4 bedroom bungalow for sale

Spacious home with annexe, countryside views and paddock.

Description

Set in a wonderful, elevated position within the sought after village of Hellidon, Applecross commands impressive views over surrounding rolling countryside. The well-presented property offers spacious single level living with an additional annexe and totals about 1.6 acres including a paddock with road frontage and possible development potential, subject to planning permission. The versatile accommodation is deceptively spacious.

A generous hall with ample storage leads into a spacious and wonderfully light sitting room with bi-fold doors on to the terrace and fireplace with wood burner. Access from the sitting room is a dual aspect dining room with doors onto the terrace. The triple aspect kitchen / breakfast room features a walk in pantry, fitted wall and base units with a large island unit / breakfast bar, two sinks and a separate utility area with back door. Both receptions rooms and the kitchen benefit from impressive views. There is also a cloakroom and walk in airing cupboard.

There are three double bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms and one with a dressing room, with fitted shelves and hanging rails, and an en-suite bathroom.

Adjoining the kitchen, with a separate entrance at the front of the property, is a further wing of accommodation that can either be integrated as part of the house or used as an annexe. It also benefits from splendid, far reaching views and comprises a hallway, room for a WC, generous dual aspect sitting room with doors into the garden, a kitchen with fitted units, a double bedroom and an en suite wet room.

Double gates lead to a gravel drive providing ample off street parking for several cars and a double garage with electric roller shutter doors and loft storage area with loft ladder. To the rear and side of the house is a generous terrace with wonderful views over the paddock, which forms part of the property, and onto beautiful countryside. The rest of the enclosed, landscaped garden includes lawn and flower beds.

Accessed both from the driveway and a separate road access is a grassland paddock running down the hill, which extends to about 1.3 acres. This has road frontage, is currently grazed by sheep and would work well as a pony paddock. It has also been planted with several fruit trees. Part of the paddock could have development potential, subject to necessary planning permissions.
