30 Whiteford Road“When we first viewed the property, my husband told me the house needed too much work doing to it! But I knew this was a challenge that we could take on and it has been more than worth it. I could see the potential within this period house and after ten pain staking years, the home was finally finished. This was the first home we have restored and we knew we wanted to do it right, explaining why it took ten years! It is a beautiful home that needs to be loved and we are very reluctant to leave,” says Sue.

“We moved to Plymouth due to our love of sailing, we are travelling almost every weekend and sailing around the coast and so this house has been perfect to pursue our passion. It is within an incredibly close knit community with a secure walled garden. We happily lock up our home and know it will be exactly as we left it when we return.”

“We restored the conservatory of the house and replaced the windows throughout with original timber frames to keep in with the character features of the property. The house is located within a conservation area and so everything we have done to the home is incredibly tasteful and compliments its character. I love the Aga we have installed in the kitchen and the solid oak flooring throughout. The property is a combination of a traditional period home with all the modern conveniences you could need, it is a very liveable house,” continues Sue.

“The property will be incredibly hard to leave as we love our house and our neighbours! The community is incredibly supportive with plenty of local clubs to join including a tennis club, boules club and croquet club. It has been a fantastic house for hosting parties too with the three reception rooms on the ground floor all flowing together to end in the conservatory. We have held some wonderful Christmas parties here.”

“The location is perfect for a family. Local schools are within a short walking distance from the property and all have an excellent reputation. Our house is within easy reach of the motorway too with easy links to Exeter. Plymouth itself has everything you could need with dentists, doctors and shops all on our doorstep.”

“As well as the main property, we have also restored the garden back to its former glory. When we first moved to the home the garden was covered in hard standing concrete but we lifted this up and created a hard and soft landscaped garden that we could enjoy. I have sixty roses planted in the beds and spend the majority of my summer relaxing there. It is easy to manage but incredibly effective and beautiful. This property needs a lovely, lively family to care for the home like we have. We have enjoyed every moment of living here and hope that this home can grow with the next owners,” concludes Sue.*
