The property

A fantastic smallholding and it’s ideal if you want that rural location but need to quickly get to Tavistock or Okehampton or head further into Devon or Cornwall.

Sitting on just over 5 acres in total with a long driveway leading to formal gardens, outbuildings, garage and a further garage/workshop. Gently sloping land from the west and your first sight on the detached bungalow with its large conservatory to the front will make you excitingly curious.

Within the bungalow which is accessed through the conservatory, through to a central dining room and then a central hallway. From the dining room are two bedrooms (one of which could make a good study). From the hallway is a spacious kitchen/diner, the main bedroom and a large living room.

At the end of the hallway is a bathroom and a door out to the rear.

Internally the property requires updating and/or remodelling but the current footprint is more than adequate at approximately 113 sq metres (1222 sq feet). There is huge potential (subject to planning permission) to extend the bungalow or redesign to an individual’s requirements.

Gardens and outside

The formal gardens and paddock really do offer the best of both worlds. Approached from a tarmac drive which sweeps around to the two garage buildings and parking for numerous vehicles.

The formal gardens have been a labour of love in the past and offers keen gardeners a paradise of space within the hedged gardens to create your forever garden. There are level lawns, a small orchard and the potential to bring a large vegetable patch and fruit trees back to life.

The tarmac driveway leads to the front to a garage/workshop with power and lights connected with internal stud walls and to the right of the property is a block built garage with double doors. Paths lead around the property with two further timber garden sheds and a block built coal shed.

There’s plenty of driveway parking for numerous vehicles, a trailer, a motor-home or horse boxes. There is space and access to the left and to the front garage/workshop to extend the driveway and parking, then providing close access to the paddock.

The enclosed gently sloping paddock (of approx 4.5 acres) extends from the property and easily accessible and visible. Subject to consents there is suitable room to create stabling, tack rooms, an American Barn or further outbuildings.
