An exciting opportunity to acquire a plot of land with Permission in Principle for the construction of two detached dwellings, replacing a traditional stable block in a sought-after, tucked-away setting.

Superbly positioned in the heart of Ivybridge, the site offers an ideal prospect for a self-builder or small developer to create two bespoke homes with level access, all within walking distance of Ivybridge town centre and its wide range of local amenities.
Situation

Ivybridge, often referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Moors’, is set on the foothills of Dartmoor National Park and is a popular and convenient place to live. Its excellent transport links include close proximity to the A38 dual carriageway, providing easy access to Plymouth to the west and the M5 at Exeter to the east.

The town offers a wealth of amenities, with most shops and services centred around Fore Street and Glanville’s Mill, the main shopping centre. Residents can enjoy a variety of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, as well as scenic walks along the River Erme which winds through the town centre.

Ivybridge also benefits from a well-equipped leisure centre with a gym, public swimming pool, and squash courts. The area is well served by local schools, with Ivybridge Community College being a highly regarded secondary school.
Directions

From our office in Erme Court, turn left out of the car park onto Leonards Road. Continue to the roundabout and take the second exit onto Exeter Road. Filham Moor Lane will be immediately on your right, next to Ivybridge baptist church.
