3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow, Highfield, Lapford, EX17

Set within the popular village of Lapford, 9 Highfield is a link detached bungalow offering a good amount of space, a practical layout and a great opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise over time.

Lapford itself is a well served village with a shop, pub and a railway station on the Tarka Line, along with regular bus links, making it a convenient spot for access to Crediton, Exeter and beyond.

The accommodation is well laid out, with an entrance hall leading through to a comfortable living room with a wood burner, creating a cosy focal point. There is also a separate dining room with useful storage, offering flexibility for everyday living or entertaining.

The kitchen sits to the side of the property and leads through to an entrance porch with access to both the front and rear gardens. From the dining room, an inner hallway provides access to the three bedrooms and the bathroom, with the rear rooms enjoying a pleasant outlook over the garden.

The property benefits from oil fired central heating and uPVC double glazing, and while it has been well maintained, there is clear scope to update and improve to suit individual tastes.

LAPFORD is a hillside village overlooking the river Yeo. It has a past reaching back to the Iron Age and a grade I listed church that was rebuilt and extended in the 12 century by Sir William De Tracey as penance for his part in the murder of Thomas Becket. Several options are available for socialising including the Malt Scoop pub, Lapford Mill café, and several outside spaces for children to play and where events are held. Further out of the village on the A377 is the petrol station with convenience store. For a larger selection of independent shops, bigger supermarkets Crediton is 9 miles away. Nearby is Lapford station, a request stop on the scenic Tarka Line running between Barnstaple and Exeter. And for those seeking the fresh air, about a mile away is Eggesford Forest, home to the very first trees planted by the Forestry Commission which offers numerous plantations for walkers, riders, and cyclists.
