Highfield, Lapford, EX17

Set within a popular residential area in the heart of Lapford, 50 Highfield is a well maintained bungalow offering comfortable, easy living in a village that continues to be a favourite locally.

Lapford is one of the larger Mid Devon villages and has a lot going for it, a shop with petrol station, a pub, primary school and importantly both rail and bus links connecting through to Crediton, Exeter and Barnstaple. It’s a village that works well day to day without feeling cut off.

The bungalow itself is link detached, with only the garage attached to the neighbouring property, and sits within neatly kept front and rear gardens.

Inside, the accommodation is well laid out and has been carefully maintained. A front porch provides a useful entrance space, ideal for coats and shoes, before leading through to the main living areas. The kitchen sits to the front and offers a good amount of storage and workspace, while the living room is a generous size with a feature fireplace.

One of the real strengths here is the additional conservatory to the side, currently used as a dining area, which adds another layer of living space and gives a nice connection through to the garden.

There are two good double bedrooms, both enjoying views over the rear garden, along with a central shower room.

The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and electric heating, in keeping with the village where mains gas is not available.

Outside, the front garden and hedge provide a good degree of privacy from the road, with a driveway leading to the single garage. The rear garden is west facing, making the most of the afternoon and evening sun, and is largely level and easy to manage, with a mix of lawn, planted borders and a paved seating area.

From the rear, there are some lovely elevated views across the rooftops and towards Dartmoor in the distance, adding to the overall appeal.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a straightforward purchase and a solid, well cared for bungalow in a great village location.

Several options are available for socialising including the Malt Scoop pub, Lapford Mill café, and several outside spaces for children to play and where events are held. Further out of the village on the A377 is the petrol station with convenience store. For a larger selection of independent shops, bigger supermarkets Crediton is 9 miles away. Nearby is Lapford station, a request stop on the scenic Tarka Line running between Barnstaple and Exeter. And for those seeking the fresh air, about a mile away is Eggesford Forest, home to the very first trees planted by the Forestry Commission which offers numerous plantations for walkers, riders, and cyclists.
