Property description
WHY WE LOVE LIVING HERE We moved into Woodholme in July 2006 with every intention of moving on again quickly. However we fell in love with the house and the town and have spent a very happy seven and half years here. The house suited our growing families needs perfectly. The teenagers had space to develop and be themselves without disturbing the peace needed by our new baby while we were able to escape to spend warm winter nights in front of the fire. As the teenagers have now grown up and moved on it is time for us to pass the house on to another family to benefit from its size and versatility.
The excellent bus services to all the major towns and cities meant that as the children got older could get out and about safely and easily giving them some much needed independence. The swimming pool, library, doctors, school and all the shops are within a five minute walk of the house. Close proximity to the moors and the beach enabled us to enjoy the Devonshire lifestyle we had always craved. We have been proud to be part of this thriving local community and when we finally move are intending to remain local.
DESCRIPTION Woodholme occupies a sought after location and is within a level walk to the amenities offered by the town. The property boasts two staircases, six bedrooms four with en-suites, family bathroom, downstairs WC and utility room, as well as three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and office. Almost detached and linked just at one corner, the property is currently a wonderful family home but has the potential to be run as a boutique guest house or B&B subject to any necessary permissions or consents.
This elegant bay fronted home is approached by a foot bridge over the Stockabrook Leat with wrought iron railings to the front and parking to one side. To the rear a small walled garden and decked seating area is easily accessed through French doors from the kitchen.
LOCATION Buckfastleigh offers a good range of shops and facilities including public houses, a church, supermarket and schools. There is good access to the A38 which links to Plymouth and Cornwall to the west and to Exeter and the M5 to the east. The spectacular landscape of Dartmoor is just a few minutes car journey away.The historic town of Totnes is approximately 6 miles away. There are international airports at both Exeter and Bristol and also mainline rail services to London and nationwide from both Totnes and Newton Abbot.
