Description
A truly unique four-bedroom terraced home full of charm and history, located in the heart of Ivybridge. This was once the town's police station which possibly dates back as far as 1815. This characterful property, offers spacious accommodation and delightful period features, with a rich local story woven into its walls.
You enter the property into a hallway that gives access to the large dining room with a stone fireplace, there is access from here to the first floor of the main part of the house and the kitchen. There is a good size sitting room with a stone fireplace at the front of the house. The previous owner converted the stone dwelling at the back of the property to give an attached annexe. The accommodation in the annexe offers a shower room, lounge, double bedroom and an ensuite bathroom. The shower room still bears the original viewing latch once used to check on detainees—a subtle but intriguing nod to the building's former life. The modern kitchen was replaced a few years ago and sits at the heart of the home and connects the main house with the annexe area.
Upstairs in the main house are three further bedrooms, all well-proportioned and bright, plus a modern family bathroom. From the second bedroom, there is a loft ladder up to the mezzanine level, which has many uses. The home is brimming with character features throughout, from exposed timberwork to original doors and fittings.
Externally, the property boasts a low-maintenance courtyard at the rear, and a large raised decking area elevated above the house—perfect for entertaining or relaxing while taking in the lovely surrounding views.
Ideally located within walking distance of Ivybridge’s amenities, schools, and transport links, this home offers something genuinely different for buyers seeking history, charm, and space.
Parking permits are available for £35 a year close to the property and the current owner rents a garage nearby for £100 a month.
This property is a really good size and needs to be viewed to fully appreciate what it has to offer.
