Detached house for sale in Plympton, Plymouth PL7

Waiting for you at the end of a shared and privately owned country track sits this immaculate 3 bedroom detached converted barn.

Description

From the central porch, step inside the spacious entrance dining room acting as a social hub to the whole home. To the left is the large sitting room with its picture window looking across the gardens. With mindful integrated storage this room offers both a functional and family space to spend time. The newly fitted log burner sits proud underneath an oak lintel and brings a cosy feel to this super room.
The kitchen/breakfast room welcomes you on the other side of the dining room and whilst this exceptional barn conversion has been recently and extensively renovated throughout, the current owners have left scope for a potential extension (strc) from this room.

All rooms in this stunning home take in views of the large garden and grounds that sweep around the barn.
Outside there is a large parking and turning area with space for a number of vehicles and to the side is an area of hard-standing leading to the garage with light and power connected. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn dappled with different areas from which to rest and enjoy this splendid slice of countryside.

Situation & Amenities

Parkside Barn nestles betwixt the small South Hams village of Sparkwell and the old stannary town of Plympton.
Sparkwell gives superb access to the Dartmoor National Park and South Devon coastline as well as playing host to a church, parish hall, nursery and primary school. If you listen carefully you may hear the lions roar with the Dartmoor Zoo on your doorstep or enjoy a treat at the nearby Welbeck Manor Country Hotel and Golf built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Richly steeped in history, nearby Plympton is sited on an ancient trackway called ‘the Ridgeway’ from Dartmoor with its earliest surviving documentary reference coming from an Anglo-Saxon charter reading ‘Plymentun’ deriving from the adjective plymen meaning ‘growing with plum-trees’, or ‘Plum-tree farm’. Alternative derivations suggest a possible relationship to the Latin plombum which means ‘tin’ and may be a nod to the town’s history as an important trading centre for locally mined tin. Today, Plympton sits in the shadow of the now ruined Norman motte-and-bailey castle that still dominates the landscape. The town in general retains its medieval street pattern and together with a number of historic buildings, variety of architecture as well as the nearby Iron Age hill fort of Boringdon Camp, there are details all around to attest to the town’s varying past. Plympton now offers a bustling hub with a wealth of amenities including retail, primary and secondary schools, healthcare services, leisure facilities, sports clubs, pubs and cafes and places of worship which altogether manages to preserve a village feel for this ever-developing town.
The renowned Ivybridge Community College offers a free bus service from the end of this home’s driveway and additional excellent transport links give access to the larger surrounding towns and vibrant waterfront city of Plymouth.
