Abbotts Park, Cornwood, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21

Sitting in a level corner plot in a pretty hilltop position and commanding outstanding countryside views, this expansive detached bungalow has been largely extended to almost double its original size and presents a superb home in a vibrant village community with space for a large family or even a self-contained annexe.

DESCRIPTION
This substantial detached bungalow offers a great deal of potential, either as a large home for a growing family with a potential five/six bedrooms, or as a three bedroom bungalow with a self-contained, one or two bedroom annexe with its own private garden, parking and access.

Upon entry into the property a bright and welcoming hallway greets you, immediately demonstrates quite how spacious and well presented the home is, and provides a useful cupboard. At the front of the property overlooking a pretty mature garden area is a generously proportioned living room with a feature wood-burning stove and a large window allowing for plenty of natural light to flood in. A door connects the living room with a large formal dining room which is truly perfect for entertaining; housing a large dining table and chairs and also boasting patio doors directly to the southerly facing rear garden. The dining room then nicely links with a sizeable modern kitchen/breakfast room, comprising a range of wall and base units with integrated eye-level oven and grill, alongside an induction hob. Spaces are provided for a free-standing dishwasher and an American-style fridge/freezer. Just off of the kitchen is a useful utility room which provides space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside the oil-fired ‘Navien’ boiler which was replaced in 2025. The utility room has a handy entrance to the front garden area, perfect for those with dogs to take off muddy boots after walking on Dartmoor.

Returning to the entrance hallway and within the original bungalow there are three bedrooms, all of excellent proportions, alongside a modern family bathroom fitted with ‘P’ shaped bath with overhead shower, toilet and basin. At the rear of the property and within the extension are a further two generous rooms, one of which is a large double bedroom and the other is currently arranged as a lounge/diner for the potential annexe, however could become a fifth double bedroom. These rooms are served by a modern shower room comprising walk-in shower, toilet and basin. Finally, at the very rear of the property is a large home office, perfect for those who run their own business or work from home. The office has a private gated entrance, ideal for keeping the business away from the house. The current owners originally purchased the property as a multi-generational home for them and an elderly relative so that they could live together yet separately. They had planned to incorporate the current office space into the annexe, to then create a large living, dining and kitchen area, accompanied by either one or two bedrooms and a shower room.
