Corntown, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21

Offered for sale with no onward chain for the first time in over 50 years, this attractive slate-fronted cottage sits in a sizeable corner plot with wrap around level gardens and is surrounded by local countryside; enjoying views from every window.

DESCRIPTION
Approaching this attractive rural home via a private gated entrance, the house appears amongst pretty level gardens with an assortment of mature plants and bushes, as well as trees providing a nice amount of shelter. At the front is an area of lawn which enjoys a westerly facing aspect capturing the evening sunshine; alongside is a path leading to the property and its two entranceways.

The front entrance is seldom used by the current owners, instead they make use of the rear entrance via a utility room/boot room. This useful space currently houses the oil-fired boiler and provides space for free-standing appliances including a washing machine and fridge/freezer. Just off of utility is a handy ground floor WC and then a door leads into a charming traditional kitchen/breakfast room. Reminiscent of a farmhouse kitchen, this spacious room enjoys a pretty dual aspect overlooking the front and side gardens, and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with spaces provided for a free-standing oven and fridge. There is a beautiful free-standing dresser which the sellers are kindly leaving with the property as it suits the style of the home so very well, adding extra storage. Just off of the kitchen is a shower room, complete with walk-in shower enclosure and basin. There is also a space in the shower room which the current owner has used for a tumble dryer. Next is a sizeable living room, a delightful space that enjoys a box bay window overlooking the rear gardens with a sunny westerly facing aspect. There is a focal fireplace in the living room and stairs rise from here to the first floor accommodation. An opening links this space with a formal dining room overlooking the front of the property, providing plenty of space for a large table and chairs.

On the first floor a central landing provides access to three bedrooms, all of generous double proportions, alongside a convenient WC. The bedrooms all enjoy pretty outlooks over the surrounding countryside and two are fitted with handy vanity units and fitted storage.

At the rear of the property is a delightful enclosed garden which enjoys an easterly facing aspect and is predominately laid to lawn and bordered by an assortment of attractive plants, bushes and flowering shrubs. Finally there is a larger-than-average single garage at the rear which presents a fantastic workshop space also.
