Nearby is the start of the Granite Way and Fernworthy Down, providing excellent walking and riding. The Granite Way also provides a cycle path to Okehampton.

Lydford is conveniently located midway between the market towns of Tavistock and Okehampton, which lie approximately eight and nine miles respectively. Okehampton on the northern edge of Dartmoor National Park, is approximately 30 miles from both the north and south Devon coasts and offers excellent access to the A30 road network. Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of Dartmoor National Park with a bustling pannier market and an award-winning farmers’ market.

Between them Okehampton and Tavistock provide a wealth of independent local shops, restaurants, and cafes as well as several national supermarkets, chain stores and banks. Primary and secondary education is well catered for with both state and private education. As well as giving access to more superb beauty spots, recreation is well catered for, including parks, swimming pools, tennis courts, bowling clubs, an indoor rifle range, thriving rugby and soccer clubs and both towns have an 18-hole golf course.

The property is a traditionally- built detached bungalow, constructed in the 1920’s and therefore enjoys period features of this era, such as high ceilings and bay windows. The accommodation, which needs some updating and modernisation, comprises of a modern PVCu, L-shaped entrance porch, which in turn, leads into a long, spacious hallway. From here, doors enter a triple-aspect sitting room, with window to both sides and an attractive bay window to the front, offering an abundance of natural light. There is also a brick-built open fireplace.
Further doors lead to three very good-sized bedrooms, with the main bedroom being particularly spacious and triple aspect. Both the main and second bedroom have fitted wash hand basins, making the addition of ensuite bathrooms, a much easier proposition. There is also a family bathroom.
Moving through the property, there is a formal dining room, with a further open fireplace; a breakfast room, with oil-fired Rayburn and an oil-fired boiler, which powers the central heating and hot water; a small kitchen, which could be opened through to the breakfast room, to make a lovely kitchen/dining room. Beyond the kitchen, is a rear porch, giving access to the rear garden and outbuilding. There is also an outside WC, ideal for use whilst enjoying the garden. There is also a cellar, with power and lighting, which is accessed externally via a small wooden door.
The property has oil-fired central heating and double glazing to all the external windows.
Moving to the outside, the property is approached via the Moorgate, which in turn leads to a gated private lane, shared by Moorings and one other immediate neighbour. The property has a single garage/store. There are extensive gardens to the property, offering a great deal of privacy and seclusion. There are a wide range of native ferns, trees and shrubs within the garden and there are glimpses of far-reaching reach of the surrounding countryside.
To the rear of the property is a useful outbuilding, measuring 3.3m x 2.03m, which currently houses the oil tank for the central heating.
