Description
Occupying an excellent location close to the heart of the friendly town of Buckfastleigh with local amenities a 2 minute walk including a primary school, health centre, churches, open air lido and playground, numerous eateries/pubs, hair salon, ATMs and retail shops on the historic Fore Street such as pharmacy, Co-op and independent grocer. Buckfastleigh regularly celebrates on Fore Street, including a winter festival and Lamb Pie Day and throughout the year an open air farmers market allows you to meet the local growers and buy their wonderful produce for almost zero food miles.
Some of South Devon's main attractions are in walking distance, kids will love the Butterfly and Otter Sanctuary, you can listen spellbound to evensong or Christmas carols in Buckfast Abbey or take a trip back in time at the South Devon Steam Railway where you can steam to Totnes, or refresh yourself at the Railway annual beer festival or other regular social events. A five minute drive will take you to the beautiful, peaceful open spaces of Dartmoor National Park with far-reaching views over the rolling Devon hills stretching to the coast at Lyme Bay and Torbay. Nearby is Pennywell Farm, where among all the animals you can meet piggy TV stars. Further afield is the quirky town of Totnes and the southerly unspoilt beaches of the South Hams on the South West Coast Path where you can explore miles of stunning coastal scenery by foot.
Excellent transport links and high speed broadband make this an ideal property for a quick commute or working from home. City centre amenities of Exeter or Plymouth are both a 25 minute drive and direct bus services also depart from a few minutes walk away. A mere 15 minute drive to Newton Abbot gives railway links to major cities including direct express services to London Paddington, Birmingham and Bristol. It's a short drive to Exeter Airport where domestic and international flights allow easy access to holiday and business destinations.
THE PROPERTY
Woodview is a distinctive family-sized house which according to its grade II listed building status dates from circa 1820, though the seller has researched the property's history and believes it may have earlier origins.
The accommodation is brimming with period features such as ornate fireplaces, ceiling cornices and large sash windows which fill the rooms with natural light. A fine polished-wood staircase rises to a spacious and impressive first floor landing with two attractive glazed lantern-style windows inset to the ceiling. Many rooms have waxed wood floors and there is full gas fired central heating via a modern combi-boiler.
Outside, a verandah runs along the front of the building where there is a east-facing garden planted with lots of shrubs and ample space to sit-out to enjoy the morning sun. This garden is bounded by a small leat which winds its way through the town and a pedestrian bridge connects the main entrance of Woodview with Plymouth Road. At the rear of the house is a paved courtyard providing further sitting out space and with a useful garden store and rear access.
Road parking is available along Plymouth road and there is a large public car park just opposite with reasonably priced annual permits, subject to availability and a public park with green open spaces is just a stone's throw along the road.
