Property description
Elegant and spacious 4 bedroomed Victorian end terrace family house offering potential for improvement in a much sought after location, close to open moorland and 5 minutes to village shopping centre and A38.
SITUATION
1 Springfield Terrace occupies a delightful and very peaceful position close to the end of a private lane which serves a small number of high quality properties. The lane reduces into an attractive footpath which leads past some splendid allotments and eventually out to open moorland. This is excellent walking and riding country with livery stables nearby. The appeal of 1 Springfield Terrace is twofold. The access to open countryside is a lovely feature. The idyllic unspoilt beaches of Bantham and Slapton are within easy motoring distance. 1 Springfield Terrace property equally benefits from its convenience to the popular village of South Brent which provides a small but good range of shops and thriving primary school. The A38 dual carriageway is about 1.5 miles giving fast links to Plymouth, Torbay and Exeter. Totnes, the celebrated port town on the River Dart is about 6 miles with Dartington Hall, a centre for performing arts also nearby. There is free Devon school bus provision to South Devon Community College Ashburton, King Edward's (a performing arts college) in Totnes and Ivybridge Community College which has maths and science status.
