Guide Price £575,000 - £595,000
A home with a true wow factor. This semi-detached property has undergone a programme of modernisation and extension works to create the fabulous home it is today.


Once a traditional Victorian cottage this stunning property has come a very long way from what it once was. Now offering a family home with spacious and versatile accommodation, the property retains its period charm which has been expertly blended with modern fixtures and fittings throughout.

A striking timber-framed extension to the side has substantially increased the overall footprint of this home and includes the addition of a feature kitchen, dining and living space with a fantastic outlook over the neighbouring countryside. Exposed timber beams can be seen throughout both the original cottage and the modern extension and the property has also benefitted from modern double glazing throughout and is centrally heated with under-floor heating across the ground floor and in the two bathrooms, with radiators serving the upstairs accommodation. Having been designed with efficiency in mind, the central heating is powered by an air source heat pump which draws heat from the environment, regardless of the weather, and transforms it into heating.

Upon entry into the property you are greeted by a useful entrance porch with space to hang coats and store shoes. An opening leads from the porch into a room which is the true heart of the home, an expansive open plan kitchen, dining and living space. This impressive room boasts slate flooring throughout, bi-folding doors to the rear garden and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances breakfast bar. This main entertaining space also houses a key feature of the home - an impressive steel and timber built staircase rising to the first floor. Moving from the new addition into the original Victorian part of the home, there is a cosy formal sitting room with wood-burning stove. An opening leads from the sitting room to another useful space which is currently a home office/play room. From the office a door leads into a utility room which also doubles up as a ground floor cloakroom/WC.

Climbing the feature staircase to the first floor there is an initial galleried landing which overlooks entrance area and gives access into the first floor accommodation. Found within the modern extension is the master bedroom suite, including a stunning bedroom with exposed timber beams and a Juliet balcony taking full advantage of the countryside views. Also within the master suite is a dressing room/walk-in-wardobe and a modern en-suite shower room. The family bathroom can also be found in the modern extension and has been superbly designed with a free-standing bath and a feature window allowing for the stunning views to be appreciated even whilst enjoying a hot bath. Moving back into the original portion of the house, two further bedrooms can be found which are both of double proportions and benefit from useful storage cupboards.

Venton is a peaceful and convenient little hamlet, nestled amongst local farmland but also just a few moments drive from nearby Plympton where most local amenities can be found. Located nearby in the village of Hemerdon, The Miner's Arms is a well regarded local pub and restaurant. Bus links operate through Plympton giving access into Plymouth and other areas across the city. Venton is also served by local schools, including Sparkwell All Saints Primary School in the neighbouring village of Sparkwell, along with both Ivybridge Community College and Plympton Acadamy as the nearest secondary schools.

Occupying a nicely sized plot, the property is approached from the front by a gravel driveway providing useful off-road parking. Alongside the driveway is a lawned garden area, a patio seating area and an area for planting including a greenhouse. The lawn wraps around to the side of the property where a single detached garage can be found. At the rear there is another generous patio area which truly makes the most of the countryside views and can be accessed from the dining area through bi-folding doors.
