4 bed bungalow for sale

Thorndon Cross, Okehampton EX20

This is one of those properties that rarely comes to market! Set up to take full advantage of the incredible Dartmoor views on offer, this large bungalow has spacious accommodation, oodles of storage and glorious gardens to enjoy. The 0.9 acre plot and gorgeous rural outlook give the feeling of being tucked away from it all, but the supermarkets, shops and amenities of Okehampton are less than 10 minutes’ drive!

This detached bungalow is a true one of a kind and has so much to offer a new owner. The bungalow itself is oriented to take in as much of the Dartmoor views as possible, and the south-facing living room has a half hexagonal bay window with the most perfectly framed views of Dartmoor as well as a wood burner for cosy winter nights. Adjacent to the living room is a separate dining room, with the fitted kitchen beyond. There is a central hallway off the dining and living rooms, which leads to the sleeping quarters. Three of the four bedrooms are south facing doubles, again with fantastic Dartmoor views, and there are a separate bathroom and shower room. A huge bonus at this property is the converted loft space with stairway access off the central hallway. The loft area is divided into two rooms, one with a dormer window and Velux - perfect for hobbies, home office, gym or just plentiful storage!

This property occupies a plot of 0.9 acre, with a long tarmac driveway leading from the road first to the detached double garage and then on to the bungalow itself.
Just outside the living room with its half hexagonal bay window is a large south-facing patio with striking views of Dartmoor and plenty of space for a BBQ on warm summer evenings as the sun sets over the hills. Surrounding the patio are ornamental gardens and lawns, and to the side of the home is a block-built summerhouse that would be ideal for hobbies, plus a convenient log store. The ornamental gardens continue around to the other side of the property, leading on to a large vegetable garden with greenhouse between the bungalow and the entrance to the property, fantastic for the keen gardener in the household! The vegetable beds are conveniently separated by intersecting pathways to allow easy access for planting, weeding etc. Between the stunning gardens, Dartmoor views and nearby walks, this home is an outdoor lover’s paradise!

The property is in the small hamlet of Thorndon Cross, which is less than 4 miles from the bustling former market town of Okehampton. The town offers a wide range of independent shops and cafes, essential services and three supermarkets including a Waitrose. Primary schooling is available 2 miles away at Boasley Cross Primary School and a secondary school is located in Okehampton.

From Okehampton you can travel by rail to Exeter (which has an international airport) and from there connect on to London. The A30 corridor provides road connection west to Cornwall or East to Exeter and beyond, and is under 10 minutes from the property. Outdoor enthusiasts are very well served - the property is located just outside Dartmoor National Park, the beaches of the north coast are about a 35 minute drive away, and the nearby Pegasus Trail and Granite Way offer some great traffic-free cycling along former railway lines.
