Detached bungalow for sale in Broadwoodwidger, Lifton PL16

With fields adjoining 3 sides of the boundary, it’s fair to say that if you’re looking for a semi-rural detached bungalow with some room around you, then they don’t come much better than this. Less than a mile from the banks of Roadford Lake and with stunning Dartmoor views, it’s also easily accessible with the A30 within 5 minutes, both Exeter and Plymouth aren’t far away by road. It’s 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 of Launceston, and 13 miles west of Okehampton.

The property is a detached bungalow of standard construction and was built in the late 1960’s. The layout gives generous room sizes and although the current layout will suit many, there’s 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. There’s 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.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
