Description
The Sidings is a superb detached home located on the outskirts of the popular village of Brixton and backing onto fields and woods. Constructed in 2022 to a very high standard, amongst the many benefits of this stunning property are an abundance of natural light from floor to ceiling windows throughout, underfloor heating with zoned control in all rooms, wooden floors and wooden panelled doors. With an open plan layout to the ground floor, master suite plus two further bedrooms to the first floor, and a very generous basement, The Sidings would be a fantastic prospect for those who love to entertain.
Accommodation
A part-frosted glazed front door with frosted floor to ceiling sidelights leads to the Entranceway with a door to the Home Office which enjoys full height windows to the front, and a further door to the Downstairs Cloakroom which is fitted with a low level WC, inset hand basin with mixer tap and cupboard under, and a sliding pocket door to the under-stairs cupboard housing heating and hot water systems. From the entranceway, an open aspect leads through to the open plan Kitching/Dining/Sitting Room, which enjoys views of the garden and woods beyond along the whole width of the house. The Kitchen area is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces over and cupboards and drawers under incorporating an inset Franke stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, integral dishwasher and fridge/freezer, five ring induction hob with extractor over and pan drawers under, and a Neff eye-level double oven and grill. The Dining area benefits from French windows with sidelights leading to the garden and is open to the Sitting area which enjoys bi-fold doors to the garden and a further window to the side. From the kitchen, a door leads through to the rear lobby with a loft hatch, lightwell, glazed door to the garden and stairs leading down to the Basement, which is a substantial space with excellent head-height and would lend itself beautifully to conversion into a games room, cinema, studio or, indeed, underground parking (subject to any necessary consents). From the entrance, a wooden staircase with glass balustrades rises and turns to the spacious First Floor Landing, which has two Velux windows to the front. The Master Suite enjoys views over the garden and woods beyond from its full length windows to the rear, with an additional window to the side. There is a separate area to the front which would be ideal as a reading nook, vanity station or study, and a door leads to the En-Suite which is fitted with a fully tiled shower cubicle with rainfall shower and separate hand held shower attachment, wall mounted hand basin with mixer tap and cupboard under and a low level WC. Bedroom 2 also enjoys an outlook over the garden and woods from its feature windows to the rear, and an additional window to the front, and Bedroom 3 is a good size single room with a window to the rear.
Outside
The property is approached from the driveway of The Old Station, over which The Sidings enjoys a right of access. A substantial gravelled driveway provides ample parking and there are two raised beds, ready to be planted up as shrubberies or for growing vegetables. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with fenced perimeters and trees beyond providing a high degree of privacy. There are three beautiful mature silver birches, along with a paved patio to the immediate rear of the house which continues as a pathway around both sides and the front.

Situation
Brixton is situated about 15 minutes from the city of Plymouth (51⁄2 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. Fancy a pint and a bite to eat? The Foxhound 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.
