SITUATION
Hunsdon Farmhouse occupies an enviable rural position, although is highly accessible to local services and road networks, located approximately 2.5 miles southwest of Ivybridge. The town of Ivybridge offers a range of everyday shopping and banking facilities, as well as primary and secondary education services, with the larger city of Plymouth being located 12.5 miles west and providing a wide range of commercial services. Both Ivybridge, Plymouth and Exeter offer connection to mainline rail services to London and the national rail network. The A38 expressway provides connection to the M5 motorway at Exeter.

DESCRIPTION
The 16th/17th Century farmhouse comprises a Grade II listed detached character dwelling with private walled garden. The property has not been occupied for in excess of 40 years, affording the purchaser a unique opportunity to sympathetically modernise a building of historic value to their own taste. Of a traditional rubble stone construction with granite mullion windows under a slated pitched roof, the property benefits from various character features throughout, with a spiralling staircase that stands beneath a splayed roof. To the rear of the property is a fully enclosed walled garden offering space for secure and discrete amenity space. Whilst the property is in need of substantial renovation and modernisation, the dwelling offers an abundance of scope to create a remarkable home.

Guide Price: An indication of the seller’s current minimum price at auction. The guide price of range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

Reserve Price: The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
