A charming, detached period home in a sought-after village location. Situated in the heart of Brixton, this delightful, detached period home offers a perfect combination of traditional character and modern living. With stunning south-facing views over fields and ancient woodlands, the property provides a peaceful setting while still being within easy reach of Plymouth and the surrounding areas. The home features spacious, well-proportioned rooms with a wealth of original character, including exposed beams and wooden floors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to offer both comfort and practicality, with plenty of room for family life, entertaining, and relaxation.

The Sitting Room is a light-filled, dual-aspect space, featuring a charming multi-paned window with a window seat to the front and glazed double doors that open onto the garden, enhanced by stone steps. The room exudes character, with stripped wooden floorboards, exposed ceiling beams, and a feature fireplace with an exposed stone surround and wood-burning stove on a slate hearth. The under-stairs cupboard has been cleverly repurposed as a whimsical hideaway, evoking the charm of a child’s secret hidey-hole. The Kitchen/Dining Room is another exceptional space, enjoying dual aspect windows to the front and side, flooding the room with natural light from the southerly aspect. Fitted with a range of wall and base units, the farmhouse kitchen features ample work surfaces, cupboards, and drawers, along with a Belfast sink unit with mixer tap and stylish splashback tiling. The Rangemaster cooker, with its five-ring induction hob, twin ovens, and extractor, adds both functionality and style, complemented by an integral fridge/freezer. A wooden door leads to the Utility Room, which benefits from a rear-facing multi-paned window, a single-drainer stainless steel sink, and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge/freezer. The room also houses the Worcester combi boiler. There is a ground floor WC and a Boot Room offers further practical space, with doors opening onto the side garden.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall, their wooden panelling and cast-iron railing guiding you to the first floor landing, which features a multi-paned window to the rear and provides access to all the rooms on this level. There are four double bedrooms on this floor, each benefiting from multi-paned windows, with two rooms offering stunning views to the south over fields and woodland. The Family Bathroom is thoughtfully designed and includes a panelled bath with mixer tap and hand-held shower attachment, low-level WC, inset hand basin with mixer tap, and a fully tiled shower cubicle. Rising from the first-floor landing, the stairs lead to the second floor. The principal bedroom suite is a truly impressive space, comprising a generous bedroom, dressing area, and en-suite. The bedroom offers beautiful views to the south and impressive exposed beams. The room is spacious enough to accommodate a work from home area or seating, providing a comfortable and flexible living space. At the far end, two large double wardrobes provide ample storage. The en-suite shower room is well appointed including a walk-in shower with rainfall head creating a stylish and relaxing space.

At the front of the property, a parking bay for two vehicles leads to beautifully landscaped gardens. The south-facing paved patio offers elevated views, surrounded by a generous lawn and mature shrubs in raised planters. The side garden features a large deck, additional lawn, and flower beds, with a chicken coop in one corner and a path leading to a thoughtfully designed vegetable garden, complete with raised beds, a greenhouse, and a large shed with decking. The south-facing stone wall is ideal for fruit trees. These stunning gardens provide multiple spaces for relaxation and enjoyment.
