Description
Description - An immaculate detached 3-bedroom home in a peaceful cul-de-sac on the popular western side of Ivybridge, sitting in an elevated position with a lovely, open, southerly aspect overlooking a small, protected green and the countryside beyond. This beautifully presented home offers well-appointed accommodation with entrance hall, downstairs cloakroom, sitting room with double doors to the south-facing garden and modern kitchen/diner with integrated appliances. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms, including master suite with built-in wardrobes and en-suite. There is also a modern family bathroom.
Outside, there is a large driveway with space for 2 vehicles. This leads to a detached double garage/workshop with light, power and water connected and additional storage in the eaves. Behind the garage is a separate utility and boot room with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer; this can be accessed from both garage and garden.
The principal garden lies to the side and rear of the house and has been re-landscaped by the current owners to provide an enclosed, south-facing, level lawn with mature flower borders and a patio with pretty pergola. An additional patio sweeps across the rear of the property giving access to the garage and utility area. This house sits on a large plot and could lend itself to further development subject to the relevant consents.
