3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow, Ashreigney, Chulmleigh, EX18

Ashreigney is a pretty village approx. 4 miles from the town of Chulmleigh which has a thriving collection of shops and services and retains much of the community spirit of the past. There are both primary and secondary schools in Chulmleigh, with a bus service from Ashreigney. This property sits on the edge of the village with adjoining countryside and views over the rolling hills. It was originally built in the 1930’s and has many of the characteristics one would expect with light rooms and high ceilings. The bungalow occupies a pretty level plot with steps being minimal inside and out. The heating was upgraded to modern electric heating with a new hot water cylinder recently.

The layout provides good sized rooms off a central corridor. The dual aspect living room has a feature fireplace and then 3 bedrooms give flexibility to how the space is used, it could be a dining room, bedroom or study. The kitchen/dining room has plenty of working surface and storage space and opens to the rear into a utility/boot room and on again to the garage (see below). From the boot room, an external door leads to a small lockable courtyard and there is access to a store and a workshop with an additional large door to the side.

Outside, the main driveway is accessed from the village lane and provides a large, level parking area with a carport. There are lawns and borders and access around both sides of the property. There is a timber shed as a garden store, access to the aforementioned courtyard, patios and of course, the fantastic views over the countryside. There is a second access at the rear of the property which leads to a large garage (connected to the property internally) and this was improved by the previous owner to house a motorhome. The electric door has a clearance of approx. 2.74m (9’) which was done to allow access for a motorhome and there is plenty of headroom and floorspace to enjoy working on projects or for secure storage. There is also a small pedestrian door for access to the front of the garage.

Agents note:

The property has vehicle rights of way over the driveway in front of the garage (driveway owned by neighbour) and from the highway to the start of the drive (strip owned by council but maintained by owner of Hillview). This doesn’t affect the enjoyment but buyers should be aware.
