Description

Set within the popular village of Lapford, 9 Highfield is a link detached bungalow offering a good amount of space, a practical layout and a great opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise over time.

Lapford itself is a well served village with a shop, pub and a railway station on the Tarka Line, along with regular bus links, making it a convenient spot for access to Crediton, Exeter and beyond.

The accommodation is well laid out, with an entrance hall leading through to a comfortable living room with a wood burner, creating a cosy focal point. There is also a separate dining room with useful storage, offering flexibility for everyday living or entertaining.

The kitchen sits to the side of the property and leads through to an entrance porch with access to both the front and rear gardens. From the dining room, an inner hallway provides access to the three bedrooms and the bathroom, with the rear rooms enjoying a pleasant outlook over the garden.

The property benefits from oil fired central heating and uPVC double glazing, and while it has been well maintained, there is clear scope to update and improve to suit individual tastes.

Outside, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn both front and rear, providing easy to manage outdoor space. A driveway leads to a large garage, offering both parking and storage, with additional access to the rear garden and under-house storage. There is also a greenhouse in place.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a straightforward purchase and a solid bungalow in a well-connected village location, with plenty of potential to add value over time.

About Helmores, Crediton

111-112 High Street, Crediton, Devon, EX17 3LF
Industry affiliations:

Most people thinking about selling have the same three worries: how long will it take, will I get a good price, and how stressful is it going to be? Everything we do is built around those three things.

Getting the best price starts with how your property is presented and who sees it first. Every Helmores property gets professional photography, cinematic property film, interactive digital tours, and premium Rightmove placement as standard. For the right properties, we add aerial footage from our qualified drone pilots and a feature in our printed lifestyle magazine. Better presentation creates more interest. More interest creates competitive tension. Competitive tension gets better offers. In 2025, our vendors achieved 98.7% of asking price on average, compared to a national average of around 96%.

You also get your own login to our app, where you can see exactly what we're doing: every viewing booked, every piece of feedback, every offer, all your documents in one place. No chasing us for updates. No wondering what's happening. You can see it for yourself, in real time.

The part most agents don't talk about is what happens after you accept an offer. Nationally, around 30% of agreed sales fall through before completion. Ours is 14%. The difference is dedicated in-house sales progressors who manage every sale from offer to keys. They chase solicitors, coordinate surveys, and solve problems before they become deal-breakers. We also qualify every buyer before solicitors are instructed: identity, proof of funds, mortgage decision. You're not three months into a sale before discovering the buyer can't proceed.

We've been selling homes in Crediton and Mid Devon since 1699. If you're even starting to think about it, we're happy to have an honest conversation. No obligation. No follow-up calls you didn't ask for.
