Situation - The property occupies an elevated, south facing position in the sought-after village of Longdown and benefits from far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and further towards Exeter. The village has a vibrant community with a popular pub and village hall. It is only 2 miles from St Thomas, a suburb of Exeter which has a good range of day-to-day facilities, whilst the centre of Exeter is only 4 miles away. Longdown has excellent access to the A30 dual carriageway and is only a short distance from the fringes of the Dartmoor National Park.
Description - Milfra was built by Francis Edwin Voysey a master builder in circa 1941 on a field named 3 Counties Meadow which originally was part of a farm called Aldenham. The bungalow, which was refurbished in 2003, provides spacious accommodation of nearly 2,000 sq ft over two floors. The ground floor provides a dual aspect kitchen breakfast room, sitting room with conservatory, two double bedrooms one of which has an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. The first floor provides two double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower.
To the front of the property is a glorious terraced garden and to the rear is a large level lawn with an array of fruit trees. At the entranceway of the property is a garage and a range of useful outbuildings.
Accommodation - A path from the parking area leads to a paved terrace with a door leading into a central entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. To the left is a utility room with wall mounted units, a separate WC, and doors leading out to the terrace and into the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has modern wall and floor mounted units and an integrated cooker, hob and well-designed breakfast bar. The breakfast room has French doors leading out to the garden making the most of the beautiful rural views. The dual aspect sitting room has an electric fireplace and doors leading to the south facing terrace and into an octagonal conservatory. To the right of the entrance hallway is a south-facing double bedroom with en suite bathroom, separate double bedroom and a family bathroom.
Stairs rise to a first floor landing with storage cupboard. Off the landing is a double bedroom, triple aspect master bedroom and a separate shower room.

Pathways on either side of the property lead to the south-facing landscaped garden with Japanese themed feature pond with waterfall, summerhouse, seating areas and pathway leading down to a beautiful hydrangea border with steps down to a front gate.
Outbuildings - To the side of the parking area is a brick built garage with an attached potting shed to the right and a large storage room to the left. These buildings have potential for further development subject to gaining the necessary permissions.
