Property description
DESCRIPTION Nestled in this historic Devon hamlet, enjoying a wonderful open outlook across the Plym Valley is this spacious detached property set on a beautifully maintained plot of approximately 2.7 acres including extensive gardens, parking forecourt with double garage and a large paddock complete with stables and a hay barn. This really is a unique opportunity to purchase a property in such a beautiful countryside setting and yet so conveniently close to the amenities and transport links of Plymouth which has also recently been granted outline planning permission to erect a further two exclusive detached properties within the boundaries. Planning reference (14/00501/OUT & 14/00424/FUL)
The original building of Odoorn Lodge dates back to 1857 when the Riverford hamlet enjoyed its own pub and was situated along the tramline delivering granite to the local area. The property has been substantially extended and now offers a wonderful family home with living accommodation briefly comprising: entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen/ breakfast room, dining room, living room and study on the ground floor, four spacious bedrooms (master with en-suite) and a family bathroom on the first floor. Underneath the property is an extensive network of cellars offering an excellent storage space that could possibly be developed further.
Externally, the property is accessed via a sweeping tree-lined gravelled driveway opening onto a generous parking forecourt with mature formal gardens, wildlife pond and a detached double garage. Steps lead down to a sun terrace and to the property which has paths leading to both sides. To the rear is an elevated patio area also accessed direct from the living room, excellent for al-fresco dining with the garden room enjoying the quite stunning views over the paddock and to the countryside and woodland beyond.
PLYMOUTH Plymouth is a city with one of the most natural harbours in the world. To the north is the Dartmoor National Park extending to over 300 square miles which provides excellent recreational facilities. Plymouth itself has a population of well over 250,000 and has a full range of shopping, educational and sporting facilities. There is a mainline train service to London Paddington and to Penzance in Cornwall. Brittany Ferries operates seasonal services from Plymouth to France and northern Spain.
