2 bed bungalow for sale

Highfield, Lapford, Crediton EX17

Situated within a quiet cul de sac in the heart of a well regarded Mid Devon village, this well presented two bedroom link detached bungalow offers spacious and comfortable living, complemented by thoughtfully landscaped gardens and excellent local amenities. The property enjoys a peaceful residential setting whilst remaining conveniently positioned for access to a village shop with petrol station, primary school, and a popular public house with dining, as well as bus and rail links connecting to both Exeter and Barnstaple.

The bungalow has been significantly improved during the current owners’ tenure, with particular attention given to the outdoor space. The rear garden has been carefully landscaped to provide a practical yet attractive environment, incorporating seating areas, raised beds, and well designed drainage and retaining features. This not only enhances usability throughout the seasons but also adds a level of protection to the property. The front garden, enjoying a desirable south facing aspect, is equally appealing, offering a private lawn bordered by established planting, alongside a charming lower garden area with a variety of shrubs and roses, creating a natural and wildlife friendly setting.

Internally, the property is solidly constructed with traditional cavity walls beneath a tiled roof, further benefiting from uPVC double glazing and cavity wall insulation to support energy efficiency.

The accommodation is well proportioned throughout, with a particularly generous living room positioned to the front of the property. Its south facing orientation allows for an abundance of natural light, while an open fire provides a focal point and adds to the overall sense of warmth and character.

The kitchen is separate and practical in layout, also enjoying a front aspect. To the rear of the bungalow are two comfortable double bedrooms, both benefiting from a quieter outlook over the garden, enhancing privacy. The shower room has been updated with modern fittings and features a large walk in shower.

Additional benefits include a useful store with external access, an attached garage, and a driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well balanced home in a thriving village location.
