Built around 1910, Ivylea started life as a modest farmworker's cottage. About nine years ago the property was greatly extended, doubling the ground floor area with a first floor added as well. Today the property is a comfortable family home, is well presented and has been the much-loved home of its current owners for the past seven years.
The house sits back off a narrow country lane that is seldom-used as indicated by the grass growing down the centre of it. Unspoilt countryside stretches all around, gently sloping down to the River Exe about half a mile away, with tranquil, far-reaching views from every window.
The house has some lovely touches reminiscent of its early days, including a brick floor in the entrance hall and timber floors in the study and dining room.
The sitting room with its wood-burning stove and the good-sized study lie on either side of a central passageway that leads through to the large kitchen/dining room which forms a central hub to the house. It has an open fireplace to warm the centre of the house in chilly weather, windows on two sides and a wide opening to the adjacent garden room, which has exposed roof timbers, wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors opening to the terrace and rear garden.
The kitchen has a slate tile floor and is fitted with pale-coloured units under timber work surfaces and an electric Leisure range cooker. The views from upstairs are even better and can be seen from all the property's four bedrooms. All but one of the bedrooms have windows on two sides and the principal bedroom even has a set of French windows that can be kept open at night during the summer heat. It also has an en suite shower room, whilst the remaining three bedrooms have use of the family bathroom and integral, separate shower.
Ivylea has an extensive garden totalling about 0.85 acre bound by mature, thick Devon hedges and studded with a variety of trees. Immediately off the lane is a lower parking area along with a timber garden store with the gravel driveway flanked by twin lawns extending on to a further parking area in front of the house.
A vehicle width path continues around one side of the house to the rear garden, where there is a paved terrace behind the house and the property's well, along with an adjacent timber-built summer house. The garden is designed to require minimal maintenance and is comprised of areas of very gently sloping lawn peppered with a variety of trees including Apple, Walnut, Oak, Wild Cherry and Tasmanian Blue Gum.
At the far end of the garden is the former chicken/pig-rearing area and kitchen garden that is now planted with a self-sustaining willow coppice to supply firewood for the house. Indeed, the wood-burning stoves and open fireplace downstairs provide more than enough heat for the central heating not to be used throughout the ground floor
