Situation & Amenities - Parkside Barn nestles betwixt the small South Hams village of Sparkwell and the old stannary town of Plympton.
Sparkwell gives superb access to the Dartmoor National Park and South Devon coastline as well as playing host to a church, parish hall, nursery and primary school. If you listen carefully you may hear the lions roar with the Dartmoor Zoo on your doorstep or enjoy a treat at the nearby Welbeck Manor Country Hotel and Golf built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Richly steeped in history, nearby Plympton is sited on an ancient trackway called ‘the Ridgeway’ from Dartmoor with its earliest surviving documentary reference coming from an Anglo-Saxon charter reading ‘Plymentun’ deriving from the adjective plymen meaning ‘growing with plum-trees’, or ‘Plum-tree farm’. Alternative derivations suggest a possible relationship to the Latin plombum which means ‘tin’ and may be a nod to the town’s history as an important trading centre for locally mined tin. Today, Plympton sits in the shadow of the now ruined Norman motte-and-bailey castle that still dominates the landscape. The town in general retains its medieval street pattern and together with a number of historic buildings, variety of architecture as well as the nearby Iron Age hill fort of Boringdon Camp, there are details all around to attest to the town’s varying past. Plympton now offers a bustling hub with a wealth of amenities including retail, primary and secondary schools, healthcare services, leisure facilities, sports clubs, pubs and cafes and places of worship which altogether manages to preserve a village feel for this ever-developing town.
The renowned Ivybridge Community College offers a free bus service from the end of this home’s driveway and additional excellent transport links give access to the larger surrounding towns and vibrant waterfront city of Plymouth.
