Brixton, Plymouth

Set at the end of a shared, private driveway, The Stone House was once a gardener's cottage which was rebuilt in the late twentieth century into an individual 4/5 bedroom detached house. The current owners have further improved the property by rebuilding and updating the kitchen into a contemporary open plan family space, installed new bathroom suites and decorated throughout including new internal and external windows, doors and carpets. Set in circa half an acre of grounds, the property offers a high level of privacy in a convenient location in the heart of this popular South Hams village: ideally placed for commuting to Plymouth, Derriford, Devonport or further afield. A large detached double garage offers potential for an annexe/home office/studio subject to any necessary consents.

The front entrance opens to a hallway with doors to the sitting room, kitchen/dining family space, study/bedroom 5, utility room and downstairs WC. The open plan kitchen area is a wonderful blend of contemporary and country living, with a large island unit featuring a worktop made from a large sealed slice of natural wood with breakfast bar to two sides. At the end of the kitchen area is a lantern roof with large sliding glass doors opening out to the garden, creating an informal seating area for family and friends. An opening to the side leads to the dining area.

The double aspect sitting room is well proportioned with a high ceiling and a fireplace with wood burning stove on a slate hearth. Large south facing French windows open out to the deck, inset with hot tub. The study overlooking the drive would be ideal for a home office space, second sitting room or as a fifth double bedroom. The utility room offers plenty of storage with a range of cupboards, worktop and space for washing machine and dryer. A cloakroom/WC with basin completes the ground floor, along with under stairs storage cupboard. 

Stairs from the entrance hall lead up to the first floor. The double aspect master bedroom suite enjoys views to the South over the village to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The master bedroom also boasts a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, WC and basin. The guest bedroom overlooks the garden and woodland area and also boasts an en-suite shower room with shower cubicle, WC and basin. Two further double bedrooms, the family bathroom with separate shower cubicle and an airing cupboard complete the first floor.

The gardens and grounds extend to approximately half an acre in total and comprises a deck and lawn flanked by old stone walls to the south of the property, a paved patio area adjacent to the kitchen/dining/family room with steps up to a further lawn enclosed by low hedging, with a paved patio to one end, storage area and barbeque.  A path leads up to and around the woodland area which features a variety of trees, with spring bulbs such as bluebells and wild garlic.

A gravel driveway with electric gates provides parking and turning area for multiple vehicles.
