Vicarage Hill, Holbeton, Plymouth

3 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Plymouth

3 3 1

Christopher's South Hams are thrilled to market this detached period cottage in the sought after village of Holbeton.

Description - Offering a wealth of flexibility, this Grade II Listed home oozes character and charm with an abundance of original features both inside and out.
Double wooden gates invite you to a private parking space for one vehicle and a paved courtyard beyond. The cottage presents like a horseshoe around the courtyard with a front door welcoming you inside to an entrance vestibule.
Downstairs offers a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom, sitting room and separate dining room, both with exposed stone fireplaces and one housing a log-burner. From the dining room, there is an additional room, that the current owner uses as a home office, but could lend itself to a downstairs bedroom if needed. The garden room to the rear delights in its triple aspect and enjoys views of the wrap around patio, established lawns and shrubbery.
Stairs from the sitting room invite you to the two double bedrooms and incredibly spacious family bathroom. The main bedroom showcases exposed beams and deep-set windowsills as well as built-in wardrobes.
Outside, the gardens (including a stone log-store and glass greenhouse) envelop the cottage bringing a high degree of privacy beneath mature hedging and trees.
To the side of the cottage is an attached garage, formerly the cart-shed, with double doors to the road.
Dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, The Old Wheelwrights Forge celebrates its history with its namesake past and subsequently as the village Post Office. This is a truly timeless and enchanting home that is ready for the next generation to hold its stories and breathe life back into it. With no onward chain, Christopher's are excited to share this and viewings are highly recommended.

Situation & Amenities - If you wanted to create the perfect village, you would end up with something like Holbeton, set back from the wooded shores of the River Erme and surrounded by stunning, rolling South Hams countryside. This idyllic spot with a smattering of thatched cottages and cobblestone streets has a village pub, Post Office, shop and primary school with a two-mile drive to the nearest sandy beach, the beautiful and unspoilt Mothecombe. Within easy reach are Dartmoor National Park, the coast, beaches and the yachting havens of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo.
The local area was home to several country estates. Flete has its roots in Saxon times and was the seat of Baron Mildmay of Flete. The Grade I listed Flete House on the site today was remodelled in a Gothic style in 1835. During the Second World War it was used as a maternity home, away from the Blitz-battered city of Plymouth. Nearby Mothecombe was also acquired by the Mildmay family in 1876.
The Village Hall and playing fields are at the heart of activities in Holbeton and hosts various gatherings and events that celebrate local crafts, food and traditions, school plays, festivals and sport events fostering a strong sense of community. It also has its own film club! The traditional, village pub is called, unsurprisingly, The Mildmay Colours Inn and is a welcoming space to gather. As you would expect, given its location, Holbeton Primary School places an emphasis on the great outdoors, with a forest and beach school plus an orchard and an adventure playground.
The 14th century All Saints Church has beautiful stained-glass windows and an iconic spire which can be spotted from miles around dominating the rural landscape. On a hill overlooking Holbeton is an Iron Age fort, known as Holbury. A Scheduled Ancient Monument, little remains of the settlement but the area makes for an interesting walk with dramatic views.
Whilst it may feel quiet and remote, Holbeton is well connected. The A38 Devon Expressway is about six miles away and the vibrant waterfront city of Plymouth around ten miles away. Additional amenities including medical centre, pharmacy, optician, hairdressers and other eateries can be found in nearby Yealmpton with secondary school options in Ivybridge and Plymouth as well.
