4 bedroom house

A delightfully positioned country bungalow in need of improvement, with good stabling and 8.5 acres. 4 bedrooms. Attached outbuildings with potential for annexe. Glorious rural views. Gently sloping pasture. No onward chain. EPC Band E.

Situation - The property is situated in a rural location just over a mile from the village of Ideford which has a pub, garage and a church. It is however less than 2 miles from the A380 ensuring excellent access to the M5 to the north and Torbay to the south. Newton Abbot with its extensive range of facilities and main line rail station is only 5 miles away whilst the city of Exeter is 13 miles distant. The coastal town of Teignmouth is 5 miles away.

Description - Homefield occupies a fine, somewhat elevated position, with useful stabling, outbuildings and quality pasture and is perfect therefore as an equestrian unit but equally could be used for smallholding purposes.
 
The bungalow, which is believed to have been built in the early 1970s, occupies a primarily south facing location and enjoys attractive views, particularly to the east and north. The property is in need of upgrading or remodelling and indeed, parties may be interested in taking a more radical view regarding the dwelling due to its great location and subject to the necessary consents.

Accommodation - Entrance to the bungalow is gained via steps leading into a rear hall off which is a good size kitchen/ breakfast room with an oil fired Rayburn for cooking and central heating, a range of cupboards and drawers, sink, electric cooker. Off the inner hallway access is gained to the good sized dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace, conservatory with attractive views and utility room. At the other end of the bungalow are four double bedrooms, three of which enjoy a southerly aspect and fine views, and a family bathroom and separate wc. Attached to bungalow and at a lower level are three further rooms being part of a former garage; two rooms of which previously have been used as an annexe, with a shower and wc facilities.

The Gardens - There is parking at the rear of the bungalow which then leads down to an area with further parking / potential garaging. The gardens which are mainly on the south side of the bungalow are primarily laid to lawn and enjoy fabulous 180 degree views.

Buildings & Land - The stables have excellent vehicular access which is in a different location to the bungalow. They have been let in recent years for livery purposes. They comprise six concrete block loose boxes ( 12’ x 10’) configured in an ‘L’ shape around a central concrete yard. Adjoining is a mainly timber building (50'x 32') within which is a tack room, workshop and gardener's loo. Further outbuilding (40' x 30') and adjoining store (30' x 9').
 
The land is arranged in five paddocks below the bungalow and stables and provides excellent grazing and has a long road frontage. In total the property amounts to about 8.5 acres.

Services - Mains electricity to bungalow (and stables). Private borehole water supply (pumped up to a reservoir by the stables and then gravity fed). Private drainage.

After a further 0.30 of a mile fork right at the bottom of the hill signposted Hestowe.
