SITUATION
The property sits in the heart of Plymstock in an elevated position on Dean Hill. It is within walking distance of the Broadway shopping precinct which offers a wide range of shopping close to home.

There are two local senior schools – Coombe-Dean and Plymstock Secondary, and –Goosewell Junior school nearby, all of which have been rated as outstanding by OFSTED.
Recreational opportunities abound from local golf-courses and boating facilities to the beaches of Wembury and Bovisand which are both a short drive away.
DESCRIPTION
Presented in excellent decorative order, this sympathetically modernised and updated home offers plenty of features which make it ideal for family living. Whilst having a modern, light and contemporary feel the house still retains many features which echo its Art Deco heritage including bakelite door handles, period doors and high ceilings. This mood is further enhanced by Amtico “Oak” Art Deco flooring. Modern comforts have not been forgotten and the kitchen contains a high-gloss contemporary kitchen with ivory cabinetry, stainless steel fittings and “marble” floor tiles. Another feature is the cool, modernistic bathroom which has been part-tiled in co-ordinated ceramic tiles. The room feels luxurious thanks to its walk-in shower cubicle, designer inset bath, wash basin and WC all finished off with chrome fittings.
In addition to the two spacious reception rooms on the ground floor, the conservatory offers elevated views across the rear garden and Downhorn Park. This flexible and adaptable space offers plenty of scope as a family room, play-room or somewhere to sit and relax at the end of a busy day.
