Description:

This architecturally designed bungalow (Crooks and Spackman, Tavistock) was built in 1983 and is cleverly designed to maximise expansive views of the garden from almost every aspect of the property. The bungalow is approached via a private lane, directly off Down Road and is accessed via electric gates for vehicular access or via the pedestrian gate onto the block paved driveway.  The layout of the bungalow offers three "wings" that give space to the bedrooms, the main living areas and the Kitchen and Entertaining area which add to the feeling of space that the property offers. The bungalow is immaculately presented with engineered oak flooring throughout the hallway and main living areas that add to the "flow" of the property and as all reception rooms and the Kitchen/Entertaining room have either French or patio doors that provide a wonderful feeling of light to the accommodation.  The landscaped gardens are laid to lawn with mature shrub borders, a Kitchen Garden area for vegetable growing and a large outside seating area for al fresco dining. Internally and externally, this property offers a fantastic home.
