This extended four-bedroom family home on Lydford Close, Ivybridge, offers around 1,566 sq ft of really usable space, ideal for a growing family. Originally built in the 90s and extended in 2018, it’s been set up to suit modern family life with plenty of room to spread out.

As you come in, there’s a handy downstairs WC off the hallway, then through to a good-sized lounge — a great spot for evenings in or having people over. From there, it flows into the kitchen, which then opens into a second reception room. This used to be a conservatory but now has a proper roof, so it feels like a solid part of the house and works brilliantly as an extra living or entertaining space. French doors lead straight out to the garden.

The garden is nice and level, which is exactly what families want — space for the kids, a barbecue in the summer, or just somewhere to sit and relax.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms — three doubles and a single that works well as a nursery or office. The main bedroom is a bit of a standout, with a mezzanine level the current owners use as a snug, along with its own dressing area and en-suite.

Outside, there’s off-road parking and a useful storage area for bikes or all the usual family bits. The rest of the garage has been converted into a games room; it could easily be reverted by removing the wall.

Lydford Close is a really popular spot in Ivybridge, especially with families, thanks to its proximity to nearby schools and easy access to town. It’s one of those homes that just works well for day-to-day life.
