Situation - This appealing bungalow is located in the quiet and unspoilt village of Harrowbarrow. Harrowbarrow is located within an easy distance of Callington and Tavistock, and is on the very edge of the Tamar Valley AONB, providing excellent opportunities to walk and explore the region's rich heritage. Harrowbarrow is serviced by a post office and a school, with neighbouring villages having an excellent range of facilities and amenities including shops, fuel stations, as well as an Asda mini market and several pubs. Gunnislake train station is around 2 miles away and provides a connection to the City of Plymouth. Tavistock is a thriving market town with a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities. Plymouth is 15 miles to the south and the city of Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing transport to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links and the M5.

Description - This well-built and well-rounded detached bungalow, of cavity masonry construction, is now offered to the market chain-free, having been built in 1981 by the family of the current owners and having never previously been offered for sale. The three double bedroomed accommodation is very well-proportioned with each of the rooms being bright, square and clearly having been well maintained as a cherished home for over 40 years. As one would expect, the property is now in need of modernisation but offers tremendous scope, potentially for an extension or conversion of the loft space. The bungalow is complemented externally by an enclosed, level lawn garden at the rear and has the added benefit of a larger-than-average integral garage within a gated tarmac driveway.

Accommodation - The property is accessed off the front elevation beneath a canopied porch into a central reception hallway, from where there are doors to each of the rooms. The sitting room, located at the rear of the bungalow, is a bright dual-aspect room centred around an open fireplace on a tiled hearth, with a large picture window overlooking the rear garden. Adjacent is the kitchen, which is equipped with a range of wall-mounted and base-level cupboards and cabinets to two walls with roll-top work surfaces that incorporate a 1.5-bowl stainless-steel and drainer, with spaces beneath the counter for a dishwasher and fridge, in addition to a separate space for a freestanding electric cooker. The kitchen also benefits from a side door that leads out to the gardens, and a serving hatch through to the dining room which is located to the front of the bungalow and enjoys a dual aspect, allowing for plenty of natural light. Along the reception hallway is an airing cupboard, a separate linen cupboard, three double bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom is located to the rear of the property and enjoys an attractive outlook over the garden towards neighbouring pasture fields. The second bedroom faces the front aspect and the third faces the rear, complete with a fitted wardrobe. The bathroom features an original 4-piece suite. Off the hallway, there is also internal access to the integral garage which is 1.5-width and accessed via a remote-controlled up-and-over door. The garage also benefits from power and lighting, with spaces for plumbed appliances, plus access to the property's loft space.

Outside - The property is approached at the front over a tarmacked driveway which leads to the front door and integral garage. There is parking on the driveway for a couple of vehicles with additional parking outside of the gates in a designated roadside bay. There are deep-planted borders to the front of the bungalow and pathways that lead around either side to the rear garden. The rear garden is mainly level and laid to lawn, and there is a concrete patio running the length of the rear of the bungalow. The property also enjoys an open aspect at the rear and across neighbouring pasture fields. Undoubtably, the garden offers a huge amount of potential and a blank canvas for any keen horticulturist.
