Great Woodford House is located in a tucked away position within the ever popular town of Plympton. Plympton offers a great community and a lot of history with parts of the town registered in the Doomsday Book, now the town offers every amenity you would need for any growing family, with a thriving shopping centre, highly rated schools, pubs and restaurants, a library and a plethora of sporting facilities whilst being in easy reach of the South Devon Coast and Dartmoor as well as easy access to the A38.
As first impressions go, this house has to be one of the most impressive in the Plymouth area with the front façade covered in Virginia Creeper and its long sweeping driveway. There is ample parking for a number of vehicles and even a caravan or motorhome.
You enter the property via the ornate Georgian style porch to the front of the property and into the entrance hall with its parquet flooring and panelled walls. To the left of the hall is the Drawing Room and to the right the formal Dining Room, these large rooms are flooded with light and have retained many of their original features including window shutters and sash cord windows and each boasts a working feature fireplaces. There is access from both the hall and the dining room to the Kitchen Breakfast Room, the kitchen has been fitted to a high standard with high gloss units and integral Bosch appliances and a large 4 oven gas fired AGA. There is a central island offering further storage and work space, and steps rising to the breakfast area. From the kitchen there is access to the Utility Room and walk in Pantry.
To the rear of the property is the main living room and although the room is a generous size it has a lovely cosy feel to it, with the exposed stone walls and fireplace with a cast iron wood burner inset. From the living room there is access to a study and further bathroom.
Completing the accommodation on the ground floor there is a further bathroom, a large conservatory that looks out on to the swimming pool and surrounding gardens. For those that have either elderly relatives or access issues there is a lift on the ground floor taking you up to the first floor landing.
To the first floor there are six double bedrooms, the master bedroom is a stunning dual aspect room with views out to the lawned gardens and benefits from a walk in dressing room and a large Ensuite with a freestanding clawfoot bath and a separate steam shower cubicle. The remaining bedrooms offer a fantastic space for even the largest of families. The original features continue through the first floor with some stunning vaulted ceilings and exposed stone walls, with the final bedroom having a mezzanine floor, which I'm sure any teenager would love. Completing the first floor is the large family bathroom, with a two person jacuzzi bath and a walk in shower and a further separate WC.
The loft space was originally the Housekeeper's quarters and offers huge potential for further accommodation if it was required with the Housekeepers stair case leading from the ground floor to the loft space.
To the rear of the main house there is a stunning barn that has been sympathetically converted into a games room room on the first floor and large storage room on the ground floor, this also houses the pump room for the heated pool. To the side of the barn is a beautifully finished self-contained annexe with a living room/kitchen, shower room and a double bedroom and a covered parking area. This is perfect for extended family accommodation or use as a studio for home working
Great Woodford House sits on a plot of approximately one acre, to the front of the property there are is a large well maintained lawned garden which at one point was the tennis court, surrounded by mature shrubs and trees the gardens offer a high degree of privacy. There is a pathway leading up to the second lawned garden, which the family have always used as the "fun" garden garden as it is ideal for kids to enjoy outdoor play. A vegetable plot, greenhouse, two garden sheds can also be found at the end of the lawned garden.
An arched gated entrance leads to the final part of the garden, which is also accessed directly from the main house, for those looking for a private and peaceful retreat it is just perfect with its lawned garden leading on to the swimming pool and hot tub, a raised area looking down on to the pool ideal for alfresco dining it is a wonderful sanctuary for relaxation and entertainment.
The owners Helen and Andrew discussed why they bought the property,
"We were originally looking for a property in a semi-rural location but came across Great Woodford House and fell in love with it. It was full of character with plenty of inside and outside space and offering the privacy we wanted whilst within easy reach of great schools and local facilities as well as the A38. We enjoyed transforming it into our home which proved to be the perfect place to bring up our family. We shall be very sad to leave but now they have grown it is time to move on to the next chapter."
