Woodlands, Dousland

For Sale by Informal Tender, a 4-bedroom detached bungalow for refurbishment, in a desirable, edge-of-village location, complete with sizeable front and rear gardens, a garage and gated drive. No Onward Chain; Freehold; Council Tax Band: E; EPC Band: D.

Situation - This well-rounded and appealing home is positioned in a private and peaceful location in the highly sought-after Dartmoor village of Dousland. Open moorland is available within 500 yards, at Yennadon Down, leading on to the full expanse of the moors, and the property is also in close proximity of Burrator Reservoir, a well-known local beauty spot and nature reserve. The property is within extremely easy reach of Plymouth city and commutable distance of both Derriford Hospital and the city's schooling options, whilst also being within proximity of Yelverton and the popular market town of Tavistock.

The village of Dousland has a popular public house and benefits from a central bus connection, whilst the desirable village of Yelverton is 1.5 miles away, providing an excellent range of day-to-day amenities, with its parade of shops featuring a mini-supermarket, local butchers, delicatessen, café and pharmacy, whilst the village also has a GP Surgery, Texaco fuel station, Post Office and Veterinary Surgery, as well as a selection of eateries and a popular Free House, The Rock Inn. For the sports enthusiast, there are golf, cricket, tennis and bowling clubs.

Description - We are delighted to present to the market this individual 4-bedroom bungalow, which is for sale, chain-free, for the first time since its construction, circa 1961.

The internal accommodation is characterised by bright, square rooms which are in need of general modernisation and refurbishment but offer considerable potential for alteration, remodelling or extension - either outwards or upwards - subject to any necessary consents or approvals. Externally, the bungalow is complemented by some very well-established front and rear gardens which also offer considerable scope, and have the added benefit of an open rear aspect, ensuring excellent peace and privacy. This is a rare and very appealing opportunity to create a home of one's choosing, in a very strong location.

Accommodation - The property is accessed either via a side door directly into the hallway or, more commonly, from the driveway, where there is a covered entrance connecting the garage to the kitchen. The layout is something of a blank canvas, being briefly summarised as follows: a dual-aspect sitting room overlooking the front garden; the kitchen/dining room, which has some original fitted units and a walk-in pantry; a wet room, and; four bedrooms, of which all have fitted wardrobes and three are doubles, including two overlooking the rear garden.

Outside - The property is approached over a gated tarmac driveway leading to the garage, which has power and lighting. The property’s front and rear gardens are an undoubted highlight, being well-stocked and thoughtfully planned, and offering excellent potential for keen horticulturists as well as those with active families. The front garden features a wildlife pond and a timber footbridge, whilst the rear garden has an open aspect onto a neighbouring field, and is planted with colourful, mature shrubbery including several rose bushes and an apple tree.

Services - Mains water, drainage and electricity. Oil-fired central heating throughout. Superfast broadband is available. Limited mobile voice/data services are available (source: Ofcom's online service checker). Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
