Devonport Road, Stoke, Plymouth, PL1

Impressive, substantial period property in the heart of Stoke. 

Are you a growing family looking for the forever home? Or an extended family needing space for the in-laws to move in? Perhaps a business owner needing a separate space to work from home? The possibilities with this property are endless. 

Standing tall on Devonport Road within the heart of Stoke village is this grand period property spanning four floors and bursting with original features. Offering versatile accommodation to suit many needs. Currently arranged as five double bedrooms and three spacious reception rooms, with some simple alterations the property could accommodate a self-contained annex. 

The property is accessed via a paved path leading to a vibrant red front door into the entrance vestibule. A striking entrance hall provides access to the ground floor accommodation which briefly comprises of: 

Kitchen / Breakfast Room – A light and spacious room to the rear of the property with patio doors leading to the garden. This room is the heart of the house, the perfect place for entertaining guests or socialising with family while preparing evening meals. The farmhouse style kitchen provides ample storage solutions, space for appliances and a free standing Rangemaster oven.

Bedroom Two - To the front of the property, a spacious double room with sash window overlooking the front garden and offering a working feature fireplace. Double solid wooden doors lead to the adjoining room.

Bedroom Three - Overlooking the rear garden via a sash window with wooden shutters; another spacious double or versatile reception room. 

The entrance hall also provides access to the utility area and under stairs storage cupboards - offering the ideal spot for hiding away coats and boots after a walk to one of the many local parks nearby. Also Downstairs W.C.

Stairs rise to the first floor which lead into the Lounge and formal Dining Room. The lounge is beautifully presented bringing a wow factor with the combination of contemporary décor alongside period features including the signature high ceilings adorned with ceiling rose, picture rails and double sash windows which flood the room with light. The formal dining room is the place for family get togethers and special occasions around the table. Both rooms offer working feature fireplaces and wooden floorboards. Double solid wooden doors allow for open plan living or the option to close and create a cosier atmosphere. 

Stairs lead to the second floor accommodation comprising of: 

The Main Bedroom – Spanning the width of the property, with dual sash windows overlooking the front elevation with privacy blinds allowing natural light. This room has been tastefully decorated and provides plenty of space for a large bed, storage and a dressing area. 

Family Bathroom – Jack and Jill style bathroom comprising of free-standing roll top bath, separate shower cubical, hand basin and WC. This room is a work in progress - previously a bathroom and additional en-suite, the current vendors opened the space as they planned to change the layout of these two rooms. With a few simple changes, the current large family bathroom could be adapted to reinstate an en-suite to the main bedroom and a family bathroom.  

Stairs rise to the third floor accommodation which houses two further bedrooms within the loft space. 

Bedroom Four – a well presented double bedroom with two windows to the front elevation one of which is a skylight style window. Offering plenty of storage space.

Bedroom Five – this room is light and airy and makes a lovely bedroom but could equally be utilised as a home office or dressing room. Another use could be as a reception room adjoining Bedroom Four making this level the perfect space for an older child wanting some independence and privacy. 

Externally the property offers a large enclosed rear courtyard with patio seating area and paved space to the side of the property. The current vendors have been successful in securing planning permission for a utility room next to the kitchen, with the roof of that extension providing a sunny balcony which would be accessed via the first floor dining room. The planning permission also includes an additional bathroom.

Unique for this style of property is the detached, double garage/ workshop. Accessed via the rear service lane with electric rolling door, power, lighting and water. Currently used for storage, this space could accommodate multiple uses including a self-contained annex, business premises or gymnasium. 

The sheer size of this property makes it the perfect home for a growing family who want to take advantage of the community life the area has to offer. However, the adaptable layout gives many other options meaning the property really must been seen to be appreciated.

Stoke is a much-loved area by its residents, its close proximity to Plymouth City Centre and the train station makes it an easy commute. Stoke Village is home to several independent businesses including, shops, cafes and restaurants. Neighbourhood activities take place frequently which helps to create a sense of community. Well regarded primary and secondary schools nearby will appeal to families with small children and the various local parks, which are a stones throw from the property, make it a haven for keen walkers.
