Dousland, Yelverton

Close to OPEN MOORS in grounds approaching 0.31 ACRES, a DETACHED BUNGALOW that has been recently renovated enjoying both practical and aesthetic upgrades, with three double bedrooms, detached GARAGE and DRIVEWAY PARKING.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Set within the breathtaking surroundings of Dartmoor National Park and just moments from open moorland, this extended detached home occupies an enviable position along a quiet no-through road, away from the main thoroughfare of Dousland.

Sitting on a generous plot of approximately one third of an acre, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and stunning natural outlook.Originally built in the 1950s, the home has been extensively and sympathetically altered and refurbished by the current owners.

The result is a beautifully presented, turn-key property offering well-proportioned and spacious living accommodation, enhanced by both practical and aesthetic upgrades throughout.The property is approached via wooden double gates leading onto a private driveway, which has been widened and tarmacked to provide ample parking and easy turning for multiple vehicles.

The front garden is a particularly pleasant and spacious area, mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with a variety of shrubs and plants. Mature hedging and bushes form the boundary, creating a wonderful sense of privacy. Pedestrian access is available to both sides of the house, leading to the rear garden. There is also access to the single garage via an up-and-over door.

Internally, the accommodation is immaculately presented. An entrance porch provides the perfect space to remove boots before stepping into a welcoming hallway. The home has undergone a complete refurbishment in recent years, ensuring a high standard of finish throughout.

The generously sized kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of wall and floor-mounted units and a number of built-in appliances as well as a useful pantry cupboard. A peninsula island offers both functionality and a subtle separation between cooking and dining spaces. From here, there is access out to the garden and garage and a convenient WC.The lounge is particularly impressive in size, featuring solid oak flooring and a central log burner that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. This space opens into a garden/sun room via patio doors—an addition thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the far-reaching views across Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside.

The property offers three double bedrooms, all well-proportioned. The two rear bedrooms are especially spacious and enjoy those same beautiful views, while the principal bedroom benefits from ample built-in storage. A recently fitted family bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring a bath, walk-in shower, WC, and basin.

Outside, the rear garden extends in a westerly direction and enjoys uninterrupted views across the landscape. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is complemented by established trees and shrubs, along with a greenhouse, shed, and workshop. A charming old stone wall marks the boundary at the far end of the garden. An elevated patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor seating, ideal for enjoying the stunning sunsets this position affords.

The property also benefits from a number of significant practical upgrades, including a new roof installed just three years ago, an extension to the garden room, upgraded double-glazed windows and doors, and the addition of solar panels with a Tesla battery plus an EV charging point, which can be run off the solar or mains—enhancing both energy efficiency and modern convenience.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully updated home in a truly exceptional location, offering the perfect balance of countryside living and contemporary comfort.
