Situation

Crokers Meadow is a sought after road of well-spaced properties with panoramic far reaching views towards Dartmoor. The town centre shops and amenities of Bovey Tracey are close at hand.

Bovey Tracey is a popular and accessible Devon town also known as the “Gateway to the Moors” with the rugged slopes and tors of Dartmoor on the doorstep. The town is small enough to have a great community feel, but large enough to support a good number of independent local and national shops. Other amenities include a health center, veterinary clinic, library, primary school, restaurants, cafes, inns and churches. The town also benefits from good sporting facilities, including a swimming pool, sports field, 9-hole golf course, cricket pitch, bowling green, football pitches and tennis courts. There are also local cycle tracks such as the Wray Valley Trail leading to Moretonhampstead. The South Devon Coast with the sandy beaches and boating facilities of Teignmouth and Torbay is only a short distance away.

The A38 dual carriageway, linking Exeter and Plymouth to the M5 motorway is within two miles of the town and there are mainline railway stations to London Paddington at both Newton Abbot and Exeter. Exeter International Airport is within easy travelling distance. There are well regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, plus several independent schools.

Description

This well-proportioned semi-detached bungalow is located in a quiet cul-de-sac just off Crokers Meadow, a popular road close to the town centre with a southerly aspect taking in fabulous views over the countywide surrounding the town to the slopes of Dartmoor. The property has been in the same ownership for the last 30 odd years and requires modernisation giving the new owner the perfect opportunity to put their own stamp in it and create something special.

Accommodation comprises of an enclosed entrance porch which opens to the hallway, which in turn give access to the remainder of the rooms. The kitchen has a range of white kitchen units above and below granite effect work surfaces with space for a freestanding cooker. The wooden floorboards have been sanded and treated and there is a lovely view through the sun room to Dartmoor. The sitting room is a bright dual aspect room, again taking in the fabulous views to the rear. There is a stone fireplace with a wooden mantle currently fitted with a gas fire with a back boiler to power the central heating system. Between the sitting room and kitchen with access from both is the sun room, a lovely room glazed on three sides taking in the whole panoramic view. Sliding patio doors open to a balcony, and a side door opens to steps down to the garden.

The two double bedrooms are to the front of the property with the principal bedroom having a view over the front garden. Bedroom two takes in a similar view through the porch. The bathroom has a white suite with chrome fittings including a vanity unit with wash basin and a hidden flush WC, and a bath with a shower over.

Below the property and accessed from the garden are a number of useful storage areas. The space immediately off the garden has power and plumbing for a washing machine, and the overhang from the sun room creates a great drying area no matter what the weather.
