Bittaford, Ivybridge

4 Bedroom Character Property for sale in Bittaford

2 4 2

Sitting amidst this quintessential village lane is this beautifully renovated Victorian Villa that exquisitely preserves nods to its history as it showcases exposed beams, stonework and high ceilings.

Description - An impressive semi-open plan entrance welcomes you into this superb, detached home, with two large reception rooms divided by the central staircase. The immaculate sitting room enjoys a light and bright, double aspect and feature fireplaces (including a Stovax Multi-Fuel Burner), whilst the dining room flows through to the kitchen and generates a highly sociable and circuitous flow for the ground floor accommodation.
Fully remodelled, the kitchen is an outstanding space with integrated appliances including twin Samsung ovens and a wonderful, hand-built island (that also discreetly houses useful plug-points).
With an exceptional extension completed in 2021, Grove Villa increases its flexibility to have either 4 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms or 3 bedrooms and 3 receptions. Currently used as an additional family room, the extension lends itself to creating a rather grand master (or guest) suite, with the benefit of its neighbouring, luxurious shower room that brings a touch of 'boutique country chic'. With bi-folding doors onto the gardens, this is a very multi-functional room offering a plethora of opportunities. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms and an elegant family bathroom.

Hugging the villa on all sides, are various areas of low maintenance garden, patio and hardwood decking all enclosed by fencing and established hedging that adds to the privacy and seclusion of this very picturesque spot. A particularly special feature of the garden is the outdoor kitchen and BBQ area on a south-facing terrace as well as an area for a fire pit, making this a dream space in which to entertain family and friends. To the rear of the property is a converted outbuilding, fully insulated and with electricity and wifi, is currently used as a home office. A further detached, double garage/workshop also has light, power and water connected - and there is a pedestrian door to the garden to bridge these two spaces. There are also two private driveways with ample parking.

Boasting well-proportioned rooms, this utterly fantastic home offers an incredible wealth of versatility and has been lovingly renovated by the current owners with a true respect in blending the period charm with a contemporary lifestyle. Viewings are highly recommended and Christopher's South Hams can't wait to show it off.
