DESCRIPTION This extremely well-appointed, detached bungalow has been in our client's ownership for over a decade, and has been both extended and comprehensively modernised during that time. It now offers some extremely warm and comfortable accommodation amounting to some 1260sq.ft, characterised by bright and well-presented rooms, most of which benefit from the far-reaching views to the rear of the property. Complimenting the property externally are beautifully planted gardens to both the front and rear, as well as patio seating areas, a double timber summerhouse and a detached garage within a gated driveway.
ACCOMMODATION The property is accessed at the font through an enclosed porch into the central hallway, from where there are doors off to each of the principal rooms. The sitting room is a very good size and has been extended twice at the rear in order to take full advantage of the wonderful views, through the addition of both a sun room and, more recently, a triple-aspect conservatory with two sets of patio doors leading out to the rear gardens. These additional living areas enhance the accommodation and provide useable living space in both the warmer and colder months. Off the entrance hall, the kitchen is equipped with a good range of tasteful cupboards and cabinets to two walls, incorporating an eye-level integral Hotpoint double oven, 4-ring gas hob and with space beneath the counter for a dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room with spaces for the laundry appliances as well as for a full-height fridge/freezer. To one side of the utility is a cloakroom with WC and wash basin, and an external open porch leading to the driveway or to the garden. The bungalow offers two double bedrooms, the larger of which enjoys again the fabulous views at the rear and is complete with full-height sliding wardrobes along its depth. The shower room is fitted with a three-piece suite to include a WC, wash basin and a double-width shower enclosure with a rain-style shower head. There may be the potential for a prospective buyer to extend the accommodation again, either outwards or upwards into the loft, subject to any necessary consents or approvals.
OUTSIDE The property is approached at the front through a gated entrance into an enclosed driveway where there is sufficient parking space for a couple of vehicles, and access to the single garage (please note, the garage is not accessible to a full width vehicle). The plot is very well established with mature hedging on all sides, providing a good degree of privacy. There is a well-kept lawn garden to the front of the bungalow whilst the principle gardens are at the rear, providing another area of extremely well-maintained lawn, planted with some colourful and flowering shrubs and specimen plants, including rose bushes, camellias and an acer. Also found within the garden is a double timber summerhouse with power and lighting. The rear garden enjoys an excellent degree of peace, privacy and shelter, and also a captivating outlook over neighbouring fields towards Dartmoor.
