3 bedroom bungalow for sale

A detached 1920’s bungalow, located on the western edge of Dartmoor National Park, offering beautiful gardens, sweeping gated driveway, garden studio/summer house, detached garage, and modern interior. Situated yards from the moors and ideal for connecting to nearby villages, towns, and Plymouth City.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Built in the 1920’s, this traditional bungalow offers balanced accommodation, ideal for those who enjoy the moors but without being disconnected.

The property is approached from a gated driveway that opens to a parking area in front and to the side of the home, flanked by an attractive front garden with colourful shrubs and stone chipping paths. The front garden keeps the bungalow secluded and hidden from view. To the southern boundary is a detached garage which is also used as a workshop and store. The rear gardens have been beautifully landscaped and step up to two main areas. Thoughtfully designed and realised by the current owners, the garden has areas to relax and entertain, with a large patio, stone chippings, level lawn, tended trees and planted borders. The garden studio, set centrally in the grounds, offers mains power and lighting, and is currently used for creating works of art. The garden rises again to a hidden section which runs the length of the bottom boundary. This area has raised herb beds, fishpond and vegetable boxes, framed with a dense hedgerow, stone wall boundary and arches, providing a productive and sunny oasis. There is also a further area where there is a shed, greenhouse, compost bins and open shelter. The outdoor space of this bungalow is truly perfect for those who love gardening.

The interior opens to a long porch, which gets the best of the evening sun and looks out to the front. The inner hall has doors off to the main living rooms and kitchen. The open plan living/dining room has a wood burning stove and a bay window which in turn opens to an area which currently has a large dining table, perfect for entertaining friends and family. The kitchen is modern in style and benefits from a window looking out to the rear. The kitchen leads to a useful and good size utility room with a toilet. The utility is placed at the rear of the house and is good for hanging coats and removing boots after walks on the moor. There is a further lounge, which separates the living areas from the bedrooms, with a fireplace, and provides a nice space to withdraw to. There are three bedrooms, one with an ensuite, plus a further family bathroom, all of which are tastefully finished.

The property is warmed not only from the wood burning stove but an oil-fired central heating system, fuelled from an external boiler. There is also PVCu double glazed windows and doors, plus further insulation in the loft. We have been advised the property has a small brick cavity, traditional of the time of construction. The dining area in the living room is an extension which was added by the previous owner.
