SITUATION 1 Plym Villas occupies a convenient position within the historic market town of Totnes and lies within the Totnes Conservation Area, close to the town centre with its excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.

DESCRIPTION A handsome Grade II listed period villa offering generous accommodation, a substantial walled garden and an exciting opportunity for modernisation throughout.
Forming part of an early 19th century pair, the property retains an elegant period faade, sash windows and well-proportioned rooms. Extending to approximately 2,290 sq ft (212.7 sq m) over four levels, the house offers considerable scope to restore and enhance to individual taste.
The generous rear garden further adds to the appeal, creating an excellent balance of space, character and a highly convenient Totnes location.
ACCOMMODATION The front door opens into the entrance hall, from which there is access to three well-proportioned rooms on the ground floor. The principal front room is particularly generous, with two further rooms providing flexible accommodation suitable for bedrooms, study or additional reception space. Towards the rear of this level is a utility room together with bathroom and WC facilities.
At lower ground floor level is a substantial cellar/store, providing useful ancillary storage space.
The first floor forms the principal living area of the house. A spacious sitting room occupies the front, with a further reception room behind, shown on the floorplan as a snug/dining room. This leads through to a separate dining room and adjoining kitchen. The second floor provides two further bedrooms, offering additional family, guest or home-working accommodation.
OUTSIDE The property is approached from Plymouth Road through a pedestrian gate, with a low boundary wall and railings enclosing the front garden.
To the rear is a particularly generous walled garden extending away from the house and arranged over a series of gently stepped levels. The garden presently incorporates numerous productive beds, pathways and established planting, providing considerable scope for redesign and landscaping to suit a purchaser's requirements.
Traditional stone walls provide attractive boundaries and a pleasing sense of enclosure, while the overall scale of the garden is an especially appealing feature for a property in this town location.
