Property description
The property is a superbly positioned & deceptively large detached chalet bungalow with 5 bedrooms, wonderful grounds and gardens, PANORAMIC VIEWS over rolling Devon countryside all set in a SOUTH FACING plot of 0.7 acres! Double garage, ample parking, uPVC double glazing, oil central heating & plentiful storage.
This wonderful property gives the feeling of beingcompletely rural with superb views over rolling Devon countryside as far as theeye can see, yet it is only a short walk into the village centre and under halfa mile to Lapford train station which lies on the Tarka line serving Exeter andBarnstaple 7 days a week.
The surprisingly large accommodation includes 5 bedrooms and2 bathrooms spread over both floors, separate dining room and living room withdoors out to the front garden which enjoys a wonderful outlook and theafternoon and evening sun. There is also a kitchen/breakfast room, utility,cloakroom and first floor door to loft space which could be developed if furtherinternal space is required (although that is unlikely!).
Outside this property really comes into its own, the plot isa substantial 0.7 acres and includes a wonderful sweeping lawned garden whichleads to a small orchard of cooking and eating apples, there’s a covered vegetablegarden waiting to be brought back to life and a breakfast seating area whichcatches the morning sun beautifully. There is also a large cellar, doublegarage, ample parking for numerous cars and a boat or caravan if desired.
Helpful Information: The whole property is uPVC doubleglazed and has oil fired central heating provided by an A-rated Worcesterboiler which was installed in March 2011. Nearly all floors boards on theground floor (under the carpets) are American mahogany which could be exposedby any future owner. The property was retiled and flat roofs renewed as wellthe chimneys re-rendered and flashings re-done approx. 4 years ago.
LAPFORD, a large parish and village, lies just north of the main A377 Exeter / Barnstaple road approximately 9 miles from Crediton and 16 miles from Exeter. The village has good amenities including inns, a primary school and a preschool with an excellent OFSTED report. On the edge of the village is a railway station and there is a regular daily bus service from the heart of the village. The parish church, St Thomas of Canterbury, is of perpendicular style and has a fine 16th century rood screen.
DIRECTIONS: From Crediton take the A377 towards Barnstaple for about 7 miles. Turn right at Lapford Cross and proceed up the hill. Go straight ahead at the sharp right hand bend in the road into Popes Lane, head up the lane and the entrance to Green Gables will be seen on your left.
