A spacious detached bungalow situated in the heart of this thriving village and within a short level walk of the shop, village hall and Church. There are very few bungalows in the village this is one of only 4. The property is now in need of modernisation but offers great space comprising, three good sized bedrooms, kitchen, shower room, spacious hallway and large living/dining room. There is a timber framed conservatory (which needs replacing) which adjoins the kitchen. This offers potential to build an extension where the conservatory currently sits (subject to consents) which would create a lovely, large kitchen/dining room. Windows are all double glazed and mainly in good condition. The property is currently heated by means of electric night storage and other electric heaters.
There is an attached garage with electric roller door and driveway parking for several vehicles. There is an area of open plan garden to the front and an enclosed garden at the back. The property also owns a track beside the house that leads to a paddock belonging to a neighbouring property. The track has to be kept clear but is useful for access into the back garden with machinery or large garden objects.
The property offers a great opportunity for a new owner to create their own mark on this bungalow, within a fantastic community.

About this agent
We are dedicated Licensed Estate Agents with many years industry experience (over 60 years between us!) covering East Devon and West Dorset but occasionally outside these areas if required. We are a small but mighty team of ladies which is something that happened by coincidence, rather than design. Although, we have found it gives us a compassionate edge over some other agents; something that can be invaluable throughout the buying and selling process. We have a passion for property combined with traditional values of service, with an emphasis on excellent communication. We want to match your property to the right buyer and make the whole process as stress free as we can, leaving you with the confidence of being able to recommend our service to others. Our aim: to make estate agency something to be proud of.
