A substantial period home in the heart of this desirable village.
With Medieval origins thought to date as far back as the 1500s and Tudor times, this wonderful property was restored with skill and attention to detail in the early 1990s. Grade II listed, the property is brimming with individual period features including exposed beams and A frames, stone fireplaces; one with a bread oven, wide floorboards and much more.
The detached property is beautifully situated just a stone's throw from the centre of this well-served and highly sought-after village and its extensive range of amenities including small supermarket, health centre, popular public house, primary school and well-attended church. Ipplepen is located approximately 4 miles from the market town of Newton Abbot, famous for its racecourse and offering easy access to the A380 South Devon Link Road north to Exeter and the M5 beyond. Around 5 miles in the opposite direction is the pretty castle town of Totnes with its bohemian atmosphere. Both Newton Abbot and Totnes have mainline railway stations. Also around 5 miles' drive is the coast at Torbay.
The property occupies an enclosed plot with the front having feature stone walls, a terrace and level lawn. An in and out driveway at the front provides off road parking for a number of vehicles. At the rear, the garden is again enclosed by natural stone walls and is predominantly laid to lawn with shrub borders, a stone pathway running along the back of the property.AccommodationThe accommodation is extensive and is accessed through twin doors and a vestibule into a spacious reception hallway with guest cloaks/WC off. Enjoying natural light through a rear-facing window, the hallway also features an old decorative range set into a recess and a turning, almost spiral stone staircase to the first floor. The main house features 3 separate reception rooms offering much versatility, the largest with a feature stone fireplace currently housing a large wood burner and illuminated alcove over. A square farmhouse-style kitchen has cupboards on all sides and plenty of space for a central dining table and chairs. There is a separate utility room off the kitchen with back door.
On the first floor are 4 double bedrooms and a family bathroom with 4-piece suite including a shower cabinet and WC and a further separate WC access from a split-level landing. The master bedroom is particularly spacious with 3 steps down to a large en-suite bathroom.
The guest wing, located at the rear of the property, has a connecting door from the utility room and its own entrance door from the rear garden. This briefly comprises a living room and fitted kitchen on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor.
