Situated in a peaceful setting just outside the boundary of Dartmoor National Park, this spacious, extended dormer bungalow offers wonderfully flexible accommodation, surrounded by greenery and enjoying direct access to the open moorland virtually from the doorstep.

A welcoming entrance porch leads into a light and airy hallway, where characterful porthole windows add a lovely touch of individuality. From here, there is access to a useful downstairs cloakroom, a generously proportioned dual-aspect living room with an open fire, and a spacious double bedroom benefiting from a Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom, which also connects to the rear hallway.

The dining room, which could equally serve as a second sitting room, provides ample space for a large family dining table and flows naturally through to the generous kitchen/diner, creating a sociable and practical space for everyday living. Adjacent to the kitchen are a separate boiler room, a useful utility room and a study, ideal for those working from home.

A further doorway leads through to the rear hallway, providing access to a fourth bedroom and an adjoining room, currently suited to use as a craft room or dressing room, but could be a fifth bedroom adding yet more versatility to the accommodation.

Upstairs, a bright galleried landing leads to two particularly spacious double bedrooms, both enjoying lovely views over the surrounding countryside. These bedrooms are served by a separate shower room.

With its generous proportions, adaptable layout and enviable position on the edge of Dartmoor, this is a home that offers plenty of possibilities, whether for family living, accommodating guests or simply enjoying the space and tranquillity of its beautiful surroundings.

Outside 

Approached through a traditional five-bar gate, the property benefits from a generous driveway providing parking for several vehicles, together with a double garage. A raised lawn, complemented by mature shrubs and trees, creates an attractive and established setting to the front.

A pathway leads around to the rear garden, where two patio seating areas offer lovely spots for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing. There is a greenhouse ready for those with green fingers, and the lawn is bordered by established shrubs and trees, with traditional Devon banks and fencing enclosing the garden and providing a pleasant sense of privacy and seclusion.
