DESCRIPTION

Superbly positioned on the rural fringe of Ivybridge, the site offers an ideal prospect for a self-builder or small developer to create a bespoke rural family home with excellent access to Ivybridge town centre and its wide range of local amenities.

SITUATION
Ivybridge, often referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Moors’, is set on the foothills of Dartmoor National Park and is a popular and convenient place to live. Its excellent transport links include close proximity to the A38 dual carriageway, providing easy access to Plymouth to the west and the M5 at Exeter to the east.
The town offers a wealth of amenities, with most shops and services centred around Fore Street and Glanville’s Mill, the main shopping centre. Residents can enjoy a variety of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, as well as scenic walks along the River Erme which winds through the town centre.
Ivybridge also benefits from a well-equipped leisure centre with a gym, public swimming pool, and squash courts. The area is well served by local schools, with Ivybridge Community College being a highly regarded secondary school.

From the A38 eastbound, take the Ivybridge exit and proceed to the roundabout, taking the fifth exit. Continue for 0.3 miles, turning left just before the slip road towards Westlake. Proceed for 0.7 miles to Marjery Cross, where you turn left shortly after passing Cleeve Equestrian. Continue for a further 0.7 miles, then turn left onto Keaton Lane. After 0.3 miles, the property will be situated on the left-hand side, identified by a GTH “For Sale” board.
