Substancial family house for sale in Ivybridge
Date : 27 January 2010
“Houses like Cleeve House are few and far between, particularly in the current market” says William Morrison of Knight Frank.
“Cleeve House is special in many ways. Firstly it a substantial family home up a long private drive with far reaching views to Dartmoor."
"Secondly, it was built in 1886, has many period features and is in need of some refurbishment but is not Listed."
"Thirdly, it still has not just one, but two, beautiful courtyards of traditional stone buildings and lastly, it is only 12 miles for Plymouth."
"Two years ago a property like this would have sold extremely quickly. Obviously confidence has changed in that time but that is the only drawback, the house is still a fantastic and unique package and for the serious buyers out there who know that something like this rarely comes to the market, we feel confident that they will fall in love with it.”
Cleeve House has 7 reception rooms, 9 bedrooms, 3 family bathrooms, 2 en suite shower rooms and 2 self-contained flats which could easily be incorporated into the main house.
There is also a bungalow which is currently subject to a protected tenancy producing an extra income, single bank fishing rights on the River Erme and pasture land totalling about 38 acres.
The house for sale in Ivybridge has a guide price of £1.8million for the whole or it is available in separate Lots.
