SITUATION This fine property is situated within the village of Sourton offering excellent access to Okehampton, Tavistock and the A30 road network and with a southerly aspect and delightful moorland views.
The village of Sourton sits on the boundary of the western boundaries of the Dartmoor National Park. The village is served by a historic parish church and the very interesting Highwayman Public House. It is also on a regular bus route and access to the A30 dual carriageway and garage services is literally a short drive away at Sourton Down which in turn provides easy access to the Cathedral City of Exeter and on to the M5. The local town of Okehampton lies approximately 6 miles east of the property while Exeter is approximately 30 miles east.
The nearby village of Bridestowe is a pretty, West Country village situated at the head of the Lew Valley at the northwestern foothills of the Dartmoor National Park and surrounded by some of Devon’s finest countryside. The village centre incorporates a well patronised general store, public house, church and primary school.
Okehampton is situated on the northern edge of Dartmoor National Park. It is approximately 30 miles from both the north and south Devon coasts and offers excellent access to the A30/M5 road network. There is an hourly train service to Exeter, with connections to national destinations from Exeter St. Davids. Nearby are superb local beauty spots where one may enjoy walking, riding and fishing. The shopping area contains a bank and supermarkets, including Waitrose, as well as many interesting locally owned shops. Primary and secondary education is well catered for in local schools. The recreation ground and park contains, amongst other things, a covered heated swimming pool. Most sports are available including 18-hole golf course, squash courts, indoor rifle range and thriving rugby and soccer clubs. The cathedral city of Exeter lies 22 miles to the East with an abundance of high street stores and the region's main airport.
DESCRIPTION Originally built in the 1960's and of standard construction, this detached 3-bedroom bungalow is very well-presented throughout. It has been substantially improved over the last few years, by the sellers, with work including replacement roofs; replacement of the central heating system and boiler; full electrical re-wiring; replacement PVCu double glazed windows and porch and the installations of two multi-fuel burners.
The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall; a dual aspect lounge with moorland views; a dining room again with moorland views; kitchen; cloakroom; large utility room; shower room; separate cloakroom and three bedrooms.

There are extensive, wrap-around garden, set mainly to well-tended lawns and flower bed borders. There is also a sizeable and productive vegetable plot.
A great feature of the property is the range of outbuildings, which include block- built kennels, an open store and a further block building, which is currently used as a workshop and store, yet could easily be converted into stables, with a rear yard. There is power, lighting and water connected.
From the rear yard, gates leads into paddocks of approximately 3.1 acres. This is good quality grazing land, with the huge benefit of immediate access to Dartmoor and to the well-acclaimed Granite Way Cycle Track.
There is additional gated, vehicular access to the fields next to the village hall and car park.
