Situation - This sizeable bungalow is located in a truly enviable position, occupying a sheltered and private half-acre plot on the very edge of Whitchurch Down, yet outside of Dartmoor National Park. With open moorland on the doorstep immediately beyond the property's gated drive, it is perfectly located for walking or exploring the moors, or for simply enjoying the beautiful scenery which surrounds the town. Tavistock town centre is just over a mile away and there is a bus stop on the Tavistock-Plymouth route within approximately 500m of the property. Tavistock is a thriving market town in West Devon forming part of a designated World Heritage Site, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century, and famed for being the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focussed around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmer's markets are held. Plymouth, some 15 miles to the south, offers extensive amenities with the added attraction of its coastal access and the Mayflower Marina. The cathedral city of Exeter lies some 40 miles to the northeast, providing transport connections to London and the rest of the UK via its railway links and the M5 motorway.

Description - Occupying one of the most desirable locations around the edge of Whitchurch Down, this extremely appealing property has, unsurprisingly, been in the same ownership for over 26 years and is now offered to the market with no onward chain. The bungalow offers approximately 2,174sq.ft of versatile living space, characterised by several large, bright rooms suitable for a variety of uses and lifestyles, including up to four double bedrooms and at least three sizeable reception rooms. Additional potential to extend outwards or upwards, or to remodel the accommodation no doubt also exists, subject to any necessary consents or approvals. The property additionally benefits from a large, mature garden offering good privacy and shelter, plus a gated driveway and detached double garage. This incredibly rare proposition will no doubt appeal to those with a keen interest in the outdoors, including those keen onwalking and exploring. Thosewhose highest priorities otherwise include space and privacy should also take note.

Accommodation - The accommodation is accessed into a central reception hallway, from where there are doors off to most of the principal rooms and a dedicated cloakroom. There are two very large reception rooms - a circa 20'x17' sitting room and a living room of 20'x14.5' - in addition to a conservatory, a separate dining room/fourth double bedroom and a breakfast room adjoining the kitchen, which is also complemented by a separate utility room. Of the three principal bedrooms, there is a master with a shower room en suite, plus two further double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and dresser units, both served by a separate family bathroom. Each of the rooms at the rear of the bungalow enjoy an attractive, verdant outlook over the garden.

Outside - The property is accessed from the top of Chollacott Lane over a short stretch of Whitchurch Down (see our Location Plan). There is a large, gated tarmac drive in front of the bungalow and a detached double garage providing ample parking or storage space. The property's main garden is located at the rear, comprising a large, level lawn surrounded by a range of mature tress and shrubs. To one side is a timber summerhouse and there are steps up from the lawn to a sizeable patio running the length of the bungalow's rear elevation.
