Property description

Ivyside is a most attractive and sizeable Grade II Listed semi-detached town house conveniently situated a minute's walk from the centre of Chulmleigh. The property is of traditional stone and cob construction under a tiled roof with a two storey wing to the rear under an corrugated asbestos roof, all with rendered and colour washed elevations. Internally Ivyside offers beautifully proportioned and well laid out five bedroom accommodation including a large Sitting Room, a separate Dining Room, a Kitchen with separate Walk-in Larder/Utility Area and a family Bathroom. The property has been reasonably well maintained throughout but would now benefit from a program of renovation and modernisation including re-fitting the Kitchen and Bathroom Suites, re-plumbing, re-wiring, re-decorating and re-carpeting throughout. Outside and to the rear of the property there is the original Coach House and Stable with stalls providing useful storage space, whilst beyond the house is a beautiful walled garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and completely private creating a really super addition. Overall Ivyside offers the opportunity for a sizeable town house near the centre of the popular town of Chulmleigh with scope for further improvement benefiting from a super walled garden.
