Full details for 5 Bedroom Property For Sale in Ivybridge

DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye is pleased to bring to the market, Ludgate, an impressive five-bedroom detached country home with equestrian facilities, including a stable yard and approximately 4.5 acre field. This property is ideal for buyers seeking a home with equestrian facilities or those exploring income potential, as the stable yard has been privately used and more recently offered for livery.

Set in a peaceful rural location, Ludgate offers a haven for those who enjoy walking, riding, or working from home, with the convenience of easy access to the A38 and other transport links. Additionally, the property enjoys a right of way to Dartmoor, providing direct access to exceptional riding and walking across the moorland without the need to use public roads. Dartmoor Commoners rights are included and an additional 4 acre field is available by separate negotiation.

On the market for the first time since its construction in 2001, this well-loved home features a newly installed kitchen and en-suite shower room and enjoys breath-taking countryside views. On clear days, residents can even enjoy far-reaching glimpses of the sea.

Ludgate is approached over a shared gravel driveway, giving way to a private driveway with plenty of parking for several vehicles. There is a drive through carport/porch as well as a double garage with two up and over doors. A five-bar timber gate opens onto the stable yard which offers further space to park additional vehicles and/or trailers. The yard can also be used to allow restricted turnout if required.

A fully glazed front door opens into the spacious hallway which leads to the principal rooms. The kitchen-dining room which the current vendors say is the heart of the home, enjoys French doors which open onto the patio and garden, seamlessly blending indoors and outdoors. The kitchen has been completely replaced and is equipped with Neff appliances including a steam oven, a combination oven and an induction hob. All the drawers and cupboards are smooth fronted and handleless, there are solid oak work tops which have curved ends and the kitchen is finished with feature LED lighting and mirrored plinths, giving the area a great contemporary look. The separate utility room has a sink with drainer plus space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. Doors from the utility room lead to the integral double garage, the garden and the driveway making this room a very useful buffer between the home and the outdoors, great for those who enjoy outside activities. There is also a door into the study giving the option for an internal tack room, further utility space or a sixth bedroom. 

The triple aspect living room has an inglenook fireplace with an oak lintel and a gas fired stove. Further French doors again open onto the garden and a double set of partially glazed doors connect this room to the kitchen-dining room. A cloakroom completes downstairs. 

The bespoke staircase rises from the hall to the galleried landing which gives access to the five double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms. The master bedroom has bay windows and French doors onto a balcony above the garden, plus there are double and triple built in wardrobes. The en-suite shower room has underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, two basins with mirrored vanity cupboards above and a low level w/c. The bedroom/playroom above the garage is a particularly large room lending itself to many uses and it has a glazed door overlooking the stable yard which has access to an external staircase. The family bathroom has an extra long bath and separate shower. There is also an airing cupboard and the loft space is boarded. 

Outside, Ludgate has a level garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a raised vegetable bed and flower borders. A recently laid patio with real stone pavers offers a great space for outside furniture where you can sit and enjoy the aforementioned views. A large opening in the nearby tree line gives sight to parts of the field, where the current owners have in the past been greeted by their horses. There are two external taps in the garden and the stable yard has power and mains water and it comprises of two looseboxes with a central tack room. The fields are stock proof and well draining and both have mains fed water troughs.
