Lower Bowcombe Farmhouse, Ugborough, Devon Plymouth 13 miles, Modbury 5 miles, A38 2 miles, Totnes 9 miles (distances approx)

Lower Bowcombe Farmhouse is a wonderful, surprising and spacious Grade II listed property. The origins of the house at the rear date back to the 16th century with a later addition in the middle and the Georgian front being added in approximately 1780. The classic Georgian front is most attractive and its elevated position overlooking it's own paddock and pond give elegance and poise to the property. The front door opens to a classic Georgian hall with central staircase to the first floor and doors to the sitting room and dining room on either side. The kitchen is full of character and very spacious with room for a table to sit 8/10. Upstairs are 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a rear staircase, all adding to the terrific individuality and style of the house. Attached to one side is a large bright workshop and to the rear is another detached workshop. There is also a long barn and detached stone coach house which could be developed, subject to planning permission. A shared driveway leads from the road and Lower Bowcombe Farmhouse is accessed through a wrought iron gate and over a cattle grid leading to the driveway to the house. The property is situated just on the edge of Ugborough which is a charming old South Hams village set in beautiful countryside mentioned in the Domesday Book with a long history dating back to Saxon times. Today there is a primary school, two pubs with outstanding restaurants and the 12th century church flanks one end of the large village square where the annual fair is still held. For more comprehensive shopping, there is Ivybridge to the west, Totnes to the east, Modbury to the south and Plymouth is within easy commuting distance via the A379 or A38. The Salcombe and Yealm estuaries are close by providing water sports facilities and Dartmoor National Park is to the north. The beautiful Erme estuary has long sandy beaches as well as fine cliff top and coastal walks many of which are owned by the National Trust.
