Elfordleigh, Plympton

Located in a glorious setting yet not far from amenities, March Prior is a substantial detached home enjoying light and spacious rooms with an abundance of character features. Set centrally within its plot which approaches one acre in total, the property has been lovingly maintained and developed by the owners who have lived here for four decades and would be an ideal home for families, downsizers and many others too. An internal inspection of this fantastic home comes very highly recommended to appreciate all that March Prior has to offer.

Ground Floor A panelled front door leads to the Entrance Porch which is glazed to three sides with a parquet floor, beams to the ceiling and a frosted glazed door to the Entrance Hall, providing access to all principle downstairs rooms and including some exposed stonework. The first door you come to leads to the Study, which has a multi paned window to the front and a door leading through to the Boiler Room with storage cupboard, airing cupboard, floor standing oil fired boiler, a door to the rear porch which leads on out to the garden, and a further door to the integral garage (later described). There is a downstairs cloakroom which has a frosted window to the rear and is fitted with a low level WC and inset hand basin with mixer tap and cupboards under. The Kitchen/Breakfast Room was extended approximately 20 years ago by the current owners yet still offers great potential to extend further into the dining room. At present, the room enjoys a dual aspect with multi paned windows to the side and rear and a multi paned door to the rear porch, and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces over and cupboards and drawers under incorporating a 11⁄2 bowl sink unit with mixer tap, five ring gas hob (LPG) with extractor over and integral dishwasher under, integral fridge, built-in Neff double oven, excellent larder cupboard with plenty of shelving space and a large hatchway to the dining room. The Dining Room itself is open to the entrance hall yet tucked away in its own area and benefits from a large built-in dresser unit. A door leads to the Bar Room which has windows to the side and rear and built-in display shelving. Sliding glazed doors lead from the dining room to the Conservatory which is a superb room of excellent proportions, glazed to three sides with opening windows, a glazed door leading to the patio and tiled floor. The Sitting Room is another lovely room enjoying a dual aspect with a glazed door to the front lawn and sliding glazed windows over the south facing patio. The room also benefits from a wood burning stove with local granite surround and mantel sat on a polished granite hearth.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property and a real credit to the owners, having been lovingly maintained and developed over the years to provide a variety of areas to work or relax, depending on one's personal interests. The house itself is situated centrally within the plot, which approaches one acre in total, lending the property a high degree of privacy. To the front, there is a large driveway leading to the integral garage and front door, and a further gravelled off-shoot leads to the garage/workshop. There is a large lawn down to the front boundary with a wood store and shed. The lawn continues around the side of the property where there is a wonderful south-facing patio which can also be accessed from the sitting room and conservatory, and a gazebo a little further around. The rear part of the garden enjoys a number of mature trees and shrubs, including a wild area, and leads on around to the other side, where there is a well-established vegetable garden with a greenhouse and potting shed. Overall, the gardens are well-stocked with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and other plants including hydrangea, rhododendron, camellia, azalea, rose, birch, beech and fir, which help to create an idyllic, peaceful setting.Integral Garage A large double (we are informed it can take three vehicles if units are removed) with electric up and over door to the front, built-in shelving, power and light. Two separate openings lead to the Utility Room which runs the length of the rear of the garage with windows to the side and rear and two skylights. The room is fitted with a range of base units with work surfaces over and cupboards and drawers under incorporating a stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, space for washing machine and tumble dryer and splashback tiling.Garage/Workshop A substantial building providing useful space to work on a car or other practical project with three-phase power supply, extensive eaves storage and attached workshop.
