NO ONWARD CHAIN -An individual detached bungalow, which has never seen the open market, benefits from a generous plot and SOUTH FACING GARDEN. This home is situated a short walk from amenities, yards from the bus stop and near footpaths of the Tamar Valley.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

An extended detached bungalow with a good size garden that encompasses the property. The property is offered with no onward chain and has been owned by the same family since it was constructed in the 1950’s. The home is warmed by an oil-fired boiler, which was installed in 2014, PVCu windows and door, plus insulation measure in the walls and loft. The conservatory is entered via the living/dining room, creating a versatile room that benefits from the south aspect overlooking the garden and making it ideal for enjoying the best of the sunshine. The conservatory has been further improved with modern windows/door fitted in 2010. The main living rooms are on the south side of the property and gain natural light through the day. There are also views across the village from the front, looking out to the distant hills around the Tamar Valley. The sitting room has a bay window, open fireplace, and dual aspect. The two double bedrooms are of good size with both rooms offering ample room for bedroom furniture. The entrance hall is a particular feature of the property and opens to all the rooms, including the bathroom which has a large cupboard for linens and a hot water cylinder. There is also an entrance porch, with a new entrance door and window, helping energy efficiency and security. To the rear of the home is the kitchen with fitted worktops and storage area with a larder cupboard; there are views out to the main gardens and a door to the utility room and WC.
There is a garage attached with an up and over door and pedestrian door and is an ideal size for a hobby room and workshop but does require attention. The property is set in a plot approximating 0.20 acres and approached from a driveway with double gates; the garden is mainly laid to lawn with established shrubs and trees.
