3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Old Rectory Gardens, Morchard Bishop EX17

Set within a popular cul-de-sac in the well regarded village of Morchard Bishop, 4 Old Rectory Gardens is a detached bungalow that has been thoughtfully extended and improved to create a home that feels both spacious and easy to live in.

The layout has been remodelled to provide something a little different from the typical Old Rectory Gardens bungalow, with the rear extension creating a generous L-shaped living space that connects beautifully with the garden and can be used as a larger living space or zoned into dining and sitting. This area offers plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining, with a wood burner adding a cosy focal point and doors opening out onto the rear garden.

To the front is a kitchen/dining room, ideal for entertaining and with views to the front garden. There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, along with the added benefit of a utility room, second shower room and a useful store, giving flexibility depending on how the space is used.

The property has been well maintained and updated in recent years, including a new roof with upgraded insulation, new flooring throughout, updated plumbing to the bathroom, and electrics that have been recently tested and certified. New fire and CO2 alarms have also been installed, making it a home that is ready to move straight into.

Outside, the plot is level and easy to manage. To the front, there is a lawned garden and ample driveway parking for around three vehicles. Side access leads through to the rear, where the garden has been carefully designed with a mix of lawn, planted areas and seating spaces, creating different zones to enjoy. The garden backs onto fields, giving a lovely open outlook towards the village beyond.

The property also benefits from solar panels, providing reduced energy costs. These are currently on a lease arrangement, which would transfer to a new owner, although the seller has indicated they would consider buying out the lease if required, subject to negotiation.

Overall, this is a well presented and flexible home in a popular village setting, offering more space than you might expect along with a high level of finish throughout.
