5 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Christopher’s South Hams are delighted to present this substantial 5-bedroom bungalow set in just over 1 acre of grounds and in this highly sought after moorland village.

Description - Sitting in an elevated position, Thorn Court commands exquisite panoramic views to the south and seamlessly blends into its own landscape. A covered porch invites you into the bungalow which has been expertly designed to separate living and sleeping accommodation. The hugely impressive sitting/dining room immediately draws you in, boasting a triple aspect and absorbing the south facing views from all angles. The immaculate modern kitchen/breakfast room which has been recently updated sits adjacent with external access to a patio area. Following the entrance hallway guides you to the 5 double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from a beautiful ensuite shower room and extensive built in wardrobes. A second bedroom also has integrated storage. There is a luxurious family bathroom and a second well-appointed shower room as well. A handy utility area leads into the integral double garage and workshop where there is also light and power connected. Outside, Thorn Court is approached by a private and gated driveway which rises and curves around to a level parking area for several vehicles. Just under 1.2 acres of manicured lawns sweep around the bungalow interspersed by mature shrubs and trees and all the while dominated by the stunning views. Tucked up high, you have your own private piece of paradise and due to the remarkable size of plot, there would be scope for further development subject to the relevant consents. An absolute ‘must-see’.
