Westgate, Lapford, EX17

Lapford is one of the larger villages in Mid Devon, there’s a great community with a pub, shop/petrol station and both bus and rail links to Crediton/Exeter and Barnstaple. Westgate is fairly central and a mix of smaller houses and bungalows with some simply stunning views to Dartmoor on the horizon.

The property is a two bedroom, mid terraced house occupying a lovely plot with some great views to the south. The layout offers a living room with woodburner at the front and then a modern kitchen/dining room at the rear. The kitchen was updated in the last couple of years and offers plenty of space to entertain plus a useful utility cupboard keeps some white goods out of the kitchen. On the first floor are the two bedrooms, the master bedroom with those stunning views and an updated bathroom with a white suite and includes a separate shower and bath. The whole house has uPVC double glazing, the loft is partly boarded and there’s cavity wall insulation. The woodburner in the living room provides heating and the current owners use electric heaters if needed (rarely) in the winter.

Outside at the front is a lawned garden with some planted beds. The shared pathways lead to the front door (shared with neighbours) and then to the rear is a good-sized garden which is mainly laid to lawn. Again there are some planted beds and a timber shed.

LAPFORD is a hillside village overlooking the river Yeo. It has a past reaching back to the Iron Age and a grade I listed church that was rebuilt and extended in the 12 century by Sir William De Tracey as penance for his part in the of Thomas Becket. Several options are available for socialising including the Malt Scoop pub, Lapford Mill café, and several outside spaces for children to play and where events are held. Further out of the village on the A377 is the petrol station with convenience store. For a larger selection of independent shops, bigger supermarkets Crediton is 9 miles away. Nearby is Lapford station, a request stop on the scenic Tarka Line running between Barnstaple and Exeter. And for those seeking the fresh air, about a mile away is Eggesford Forest, home to the very first trees planted by the Forestry Commission which offers numerous plantations for walkers, riders, and cyclists.
