Summary - A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious & characterful home in the sought-after Earls Acre, tucked away along a quiet private road with a surprisingly semi-rural feel, yet within easy walking distance of the city centre, railway station, university, Plymouth College & Devonport High School.

Occupying a position in the centre of a terrace of just 6 properties, the homes date originally from the early 1900s, although this particular property was substantially rebuilt after the 2nd World War damage circa 1955 in a sympathetic period style. Generously proportioned throughout, the property is further distinguished by its private two-car driveway & uniquely within this terrace, a spacious integral garage.

The house has been considerably upgraded, improved & well maintained by the present owners, whilst retaining considerable character & charm. The accommodation is gas centrally heated, with a modern heating system & a boiler installed approximately 3 years ago.

A welcoming porch opens into a particularly wide reception hall, with a 3ft-wide staircase rising to the first floor. The large front-facing lounge leads through an archway into a spacious dining room, which in turn has a useful snug adjoining & patio doors opening onto the rear garden. There is a large modern fitted kitchen, while a substantial extension provides a modern shower room/WC together with a generous utility room, previously used as a study.

On the 1st floor, a long & unusually wide landing gives access to 4 good-sized double bedrooms, together with a modern fitted bathroom/WC. The accommodation provides excellent flexibility for family living, with generously sized rooms throughout.

Outside, the property benefits from a private driveway & front garden, while to the rear is a particularly delightful walled garden & courtyard, planted with a profusion of established specimen shrubs & bushes, creating a secluded & attractive setting.
