With fields adjoining 3 sides of the boundary, its fair to say that if youre looking for a semi-rural detached bungalow with some room around you, then they dont come much better than this. Less than a mile from the banks of Roadford Lake and with stunning Dartmoor views, its also easily accessible with the A30 within 5 minutes, both Exeter and Plymouth arent far away by road. Its a beautiful part of Devon and only a short trip over the border into Cornwall. The village of Broadwoodwidger is nearby and is set just to the north of the A30, about 8 miles east ofLaunceston, and 13 miles west ofOkehampton.
The property is a detached bungalow of standard construction and was built in the late 1960s. The layout gives generous room sizes and although the current layout will suit many, theres huge potential to improve or even increase the floor area of offer (subject to planning). Built originally as an agricultural workers dwelling, it was since occupied by the retired local farmer and is now being offered for sale with no onward chain. It is subject to an occupancy restriction (see later) so please ensure your compliance before requesting to view.
Internally, the official front door leads into the wide hallway with separate entrances to the large living room with some lovely views over the front to the surrounding countryside. Theres an inset wood-burner and a door links to the kitchen/dining room. This also enjoys some super views and has a range of fitted units and plenty of room for a table. To the side is a porch with door to outside and an internal door to the larger than average garage which could be incorporated into the floor area if desired (subject to planning). Off the central hall are 3 good sized bedrooms and the family bathroom, plus a separate WC.
Outside, the property is set in lovely gardens and the whole plot sits surrounded by countryside. There are areas of lawn to the front and rear plus ample parking for numerous vehicles.
Agents Notes: The propertys status of having an agricultural tie has been taken into account with the guide price and the property value would be higher if it was open market, so its a discounted property purchase to reflect this.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
