SITUATION This hugely appealing, detached bungalow is situated in an enviable, picturesque location on the edge of Lydford, on the western fringe of Dartmoor National Park. The beautiful scenery of Lydford Forest and the Lyd Valley is nearby, and open moorland is accessible just over half a mile away to the east.
Lydford is an unspoilt, historic village on the western fringe of Dartmoor National Park, centred around a medieval castle which was passed to the care of English Heritage in 1932. The village offers two highly regarded pubs, an Ofsted "Good"-rated primary school, a village hall, a popular farm shop and the Granite Trail cycleway, and also boasts the delightful Lydford Gorge, a National Trust property with its famous waterfall.
Nearby Tavistock (8 miles) and Okehampton (9 miles) provide an excellent range of shopping, recreational, and educational facilities. The A30 is accessible within 7 miles at Sourton, and Exeter - around 25 miles further on - offers air, rail, and motorway links to London and beyond.
DESCRIPTION Offered to the market, chain-free, for the first time in over 30 years, this 2/3-bedroom detached bungalow has been maintained in very good condition and offers bright, comfortable accommodation with a great deal of potential. The bungalow sits centrally within a good-sized plot, and is in need of some modernisation in places, but offers the space and scope for an incoming owner to remodel or extend the existing dwelling to suit their tastes and requirements, subject to any necessary consents. The property benefits from attractive front and rear gardens, ample off-road parking on a gated drive and a detached garage/workshop.
ACCOMMODATION The bungalow is accessed into an entrance porch, which in turn leads into a central hallway with separate airing and coats/boots cupboards, from where the accommodation is comprised as follows: a dual-aspect sitting room centred around a tiled open fireplace, enjoying an attractive outlook over the front garden; a separate dining room or third bedroom, which has a former fireplace surround; the kitchen, which is currently equipped with a good range of cupboards and cabinets with roll-edged worktops and spaces for several appliances beneath the counter, plus a walk-in pantry, built-in New World electric oven and 4-ring induction hob; two double bedrooms, both dual-aspect and overlooking the rear garden, and fitted with bult-in double wardrobes, and; a half-tiled shower room finished with a 3-piece suite to include a vanity washbasin, WC and double shower enclosure with Mira electric shower.
OUTSIDE The bungalow is approached at the front via a tarmac driveway providing tandem parking for several vehicles, flanked on both sides by established lawns with mature shrubbery and well-stocked planted borders. The drive continues along the side of the property to the rear, where there is a detached garage and workshop with power and lighting, an up-and-over door, workbenches to the rear and a gardener's WC. The rear garden is level, enclosed and principally laid to lawn, enjoying a very good degree of privacy and an open aspect across fields to the rear.
