6 bed detached house for sale

Woodland Road, Woodlands, Ivybridge, Devon PL21

A rare opportunity to purchase a piece of history within the town of Ivybridge known as Woodland Manor. This impressive grade II listed family home forms part of an historic former farmstead which over time has witnessed the town grow around it and now sits in a convenient location just a short level walk from the town centre.
Description

First impressions of Woodland Manor upon entry are that it has clearly been a hugely loved and well-maintained home for its current owners. A decorative wooden door gives access into the entrance hallway and an impressive stairwell leads to the first and second floors. From here a door leads into the inner passage which boasts traditional flagstone flooring and gives access to the ground floor accommodation. There is a useful utility room and ground floor WC found just off of the passage, providing space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a free-standing fridge/freezer. Next is a spacious yet cosy formal sitting room with a feature fireplace and delightful dual aspect overlooking both the front and rear gardens. Just off of the sitting room is a useful area that is currently used as a home office which enjoys direct access to the rear garden via a decorative porch with pretty stained glass windows. Double doors then give access into what is truly the heart of this home, a large and characterful open plan kitchen, dining and family room. With its pretty inglenook fireplace and former bread oven, alongside exposed timber beams and stone walls, this stunning room enjoys double patio doors to the southerly facing garden and a wood-burning stove for cosy winter evenings. The kitchen comprises of a range of modern wall and base units with plenty of storage, underneath a solid worktop with a breakfast bar and butler sink. There is a space for a large range oven and free-standing dishwasher, and an integrated fridge and freezer are also provided. A second set of double doors lead out to the large lawned garden on the northern side of the home and there is a larder within the kitchen.

Taking the stairs to the first floor a spacious landing gives access to the accommodation on this level. There are three double bedrooms here, including a generous master bedroom with a modern en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobe, alongside the main family bathroom comprising free-standing bath with shower over, wash hand basin and low-level WC. Completing the first floor is a useful storage cupboard found on the landing space.

The second floor is very similarly laid out to the first, with a bright landing space, three double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Additionally on this level there is a useful study and another storage cupboard. All of the bedrooms enjoy particularly good views across Ivybridge and towards the surrounding South Hams countryside.
