CHARMING 17TH CENTURY COUNTRY FREE HOUSE

The Blacksmith Arms is located adjacent to the B3362 in the heart of the popular village of Lamerton, some 4 miles to the north-west of the major market town of Tavistock and around 11 miles south-east of the historic town of Launceston, close to the border between Devon and Cornwall.

Lamerton is a popular and sought after village and parish, serving as a commuter area to the towns of Tavistock and Launceston, as well as the major city of Plymouth, which lies some 18 miles or so to the south.  The village lies on the western fringes of the Dartmoor National Park, with its wild open moorlands, deep river valleys, forests and rare wildlife.  The area has a strong agricultural community with rolling fields and countryside, particularly connected with equestrian activities.  Whilst located in a lovely rural location, access to the A38 and A30 primary trunk routes is within easy motoring distance to the north and south, which provides further access thereafter to the M5 motorway to the east of Exeter.  The village has its own local primary school, a thriving village hall and, of course, this popular public house.  There is a bus service to the market town of Tavistock which, in turn, offers a full varied range of local amenities and facilities.

The property is detached and originally believed to date back to the 17^th century but has had some more recent extensions added to the side and rear.  Constructed over two floors, the ground floor area provides bar, dining and functions facilities, together with kitchen, store and service rooms, etc.  In turn, the first floor provides spacious and versatile private living accommodation with five to six bedrooms.  The property has been extensively renovated and refurbished by the present owners and provides charming ‘olde worlde’ trading areas, complemented by the large owner’s accommodation.  In addition, there is a pretty trade garden to the side with large customer car park, outside beer cellar and freezer room.  An early viewing appointment is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, charm and appeal of this highly popular country free house.
