Outside

The gardens wrap around the house providing a sense of privacy, and have been lovingly developed and maintained by the current owners. To the front of the property there are well-established shrub borders and a wisteria climbing over the door. To the south side, there is a good sized vegetable garden which is mainly laid to lawn with two large sleeper-edged raised beds and further planting including apple and cherry trees, raspberries, strawberries, lavender, rosemary and a grape vine on the garage wall. A pedestrian gate leads to the driveway, with another leading to the rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with a paved path and patio running around the immediate rear of the house and around the further side. There are well stocked flower and shrub beds planted with a variety of mature specimens including jasmine, verbena, rose, buddleia and lavender. At the end, there is a very private decking area and steps down to a hardstanding where previous owners kept a hot tub but is currently used as a children's play area. To the north side of the house the path continues to a side gate leading to the front, and there is also a good sized raised gravel area with a large shed and further hardstanding.

Garage and Parking
The Double Garage is located to the side of the property and is a very good size with two recently fitted electric roller doors to the front, partly boarded loft storage with a pull-down ladder, light and power. In front, there is parking for two vehicles.

Situation

Brixton is situated about 15 minutes from the city of Plymouth (5½ miles), but is very much a country village surrounded by the rolling hills of the South Hams countryside. A thriving village, there is a strong sense of community here with many community groups, an 'Outstanding' village school, and church. The Foxhound pub will give you a warm welcome with a wide range of real ales and home cooked food, much of which is supplied by local producers. The fish and chip shop is well regarded with regular customers who travel from Brixton and the surrounding villages. A post office counter is available in the mornings and Otter garden centre at the edge of village sells more than just plants and lifestyle products, with a large café for coffee, cake or lunch.

Local beaches include Wembury (National Trust) and Mothecombe, both accessible in under 15 minutes, and Dartmoor National Park is within a 20 minute drive. Residents of Brixton can apply for moorings in the Yealm Harbour Authority. The village has a wonderful network of footpaths down to the estuary and across the local fields. The nearby town of Plymstock has a range of independent shops and supermarkets such as Lidl and Morrisons. The city of Plymouth offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, cinemas and theatres plus a mainline train station and continental ferry port.
