Rural Views
DESCRIPTION This detached country bungalow,
surrounded by its own grounds to about 6.7 acres
(which includes gardens, an orchard, paddock and a
delightful small woodland) is located in an outstanding
rural setting on the edge of Dartmoor, enjoying much
peace, tranquillity, privacy and seclusion. The views of
the surrounding countryside including the Dartmoor
hills are spectacular (as apparent from the photos).
The property is located off a country lane roughly
halfway between the sought after villages of Cheriton
Bishop and Dunsford. Although in a quiet rural setting,
the property is very accessible with the A30 being
about 2.75 miles to the north which gives easy & fast
access to Okehampton and Exeter with the M5
motorway beyond. The town of Crediton lies about 9
miles to the north.
THE PROPERTY
The bungalow is believed to be have been built in the
1940’s and we are informed by the vendor that
it is constructed of White Asbestos (hence the very
realistic price). It offers fairly large and unique 3
bedroomed accommodation with decorative character
features. The property could be lived in as it stands
(as it has for many years), or it could be re-developed
with a conventionally built property. In the opinion of
the agent, a Grand Designs type property with lots of
glazing would suit the site extremely well (obviously
subject to planning permission).
The property is surrounded by lovely gardens plus
numerous outbuildings, a useful mobile home/caravan
and large carport. The gardens are well presented and
maintained plus there is an orchard, with the land to
the north and west rising above the bungalow.
DIRECTIONS If approaching Cheriton Bishop along
the A30 dual carriageway, turn off at Woodleigh
junction as signed to Cheriton Bishop. Proceed along
the road until arriving in the village. Take the first left
hand turning immediately before the Old Thatch Inn.
Follow the country lane for about 1.8 miles and turn
right as signed Clifford Bridge. Follow this lane for
about 0.3 miles and the entrance to Square Bookhams
will be seen on the right. Turn into the gravel driveway
through the twin galvanised gates, and immediately
turn left (the right hand driveway leads to another
property). Follow the drive down through the meadow
until reaching a small parking area. Continue from
here on foot down to the property.
CHERITON BISHOP is one of Mid Devon's
picturesque villages situated just off the A30 trunk
road giving fast dual carriageway access to Exeter (10
miles) and the M5 motorway to the east, and
Okehampton and Cornwall to the west. It has a thriving
village community and an historic parish church. There
are two popular inns, primary school, village hall and
post office/stores. The nearby village of Tedburn St.
Mary is about 3 miles away and the busy town of
Crediton about 7 miles.
