Bittaford, Ivybridge

An Olde English Dictionary indicates that the origin for Platt may possibly derive from an archaic word meaning both ‘flat’ or ‘plot’.

Description - Our property The Platt sits on a primarily level plot atop this quintessential village lane, taking in charming views of its surroundings. With a very attractive double gated entrance beckoning you in, a superb, detached bungalow awaits. The property boasts a very sociable vibe with a light and bright feeling to each room yet the log burner in the sitting room brings a cosy addition on those colder days. Internally 3 double bedrooms and lavish ensuite and separate shower room bring an individual sense of style throughout. The sleek, modern kitchen offers a range of integrated appliances and leads into the conservatory/dining room which has been fitted with an Air-Exchange system making this fantastic space useable all year round. A very special feature of The Platt lies in the garden where a large sun terrace is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of its southerly aspect; sitting here one can immerse themselves into countryside sights and sounds, especially with the babbling moorland brook trundling below you (accessed via steps) and reminding you of how special this home’s unique position truly is. Viewings are highly recommended.
