Description

This 4-bedroom detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, nestled in the desirable village of Dousland, on the edge of Dartmoor. The property features expansive front and rear gardens, a garage, and a gated driveway, all contributing to its charm and potential. It is offered freehold and is chain-free, making it an attractive option for buyers looking to reimagine their living space. Positioned in a quiet area just 500 yards from open moorland at Yennadon Down, this home is perfect for nature enthusiasts. The iconic Burrator Reservoir is also nearby, providing picturesque views and outdoor activities. Dousland boasts a welcoming community atmosphere with a local pub and convenient bus connections. Within a short drive or commute are Yelverton and Tavistock, which offer an array of amenities including shops, healthcare facilities, and recreational clubs for sports lovers. Constructed circa 1961, this bungalow retains original features that can be updated to modern standards. The internal layout consists of bright rooms that allow for creative redesign—be it through refurbishment or expansion (subject to relevant permissions). The dual-aspect sitting room overlooks the front garden, while the kitchen/dining area contains original fittings and a walk-in pantry. The property includes four bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, providing ample space for families or visitors. The external spaces are another highlight; both the front and rear gardens are well-established and provide opportunities for landscaping enhancements. The rear garden offers privacy with an open view onto adjacent fields, featuring mature planting that includes rose bushes and an apple tree. A wildlife pond graces the front garden along with a quaint timber bridge. This property offers mains water, drainage, electricity, and oil-fired central heating throughout. Superfast broadband access enhances its suitability as either a family home or investment project. With limited mobile service coverage noted (according to Ofcom), prospective buyers may want to explore connectivity options further. In summary, this bungalow stands as a blank canvas awaiting visionary updates in an enviable location rich with outdoor pursuits. This represents not just an opportunity to create your own ideal living environment but also potential for future value appreciation within this sought-after community.
