Blackstone Road, Ipplepen

A substantial, detached bungalow of individual design situated within the highly sought-after and well-served village of Ipplepen. The property offers much potential for remodelling and enlargement. It has a large roof space ideal for conversion, subject to obtaining all appropriate and required consents and approvals.

In addition, the bungalow occupies a wonderful plot extending in total to around 0.6 of an acre and includes a lovely meadow which may have potential for new build development, although no enquiries have been made into the viability of this, and potential buyers should make their own enquiries. There are currently two gated entrances on to the property from Blackstone Road, regarded by locals and property professionals as one of the village’s most desirable addresses.

Ipplepen offers a vibrant and active lifestyle opportunity with many clubs and societies. Within just a few moments walk from the property, there is an excellent range of amenities including the Wellington Inn, primary school, modern health centre and pharmacy, coffee shop, small supermarket, active community hub and two well attended churches, sports field, bowling club and play park. Around a mile away is Dainton Golf Club and Fermoy’s Garden Centre and its award-winning butchers. Five miles away is the historic town of Totnes perched on the banks of the River Dart and famous for its bohemian atmosphere whilst the hub town of Newton Abbot with its excellent communication links is around 4 miles drive. Both towns can be reached by timetabled bus services from the village and have main line railway stations.

Accommodation
Stepping inside, the accommodation is roomy, well-planned and particularly light and airy. From the rear, some wonderful views can be enjoyed over much of the village and onto glorious Devon countryside including Haytor and the southern slopes of Dartmoor. A central hallway is accessed through an enclosed porch and has a recessed cupboard. A generous lounge with open fireplace enjoys the views to the rear. A separate dining room and fitted kitchen also overlook the rear and if remodelled with the current plumbed utility room could provide a large, open plan living room/kitchen/dining room. Off the utility room is access to a good-sized integral garage with a separate and most useful gardener’s toilet recessed off. There are three bedrooms, all of which are doubles. One with a spacious built in airing cupboard. Completing the picture is a spacious family bathroom with four-piece suite including a bath and separate shower cabinet.

Gardens
The property is well set back from the road with a stone walled front boundary and two gated entrances onto the plot. At the rear are formal gardens, mainly lawned with gates to a meadow beyond. There are a number of out buildings providing excellent storage and hobby opportunities.

Parking 
Ample parking on a wide gated driveway and integral garage.
