Outside

The property is approached via a driveway, part of which is shared with two other properties.  There is a gravelled parking area solely for Ivy Cottage with external lighting, electric car charging point and a walled bank stocked with ferns, bulbs and numerous other plants to provide interest.  Steps lead up via the side of the house (with a door to the master bedroom), and around to the rear garden, which is cleverly arranged on four levels.  To the immediate rear of the house, and accessed from the Living Room, there is a covered gravelled patio, ideal for a morning cup of coffee or al fresco dining.  Steps lead up to a small lawn which then continues on to a further elevated seating area enjoying a gorgeous outlook over fields and woodlands beyond.  The highest level is currently used as a small vegetable garden with raised beds and a useful garden shed.  Overall the garden is well-stocked with a wide range of mature shrubs and other plants; walls, risers and steps are of stone with an abundance of ferns and other alpine plants interspersed amongst the gaps.

Situation

Brixton Torr, set on the fringes of the South Hams, is an almost timeless hamlet, nestling in a beautiful wooded valley down which a babbling brook runs alongside a meadow to the tidal estuary of Cofflete Creek, an arm of the River Yealm. The setting is delightfully peaceful with tranquil walks through woods along the sides of the estuary; it is hard to believe that the busy city of Plymouth is less than six miles away. The village of Brixton is close by and very convenient for Plymouth with a regular bus service. The National Trust beach at Wembury is just 10 minutes by car, with further beaches at Mothecombe and the South Hams with its lovely countryside and coastline. The village has a church, 'Outstanding' Primary School, nursery, The Foxhound public house, fish and chip shop, general stores, Post Office store and a restaurant. Plymouth itself is an historic and vibrant waterside City, well provided with colleges, grammar and public schools, modern university, the Peninsula Medical School, Theatre Royal and cinemas, large department stores, cafés, bistros and restaurants. The leisure facilities are outstanding with superb water-sports in and around Plymouth Sound.
