Introduction

Laira is a detached bungalow which has been in the same ownership for around 40 years. The property is sat towards the top of the plot with a gently sloping garden, which provides wonderful garden views with open moorland as a backdrop. It is in a superb edge-of-village location that is both private and tranquil. The garden is 0.60 acres, and adjoining it is a grass field of 2.23 acres. The field has its own gated access onto the lane, as well as a pedestrian gate from the garden.

This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a property that is ready for upgrading, along with land within Dartmoor National Park.

The Inside

As you enter the property, you step into the porch, which has the main door into the entrance hallway. From here, there is a WC/shower room on the right. A door on the left of the hall opens into the dining room, which has lots of built-in storage. The room leads into the kitchen, which in turn leads to the utility room. The utility room has a door to the outside.

Back in the entrance hall, there is a door to the spacious living room. This is an ‘L’-shaped room that takes full advantage of the garden and moorland views. It also has a fitted wood burner, and patio doors lead out onto the patio.

To the right of the entrance hall are the bedrooms; there are three bedrooms in total and a bathroom.

The Outside

To the front of the property, there is a gated driveway with a good amount of parking. The driveway stretches the width of the property and rounds to the garages. There are three garages in total, each with an up-and-over door. To the side of the garages, there is a ‘lean-to’ greenhouse, as well as access to the utility room and garden.

The garden is a lovely size and is predominantly laid to lawn. It has established hedges on both sides and a small copse at the bottom. To the far side of the property there is a detached block built detached garden room with double doors. Towards the bottom of the left-hand side, there is a pedestrian gate that takes you into the field.

The field is 2.23 acres and is gently sloping. It has established hedges along its top border to the lane and a separate five-bar gate access on the far side.
