Shaugh Prior, Plymouth, Devon, PL7

Introducing Glebe Cottage, a remarkable Grade II listed semi-detached cottage filled to the brim with period charm and character features, having a vast history within the local community as both a church house and post office. Having been sympathetically renovated by its current owners, the property presents an outstanding rural home within Dartmoor National Park.


DESCRIPTION
Upon entry into the property a stunning solid oak wooden door leads into a practical porch which provides seating to remove shoes and space for the storage of coats and shoes. Another door then leads into the living space, being one expansive open plan room which spans the entirety of the ground floor of Glebe Cottage. A feature wooden staircase sits centrally within the home and nicely divides the space into a cosy yet spacious sitting room at one end, with a large kitchen and dining area at the other. There are stunning wooden beams throughout the ground floor and multiple windows to the front with a sunny southerly facing aspect. The sitting room enjoys an attractive stone fireplace which is an excellent space for a wood-burner to be installed, alongside an delightful nook which is perfect as a reading corner. The large kitchen and dining space sits at the other end of the ground floor and has been beautifully renovated with a tasteful cottage style fitted kitchen comprising a range of wall and base units under solid wooden worktops. Within the kitchen is a Belfast sink, a fitted dishwasher and spaces for a free-standing range cooker and a fridge/freezer. Additionally a granite lined bread oven is set within the rear wall of the property, a fantastic historic feature of the property. A lovely sunny dining area sits next to a large window and is flooded with natural light, also boasting a gorgeous window seat.

On the first floor a long landing space provides access to the accommodation on this level, including three bedrooms, a utility room and the family bathroom. The master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect to the front and rear, stunning countryside views and provides space for a range of sizeable furniture. The two larger bedrooms also benefit from skylights allowing for a huge amount of natural light to fill the rooms. The smallest bedroom is currently arranged as an occasional bedroom and work space, benefitting from a fitted desk. On the landing the current owners have very cleverly created a large double opening cupboard which is their designated laundry space, housing both the washing machine and tumble dryer. Adjacent to the laundry space is the family bathroom which has also been tastefully upgraded and comprises corner bath with overhead shower, toilet and basin. Finally, at the very rear of the property is a useful boot room and storage space which provides access to the outside and houses the oil-fired boiler.

SITUATION
Glebe Cottage can be found in the centre of the sought after Dartmoor village of Shaugh Prior, a peaceful rural yet convenient setting close to the town of Plympton which offers a vast array of local amenities and services including bustling central shopping area known as ‘The Ridgeway’. Within Shaugh Prior is charming local pub known as ‘The White Thorn Inn’, which is locally run and extremely popular, alongside the Church of St Edward and the village hall which host numerous activities. Other popular local offerings include The Farmyard Café and The Moorland Hotel, along with Elfordleigh Hotel and Golf Course which offers excellent sporting facilities including a heated indoor pool and a fully equipped gym. A Tesco supermarket is just a short drive from the property at Roborough, offering convenient shopping, and Derriford Hospital is less than 20 minutes drive, or 30 minutes cycle, with access to the Plym Valley cycle trail close to the village. There are numerous footpaths leading from the village onto open moorland, perfect for those who enjoy the great outdoors.

OUTSIDE
Approaching Glebe Cottage from the road it is impossible not to admire the incredible craftmanship which was put into creating such an attractive stone-fronted cottage. A gate and a some steps lead to the main entrance and alongside is a superbly sunny patio area, a wonderful space to sit out and enjoy your morning coffee in the sun. Pretty planted areas border the patio and walled front garden, then at the rear of the property is a small courtyard area, an area of lawned garden which is where the septic tank can be accessed and a superb addition to the property being a single storey outbuilding with a slate roof which has been cleverly converted, insulated and heated to create a comfortable home office.

Opposite the property is a second sizeable outbuilding which the current owners use for the storage of bikes and other outdoor gear, and adjacent is a tidy bin store.

A somewhat unexpected addition, Glebe Cottage also boasts a somewhat unexpected addition being a separate garden and large garage located just a short walk from the property. The garden is level, southerly facing and predominately lawned with a fruit cage. The garage is a large single with wooden doors and beyond is a useful workshop/storage space.
