Old Laira Road, Laira, Plymouth, Devon PL3 EXCITING RENOVATION PROJECT

Bring your toolbox and creative vision when you step inside this extremely unique residence in Laira. Perfectly positioned for ease of access to the A38, this property offers versatile accommodation which can be adapted to meet your needs.

328 Old Laira Road has been a much-loved family home for many years, a house with roots and stories that is truly one of a kind. The property offers two large reception rooms, four bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. The property is bursting with character, an immense garden, and the real showstopper, which is the additional space that, in the past, has been used as a commercial premises but now offers endless possibilities. Whether you are looking for an annex, work from home space or even a self-contained apartment.

We access the property via the front courtyard which offers the potential for off road parking, this leads us to the uPVC front door giving way to the entrance vestibule. This is where we see the first glimpse of the character the house has to offer in the form of beautiful, tiled flooring. The glass pained wooden door that leads to the internal hallway. The accommodation briefly comprises of:

Entrance Hallway: Offering a large storage cupboard housing the domestic consumer unit.

Reception Room One: To the rear of the property is the first reception, a grand space boasting high ceilings, feature fireplace and picture rails along with a beautiful bay window complete with original wooden shutters framing a view of the rear garden and offering a ray of natural light. This room would make an epic lounge or formal dining space. 

Reception Room Two: Also, to the rear of the property the second reception room is impressive in size and character including a built-in wooden cupboard. A door leads to the rear garden; this would make a wonderful dining room allowing guests to wander into the garden on summer days. For larger families this could offer an additional living room. 

Kitchen: The modern fitted kitchen offers plenty of work top space and storage solutions include a pantry cupboard within the alcove. From here we can access the additional accommodation referred to later in this description. 

Stairs lead to the mezzanine landing where we can find the fourth bedroom.

Bedroom Four: A double room to the front elevation offers a fireplace and window, plenty of room for a double bed and furniture. This would also make a lovely home office or children?s playroom. 

The stairs sweep around and lead us to the first-floor landing where we can access the remaining accommodation:

Bedroom One: To the rear of the property, enjoying a far-reaching view over the garden?s flowers and trees is the main bedroom. A very large room with high ceilings and fireplace. 

Bedroom Two: Also, to the rear with a view over the garden towards the Plymouth Estuary and beyond to Staddon Heights. 

Bedroom Three: To the front elevation is the third double room with fireplace.

Bathroom: Three-piece suite comprising of bath with overhead shower facility, WC and wash hand basin along with the hot water heater and a window to the front elevation.

Additional Accommodation: Accessible via the kitchen but also offering it's own front door to the front of the property is the former shop and enclosed courtyard with WC. This space, which is currently used for storage, offers three rooms with a water supply and power. The main room offers a window and door leading to the road. In the past this has been a local store and could, with the relevant planning permission, be restored to a commercial premises. Other optional uses include an annex for extended family or teenagers, a self-contained apartment (subject to planning permission) air B&B or home office. Alternatively, this space can be incorporated into the main building turning an already very large and unique family home into something even more extraordinary. 

Externally, the property has a hidden surprise, unexpected for the area, is the vast rear garden. Offering a wonderful array of seasonal flowers, mature trees, vegetable patch and green house. The garden is also accessible from the front of the property via the service passage, this offers additional storage for garden tools and bins. Keen gardeners will be in their element tending to this land giving TLC and restoring to an oasis. A view over Plymouth Estuary from the patio area is crying out to be enjoyed on a summer evening with a gin and tonic along with home grown crops for dinner. 

Other benefits include the ease of access to the A38 towards Exeter and Cornwall perfect for commuters and those who like to explore the Cornish Coastline. Laira is home to highly regarded primary and secondary schools and is on a bus route to Plymouth town centre. Nearby you will find several local amenities including shops, GP Surgery and a Pharmacy. 

The team at Glad Stones were completely taken away by the sheer potential of this property. Whilst you will require some creative vision and not be afraid to pull up your sleeves to get the work done, we are certain the result will be extremely worth it!
