The countryside surrounding Broomcroft once formed part of an ancient Saxon royal hunting estate, which then persisted as a single landed estate for more than 600 years after the Norman conquest.

This lush tapestry of verdant fields and mature broadleaf woodland is still as extraordinarily beautiful today as it was then, providing a truly gorgeous setting for Broomcroft. Built in the 1950s Broomcroft today is a large, carefully refurbished and unlisted chalet bungalow set in over two and a half acres of mature grounds that resemble a pretty, woodland clearing. The
exterior of the bungalow is covered with painted render and shelters under a slate tiled roof.

The ground floor accommodation fans out from a centrally positioned hall and encompasses three reception rooms, two
double bedrooms and a one-bedroom annexe with its own large, south-facing living room.

Within the roof space are two further double bedrooms. The interior is light and airy with views out across the grounds through large double glazed, white UPVC/timber framed windows. Light, refreshing décor amplifies the available natural light with architectural fittings including extensive timber flooring throughout much of the ground floor, dado and picture rails, exposed roof timbers and beams, plus fireplaces fitted with wood-burning stoves in the drawing and dining rooms.

The kitchen/breakfast room is an excellent size with ample space for a good-sized kitchen table. It has windows on two sides overlooking the garden and is fully fitted with units incorporating a range of built-in electric appliances. Double doors lead through to the adjacent dining room, which has a spectacular timber framed and glazed, south-facing wall overlooking the garden.

This room has sufficient space for separate seating/dining areas forming a family-centric hub immediately next to the
kitchen. The current layout, which includes the south-facing living room in the annexe, could easily be incorporated back
within the rest of the bungalow if desired.

Broomcroft sits well back within its grounds, some distance from the passing road, hidden behind a screen of mature
trees. It is approached via a tarmac drive that crosses over a pretty stream flowing through the grounds before sweeping
around in front of the bungalow to the parking area and triple garage/workshop block.

The block has an attached store behind and a first floor studio reached by an external staircase. Beside the garage block is a single carport with attached log store. The garden is enchanting and sets off the bungalow perfectly. It consists of a sweeping lawn fringed with mature trees and shrubs, some of them exotic, along with slim, richly stocked borders and further scattering of mature flowering shrubs.

On one side of the garden and a short distance from the bungalow is the kitchen garden, which is equipped with a greenhouse and garden store. At the eastern end of the garden is a block of mature woodland containing a pond, that accounts for about 60% of the total acreage. The woodland extends to the property's eastern boundary, effectively screening Broomcroft from its nearest eastern neighbour.

In all garden and grounds amount to about 2.67 acres (1.08 hectares).

Broomcroft is situated on the eastern edge of the hamlet of Doccombe, which has a pretty setting in a partly wooded valley on the north-eastern edge of Dartmoor, within Dartmoor National Park. The nearby small market town of Moretonhampstead relies heavily on tourism and has a fulltime population of only about 1,700. However because of tourism, the town has retained many of its amenities including a selection of local shops and businesses, parish church, four pubs and three cafes plus a wealth of facilities for visitors. In addition, the town hosts a variety of events throughout the year including its annual carnival.

For wider needs the city of Exeter and Exeter Airport are just 30 minutes by car. The town lies on the A382 road, connecting it to the trunk A38 and A30 roads and there are direct rail services from Exeter St Davids to both Paddington and Waterloo.

There is a wide choice of schools in the local area from both the state and independent sectors. Local independent schools include Exeter Cathedral School, The Maynard School and Exeter School.
