Huge potential for extending, plus Full Planning Permission to develop two further dwellings within the grounds if desired. Viewings strictly through the Sole Agent Keane & Parker.
The village of Hemerdon lies just a short distance from the town of Plympton and is set within the rolling countryside of the South Hams with Dartmoor National Park behind. Within the village, there is a popular country pub, The Miners Arms, and a thriving community hall where a number of weekly, monthly and annual events take place. You can reach Plympton by foot, bicycle or car very easily and there are great connections to nearby villages and an easy route the A38 for travelling either towards Plymouth or Exeter. For schooling, there is a popular primary school located in the nearby village of Sparkwell, and any secondary student living in Hemerdon will have access to Ivybridge Community College with a school bus available, in addition to the choices of Heles School and Plympton Academy, both based in Plympton.
This distinct detached home sits on the westerly fringes of the village and has stunning views across the surrounding farmland and countryside. The generous gardens provide ample of space for any level of outdoor entertaining, with a long sweeping driveway which leads to the two single garages. More recently, the owners have successfully applied for planning permission to erect two detached properties within the grounds, of which this may appeal to a developer or a family combining generations as the two new proposed properties consist of a house and bungalow.
The house is a substantial 1930’s period home which has many of its original features and character. It features a huge reception hallway which floods with light from the front and rear French doors and the original staircase leading to the first floor, of which a guest WC has also been installed underneath. The sitting room is large reception featuring a deep bay window to the south aspect and a further window to the west, this light and spacious room also features an open fireplace.
On the opposite side of the hallway, doors open through to a large drawing room and separate dining room. Each of these rooms enjoy pleasant views across the gardens and provide plenty of flexibly and choice as to how you may choose to use your home. The dining room features an attractive bay window to the westerly aspect overlooking the gardens, plus a generous pantry cupboard and further recess cabinet.
The kitchen leads from the dining room and is fitted with a range of cabinets and large worktop areas with tiled splashbacks and ceramic tiled flooring throughout. There is an integrated dishwasher, and space for a slot in electric oven and plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen features two large windows with views to the gardens, and a doorway leads into a large utility room where you will find an additional separate WC and plenty of space for laundry and household storage. Here you can also access the gardens and sun terrace at the rear of the property.
On the first floor there are three very large double bedrooms, with Bedroom 1 featuring an ensuite shower room. Bedroom 2 mirrors the lounge below and features a bay window to the south aspect and stunning rural views with Plympton & Plymouth City in the distance, and Bedroom 3 enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front gardens and is fitted with a vanity sink and built-in cupboard. There is a family bathroom which leads off the landing, plus a generous airing cupboard for linen.
Stairs lead from the landing up to the fourth bedroom, a charming attic room with window to the south-westerly aspect taking in distant views. This room also features an ensuite shower and WC, and doors also lead into the remaining attic space for easy storage usage.
There are two single detached garages which lead off the long tarmac driveway, so there is plenty of space for parking and storage of larger outdoor equipment. The existing gardens to the property are extensive and have been lovingly landscaped and maintained throughout the current owner’s tenure. There is huge scope to extend and develop the existing property (subject to planning) if desired, or to simply enjoy the property in its current form.
Full planning permission has been sought through South Hams Council, application No. 1302/21/ful for two dwellings to be erected within the grounds and to keep the original house. This was awarded on appeal number app/K1128/W/21/3287577, and all associated documents can be found on their website . Plot 1 is for a detached 4-bedroom house, with Plot 2 being a 3-bedroom detached bungalow. This planning consent gives great choice to a buyer that may be looking for a cross-generation ownership project, where one of the dwellings may suit a family member. This also sets precedence to an opportunity to re-apply for an alternative scheme if felt necessary.
The property is connected to mains electric and water supply with private drainage system and is fitted with an oil-fired central heating boiler. It is registered for Council Tax Band G. EPC 28 G. All enquiries can be made to the Sole Agent Keane & Parker, and viewings are strictly by appointment only.
