Fore Street, Plympton St Maurice

A truly exceptional Grade II Listed Georgian town house packed with period features throughout the light and spacious accommodation.  The property has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment program to create a wonderful family home, full of character and interest, which still allows for modern living with a substantial garage, utility room and potential for a home office.

From the Lounge, a striking wooden spiral staircase rises to the First Floor Dining Room which has two multi paned sash bay windows to the front, a beautiful carved marble feature fireplace with open grate (in use) on a slate hearth and a gas point, decorative ceiling rose and cast iron radiators.  Wooden bi-fold doors across the whole width of the room open up with two steps down into the Sitting Room, which is a truly spectacular living space with an abundance of natural light from skylights and multi paned windows to the side.  Gorgeous decorative beams adorn the vaulted ceiling, complemented by stripped wooden floorboards.  An open doorway with oak lintel and granite quoins leads to the secondary staircase back to the ground floor, in addition to steps leading up to the Kitchen, which has a skylight and multi paned half glazed door to the side.  Freestanding wooden kitchen units and wall mounted cupboards provide storage with wooden work surfaces incorporating a 1½ bowl Cooke and Lewis sink unit with mixer tap, Smeg range cooker with six-ring gas hob, space for a dishwasher and a breakfast bar, in addition to exposed beams to the vaulted ceiling and stripped wooden floorboards.  One step leads up to the Utility Room which is a generous space with skylights to both sides, terracotta tiled floor, and freestanding wooden unit with wooden work surfaces over and cupboards and drawers under incorporating a stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, space for washing machine, tumble dryer and American-style fridge freezer.  A wooden stable door with decorative brass door knocker leads outside.

The wooden spiral staircase continues up from the dining room and leads to Bedroom 1, which is a stunning room with a multi paned window to the front, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and built-in wardrobe cupboards to either side of the chimney breast.  A wooden door leads to the En-Suite Shower Room which is fitted with a fully tiled shower cubicle, pedestal hand basin with splashback tiling, shelf and mirror over, and an eaves storage cupboard.

To the immediate rear of the house, and accessed from the utility room, two steps lead down to the rear courtyard, which has raised flower beds bounded by low stone walls and well stocked with a variety of mature plants including roses, wisteria and euphorbia.  Two steps then lead down to the main courtyard garden, which is a truly lovely area providing a wonderful place for al fresco dining and entertaining with walled perimeters and a raised stone-walled pond planted with marsh marigold and Egyptian reed.  In addition, there is a useful storage shed, raised borders with mature fig and birch trees and decorative wall panels.  A bridge provides access to the kitchen, crossing over the side passage which is a useful storage area and leads into the Boot Room.

The excellent Garage is approximately four car lengths, providing ample space for a workshop and secure storage of cars, bikes, kayaks, etc. with power and light.  Double doors to the front open onto School Lane with additional space to park in front, and there are three windows to the side and a pedestrian door leading to the rear courtyard.
