3 bedroom house

A detached three bedroom bungalow in leafy private grounds of approximately 0.4 of an acre in one of Tavistock’s most desirable areas.



SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

A sizeable, detached bungalow sited within a plot of around 0.4 acres and located in one of Tavistock’s most desirable roads, which is convenient for the town, while also close to open moorland.

Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park and was in 2004 voted the winner of a nationwide survey undertaken by the Council for the Protection of Rural England involving 120 other market towns. Among the assets taken into consideration were history, architecture, community spirit, planning sensitivity, recreational facilities and individuality of shops and businesses. Additional facilities include a hospital, a bustling Pannier Market, and a full range of schools both State and Private. Indeed, Tavistock can claim to have everything adding up to a quality of life which would be hard to rival.

Plymouth is only 15 miles away with fast Inter City rail links to London, Bristol, and the North. There are also ferry services to Roscoff, Brittany and Santander, Northern Spain.

Built we understand in around the mid 1950’s by reputable local builders and offered to the market with no onward chain. The bungalow is approached by a gated driveway which does offer considerable off-road parking and hard standing for many vehicles, plus a detached double garage.

The property is light and offers large windows in most living rooms, including sliding patio door out to the rear gardens, ideal for when entertaining family and friends. The accommodation comprises, porch, reception hall, cloakroom, modern shower room, three bedrooms, sitting room, which opens to a dining room, kitchen, utility and larder. There is scope, subject to planning permission, for extensions with the gardens not being significantly impacted.

The bungalow has a fitted kitchen with integral appliances including a dual oven fitted in 2021. There is a Neff dishwasher and Zanussi gas hob, plus further space for a fridge freezer. Off the kitchen is a useful original larder, which has power points, and a utility with space for washing machine and tumble dryer. The utility also houses the gas meter, electrics (inspected in Jan 2021) and the water stopcock. The sitting room and dining room both look out to the rear garden which provides a lovely sense of space.
Internally the home is in good order and is warmed with central heating via a Worcester gas boiler installed in 2021. The property is double glazed and benefits from further insulation measures in the loft space which is also part boarded with a light. There are many telephone and television points throughout the living room and the bedrooms. There is good storage with fitted cupboards in two bedrooms and the inner hallway where there is an airing cupboard with slatted shelving and a radiator.

OUTSIDE
Gardens flank the driveway, which in turn leads to the courtyard and rear garden between the double garage and the kitchen door. The courtyard has an outside tap and sink plus a log/coal store. The rear garden is attractive and private, with a leafy boundary and level lawns. A patio runs along the rear elevation which has a south and westerly aspect. The gardens offer a variety of shrubs and trees plus attractive flowers through the seasons.
