An incredibly special nod to Ivybridge’s locomotive history can be found in this former railway worker’s cottage from the town’s Victorian era.

Description

Proudly sitting on the ever-popular Crescent Road, a stone’s throw from the pretty Longtimber Woods and commanding fantastic panoramic views across the town and rolling, verdant countryside beyond, this is truly an endearing place to call home.
Approached by a series of steps, the cottage is screened by an established hedge and tiered rockeries bringing a high degree of privacy with its elevated and end terrace position. Whether you choose the side central doorway welcoming you into the open plan sitting room or the rear vestibule with cloakroom, you are immediately drawn into this very unique home. Bygone features can be seen in the sitting room showcasing a log burner beneath an exposed stone wall and in the kitchen housing an original (inactive) cast-iron inset Victorian stove. The kitchen and utility both boast a range of integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine and freezer.
Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom that brings a touch of 21st century boutique elegance to this superb cottage. A further flight of stairs invites you to a very useful attic room.
Outside there are extensive tiered gardens hugging the cottage, from a manicured level lawn to attractive elevated seating areas all enclosed by mature shrubs, flowers and trees.
With the most amazing vantage point high above the garden, is a decking area with summerhouse and whilst part of this isn’t owned by the vendor, there is an established historic use and there are more details with the agent. Wherever you are throughout this beautiful plot, you are spoiled with south facing scenery and viewings are highly recommended.
Agent’s Note: One neighbour has two rights of way – further details are with the agent.
