Crockernwell, Exeter £595,000

The property is located between the communities of Crockernwell and Whiddon Down with their excellent access to the A30 dual carriageway heading west towards the beaches of Cornwall and east to the Cathedral City of Exeter (approx 14 miles away) with its road and rail connections to the rest of the country and its international airport. A local bus service also runs to both Okehampton and Exeter which can be hailed from the lane.

The nearby village of Cheriton Bishop is only 2.5 miles distant with its local shop, pub, church, and well regarded surgery. Larger supermarkets and facilities can be found at Okehampton (10 miles to the west) or in Exeter. Dartmoor National Park is also located very close by with its hundreds of square miles of moorland providing opportunities for walking, riding, fishing, and other activities. The property also has close access onto the Two Moors Way footpath running between Devon’s south and north coasts.

The bungalow was built circa 1976 and is of traditional cavity construction. It was built and owned by farmers who also ran a small Caravan Club site on the adjoining field. It is double glazed throughout with oil fired central heating backed up by a woodburner in the Living Room.

Internally it is light and bright with a Living Room overlooking the front garden, a good sized dual aspect Kitchen Diner looking over both the garden and field to the rear and comprising a granite work surface with timber units, space for appliances, electric hob and oven/grill. This provides access out to the Conservatory. There are four bedrooms (Beds 3 and 4 currently have a doorway between them) with some views, a slightly dated bathroom, and a separate shower room. The central heating boiler can be found in the Utility Room with space and plumbing for further appliances and providing access to a Cloakroom and through to the spacious Garage. The property is offered with no upward chain.

A council maintained lane leads to the timber gate providing access into a generous gravelled parking area for a number of vehicles to the front of the Garage. The gardens extend round the front and rear of the property with mainly level lawn with some attractive trees, shrubs and bushes and an open timber store. The gardens are bounded by timber fencing separating it from the adjacent field.

Gates at both sides of the garden lead into the field which mainly runs behind the property and offers some glorious rural views. There is also separate vehicular gate access into the field direct from the council road. The field is currently rented to a local farmer who would be happy to continue this arrangement. The whole plot extends to approximately 5.75 acres divided between the bungalow and gardens (0.4 acres) and the field (5.35 acres).
