Detached bungalow for sale in Bittaford, Ivybridge PL21

An Olde English Dictionary indicates that the origin for Platt may possibly derive from an archaic word meaning both ‘flat’ or ‘plot’.

Description

Our property The Platt sits on a primarily level plot atop this quintessential village lane, taking in charming views of its surroundings. With a very attractive double gated entrance beckoning you in, a superb, detached bungalow awaits. The property boasts a very sociable vibe with a light and bright feeling to each room yet the log burner in the sitting room brings a cosy addition on those colder days.
