Ivy Cottage is a quintessential Devon cottage, perfectly situated on the banks of the Wray Brook with no immediate neighbours and surrounded by picturesque countryside.
The cottage is probably several centuries old and is built of stone and cob with a modern corrugated box-profile red roof - a landmark property that has not been on the open market for many decades. The interior has a living room with cosy wood-burner, modern kitchen-dining room and the majority of rooms have riverside or countryside views.
Ivy Cottage stands on 0.29 of an acre (as measured on Promap) adjoining the Wray Brook along one side and the gardens are a haven for wildlife. Included with the property is 2.31 acres (as measured on Promap) of woodland on the opposite side of the lane together with several hundred yards of single-bank fishing rights along the River Bovey/Wray Brook which contain mostly brown trout and eels as well as the occasional sea trout and salmon.
Lustleigh village is a ten minute walk and has a pub, tea rooms and dairy/shop and post office. Bovey Tracey is a 7 minute drive and has a good range of everyday shops and amenities including a newly opened Lidl. The A38 at Drumbridges is a 10 minute drive and links the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter. Ivy Cottage enjoys wonderful woodland and riverside walks literally on its doorstep including within the Woodland Trust Pullabrook and Rudge woods.
