Description

This stunning Grade II-listed farmhouse, dating back to the 17th century, sits on a secluded 1.6-acre plot in Plymouth, overlooking the Bircham Valley Local Nature Reserve. The property has undergone various extensions, resulting in a spacious footprint of over 5,000 square feet. Its exterior features slate roofs, rendered walls, and sash windows, while the interior boasts a delightful array of architectural details, including rustic flagstone floors, exposed rubble walls, and proud fireplaces. The house has a rich history, having once been the home of renowned Victorian botanist Thomas Briggs, who planted unique species of trees on the land. The property has been respectfully revitalized, retaining its period charm and character. The grand tour begins with a formal entrance, leading to a spacious entrance hall, drawing room, playroom, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, and utility room. The property features six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a smart shower room. The grounds offer a serene setting, with an array of trees, shrubs, and flora, as well as a private driveway, parking space, and a double garage/outbuilding with planning permission to convert to a separate dwelling.
