Filham, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21

A substantial semi-detached barn conversion boasting reverse-level accommodation presented to a fantastic standard throughout, set in a sizeable plot with expansive gardens located in the tucked away Filham area of Ivybridge

DESCRIPTION
Crofters Court consists of two semi-detached barn conversions which were thoughtfully converted some years ago into a pair of spacious family homes filled with period charm and character. Number two boasts an interesting reverse-level layout with living accommodation on the first floor and bedrooms below, however the property does benefit from multiple entranceways; either on the ground floor or via an external stone staircase to the first floor.

Upon entry to the property via the ground floor entrance, a welcoming hallway greets you and directly in front is the staircase rising to the first floor. To your right steps lead up to the master bedroom suite, a superbly sized double room which also boasts a recently upgraded en-suite shower room and dressing room combined. Next to the master is bedroom three, the smallest of the three rooms but still a sizeable double which also boasts access to a large understairs storage cupboard. Back across the hallway is bedroom two, technically the largest of the bedrooms, this large room enjoys two windows to the front allowing for extra light and provides space for large furniture. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a tastefully upgraded family bathroom which enjoys underfloor heating, a free-standing rolled-top bath, toilet, basin and a walk-in shower cubicle.

Stairs lead up to the first floor and directly into an expansive open plan living room and dining room which is a wonderful feature of the home, with exposed timber beams and a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove. This large room provides space for a range of sizeable furniture and enjoys windows to the front and rear allowing for plenty of natural light. Double doors to the rear lead through to a multi-purpose room, being a garden room and utility area with fitted storage units and plumbing for a washing machine. Adjoining the main living space is a pretty farmhouse style kitchen comprising a range of wall and base units under a wooden worktop with butler sink and integrated appliances including dishwasher and cooker hood, alongside space for a large range cooker and a free-standing fridge/freezer. Finally just off of the kitchen is another reception room which is currently a cosy sitting room/snug with attractive exposed stone walls, a feature fireplace with multi-fuel burner and double doors leading to a private balcony to the side.

SITUATION
Situated in a tucked away corner position within the semi-rural area of Filham on the eastern edge of Ivybridge, the property is within a spot where property is rarely available. Most notably, this part of Filham is just a few moments from Filham Park, a large open area which is popular with local dog walkers, nature enthusiasts and walkers. Also positioned on the eastern edge of Ivybridge is Ivybridge Train Station that links the town with the nearby city of Plymouth, as well as other cities across the South West and London Paddington. Ivybridge is a vibrant town with a real sense of community. It’s bustling high street provides a vast array of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and other facilities; alongside sporting facilities at either Ivybridge Leisure Centre or Macauleys Gym and Golf Club at Dinnaton—both of which boast indoor swimming pools and fully equipped gyms. Regular bus services operate along Exeter Road and the area is served by a range popular local primary schools and Ivybridge Community College is a well renowned secondary school.

OUTSIDE
Sitting in a sizeable plot in a tucked away corner position, the property enjoys plenty of outdoor space which wraps around the home and provides a number of areas to enjoy. Approaching the property from the front is a large private driveway which provides off-road parking for a number of vehicles and beyond this is a large detached double garage with electric roller door and storage space above. There is a pretty front garden area which consists of an attractive patio seating area and is bordered by mature plants and bushes. A large wooden gate provides access to the side of the property where a gravelled area provides even more parking if needed but also gives access to the rear garden and the side door to the garage. The rear garden is accessed via the garden room on the first floor and there is an initial paved patio seating area with a pretty covered seating area with pergola sitting next to a large pond. Beyond this is a gently sloping lawned garden that is bordered by an assortment of plants and bushes, a stone chipped walkway runs alongside the lawn and leads to an area of woodland at the very end of the plot which is included with the sale. Lastly within the rear garden is a timber-built structure which is currently used for storage, however offers great potential for a home office or small annexe with two useable rooms fitted with power and light.
