamar Valley line, connecting to the waterside villages of Bere Ferrers and Calstock and then running on to the major South Devon city of Plymouth. There are several shops including a Post Office stores, local bakery, Co-op supermarket, butcher, hairdressers, pharmacy, doctor’s surgery, primary school and public house. The village is 15 minutes by car from both Tavistock and Yelverton and approximately 35 minutes from Plymouth. The surrounding fields are peppered with public footpaths which are good for walks and views of the Tamar River and beautiful countryside. The Bere Peninsula is formed by the rivers Tavy and Tamar which create a special, secluded area steeped in history which in years gone by was a prosperous mining area famous for its silver and lead.

The property itself is detached and appears to be of stone construction with rendered and painted elevations under a pitched slate roof. It sits on an ancient spring and in the past was used as a library and reading room, a small bistro, before in more recent times being converted to a takeaway. It comprises a takeaway section to the front with kitchen, preparation area, staff WC and small yard to the rear. An early viewing appointment is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the location, appeal and undoubted future trading potential of this well established catering concern.
