THE PROPERTY

Woodview is a distinctive family-sized house which according to its grade II listed building status dates from circa 1820, though the seller has researched the property's history and believes it may have earlier origins.

The accommodation is brimming with period features such as ornate fireplaces, ceiling cornices and large sash windows which fill the rooms with natural light. A fine polished-wood staircase rises to a spacious and impressive first floor landing with two attractive glazed lantern-style windows inset to the ceiling. Many rooms have waxed wood floors and there is full gas fired central heating via a modern combi-boiler.

Outside, a verandah runs along the front of the building where there is a east-facing garden planted with lots of shrubs and ample space to sit-out to enjoy the morning sun. This garden is bounded by a small leat which winds its way through the town and a pedestrian bridge connects the main entrance of Woodview with Plymouth Road. At the rear of the house is a paved courtyard providing further sitting out space and with a useful garden store and rear access.

Road parking is available along Plymouth road and there is a large public car park just opposite with reasonably priced annual permits, subject to availability and a public park with green open spaces is just a stone's throw along the road.
