Description - This detached three-bedroom bungalow is set within 3.22 acres of gardens and grounds, nestled in an elevated position between the Otter and Exe Valleys. Sheltered by mature trees and hedges, the property offers far-reaching views in both directions.

Believed to have been constructed in the 1950s, the bungalow is partially built from breeze block concrete and rendered under a tiled roof (with cavity walls). It was extended in the late 1980s, adding a spacious third bedroom and an additional hallway built with cavity wall construction. Prospective buyers are advised to consult with a mortgage broker to discuss the property and their individual circumstances. The bungalow now presents an opportunity for improvement or potential enlargement, subject to the necessary consents.

All three bedrooms and the bathroom are situated off the hallway and overlook the nearly level gardens. The adjoining open-plan sitting room and dining room feature a fireplace with a wood burner and patio doors that open onto the rear garden. A single skin conservatory, currently used as a boot room and utility space, leads into the compact kitchen.

Grounds And Paddock - The driveway winds through the front garden, passing by the bungalow and leading to a spacious parking and turning area. This area sits beside a timber-framed, open-fronted outbuilding (8.43m x 5.83m), currently utilized as a garage. Adjacent to it, you'll find a block-built kennel with a galvanized roof.

The generous, nearly level garden is predominantly laid to lawn and features a charming orchard and a thriving kitchen garden. The informal gardens extend around three sides of the bungalow, offering a blend of cultivated and natural beauty.

Beyond the garden lies an adjoining paddock, gently sloping to the west. The paddock is bordered by mature hedges and with impressive oak trees.
