Introducing Camellia House, an outstanding family home which offers the rare opportunity to purchase a three-storey Victorian property located in the sought-after Moorhaven village; forming part of an attractive terrace which was formerly an administration building.
Description
A home of generous proportions, upon entry into Camellia House the property immediately demonstrates the grandeur of most properties in Moorhaven; with incredibly high ceilings, traditional panelling and delightful features throughout. A welcoming and surprisingly spacious hallway greets you and provides plenty of space for the storage of coats and shoes; so spacious the current owners have managed to fit their piano in this area! The hallway leads to the centre of the home where stairs to the first floor can be found, as well as a ground floor WC which is neatly tucked away under the staircase. At the front of the property is a nicely proportioned sitting room which is as equally grand as it is cosy, with high ceilings and nice proportions giving a real sense of warmth. Two large uPVC double glazed sash windows to the front allow natural daylight to stream in, and there are useful fitted storage cupboards and shelving units found throughout. At the rear of the property is the true heart of this home, a large farmhouse-style kitchen/diner which is incredibly bright with a dual aspect and patio doors leading to the southerly facing gardens. There is space for a sofa alongside a large table and chairs, and the kitchen comprises a range of modern wall and base units with spaces for free-standing appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The current owners have installed an Everhot range oven which is their pride and joy, providing both warmth and huge space for cooking. This Everhot is available at separate negotiation. A large extractor fan is fitted to the wall above the Everhot.
Taking the staircase to the first floor, a central landing space provides access to the accommodation on this level as well as a second staircase rising to the second floor and a useful large linen cupboard. There are two bedrooms on this floor, both of double proportions and overlooking the front with pretty views over the surrounding grounds and Dartmoor National Park. The larger of the two bedrooms benefits from a fitted wardrobe and at the rear of the property is a sizeable family bathroom, comprising free-standing rolled-top bath, separate walk-in shower, high-level toilet and basin.
The second staircase then rises to the second floor and provides a delightful window seat on the half-landing, an excellent vantage point to enjoy views across the architectural delights of Moorhaven, including the original tower. On the second floor a landing area boasts useful storage cupboards and a door leads through to the master bedroom, another wonderfully bright room with a ‘Velux’ window to the front and vast fitted storage options. Finally, the master enjoys its own en-suite bathroom which is an excellent size and comprises a panelled bath, separate walk-in shower, toilet and basin. The second floor enjoys views from all aspects, including an outlook towards Dartmoor and also a South facing view catching a glimpse of Mothecombe Beach in the distance.
Overall Camellia House is in superb condition and our clients have done a wonderful job of maintaining and continuing to restore such a charming character home. During their time, all windows have been replaced with uPVC sash-style double glazed windows, the kitchen has been upgraded and a large portion of the roof has been replaced.
Situation
Situated in the foothills of Dartmoor National Park, Moorhaven comprises of predominately Victorian buildings which were converted from a former hospital in the late 1990’s and has become one of the most exclusive locations to live in the local area. Surrounded by open countryside and the rugged landscapes of Dartmoor, Moorhaven is popular with those who enjoy the great outdoors including walkers, equestrians and other animal lovers. Within the village itself there area vast communal gardens, a sports field for football or cricket, two tennis courts, a boules pitch, a croquet lawn and a nursery for under fives. The nearby town of Ivybridge is less than three miles away, providing a vast array of local amenities and vibrant high street with shops, cafes and restaurants. Ivybridge Railway Station can be found on the eastern edge of town, linking the area with the nearby city of Plymouth as well as numerous other locations across the south west, and London via Paddington Station. There are popular local schools to choose from, including a number of primary schools across Ivybridge and the neighbouring village of Ugborough, as well as Ivybridge Community College, a well regarded secondary school.
Outside
Sometimes a rare find within Moorhaven, Camellia House enjoys its own, private and enclosed rear garden that enjoys a sunny southerly facing aspect and has been nicely landscaped and planted. Patio doors from the kitchen lead to a delightful seating area, and beyond this is a level lawn which is bordered by mature plants and flowering shrubs. A brick paved path weaves through the gardens and leads to a second patio area and useful storage shed, which is a superb size. Finally there is a gate providing access to the rear of the property. At the front of the property there are also two allocated parking spaces. Additionally, there are 67 acres of meticulously manicured grounds which are for the exclusive use of residents of Moorhaven and their guests.
