The town offers a wealth of amenities, with most shops and services centred around Fore Street and Glanville’s Mill, the main shopping centre. Residents can enjoy a variety of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, as well as scenic walks along the River Erme which winds through the town centre.
Ivybridge also benefits from a well-equipped leisure centre with a gym, public swimming pool, and squash courts. The area is well served by local schools, with Ivybridge Community College being a highly regarded secondary school.

After 0.3 miles, the property will be situated on the left-hand side, identified by a GTH “For Sale” board.
