Christopher’s South Hams are pleased to market this rustic worker’s cottage conveniently located along the country lanes between Ivybridge and Ermington.

Description:

Both farmhouse stable and 1930s style doors welcome you in from each side of the cottage bringing a super thru-air and rural outlook..

The cottage offers a straightforward layout with its spacious reception room and stairs leading from the country-kitchen to the 2 bedrooms and functional, family bathroom upstairs.

Having been in the same ownership for almost 30 years, this cottage is a little weathered and deserves a boost of energy to realise its true, delightful potential.

Twin-named ‘Ivy Bank’ evokes charming images of decorative greenery which is further reflected in the cottage’s private and enclosed garden, again emphasising the simple beauty of the pastoral and agricultural surroundings.

Character features such as thick-set walls, log burner, a disused Rayburn, dado rails and even a quirky external WC, each nod to the various generations that have called this place home and offer a new blank canvas on which to stamp your own mark.

For a quiet little hideaway to a potential investment, this cottage opens up many opportunities and with no onward chain, viewings are recommended to appreciate.

Situation & Amenities:

With typical South Hams’ charm, Westlake is a small hamlet tucked away near the southern edge of Dartmoor betwixt Ermington and the broader Ivybridge area. You are truly spoiled with Westlake’s mix of rural life by the wealth of Dartmoor’s natural beauty and Devon’s countryside activities on your doorstep as well as its great connectivity to nearby Ivybridge and the wider amenities of Plymouth and Exeter due to its proximity to the A38.

Approximately 2 miles away is the small, family-orientated town of Ivybridge, with the pretty River Erme flowing from the moors and a rich heritage of traditional industries such as milling and cloth making that are still celebrated today. As well as its fascinating history, Ivybridge offers adventure. The idyllic countryside and moorland offer miles of magnificent walking trails out of the town, whilst in the town itself you’ll find pubs, eateries and a variety of shops and supermarkets. There is a good choice of primary schools all within the catchment of the renowned Ivybridge Community College with its World Class Quality Mark Award. There are several places of worship with noteworthy histories, gp and Dental Surgeries, a Minor Injuries Unit, two leisure centres with swimming pools, fitness suites, and various health classes. The charming Watermark with its welcoming library, it suite, cinema, theatre, coffee shop and conference facilities as well as the ever-popular Ivybridge Rugby, Football, Cricket, and Tennis clubs all add to the community focus of the town. Ivybridge certainly has a wealth of opportunities to welcome you and with its very own train station there are excellent transport links to Plymouth, Exeter, and London with all the amenities that larger cities can offer.
