3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow, Highfield, Lapford, EX17

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, 8 Highfield is one of the more desirable positions within this popular village development. Sitting on a south facing corner plot, it enjoys a great sense of space both inside and out, along with far reaching views towards Dartmoor.

Highfield itself is a well regarded collection of houses and bungalows, set in an elevated position within Lapford. The village is one of the larger in Mid Devon and has a strong community feel, with a pub within walking distance, a primary school, sports teams and a well stocked shop with petrol station. It’s also on the Tarka Line, offering direct rail links to Crediton, Exeter and Barnstaple, making it a really practical location for accessing both the coast and the moors.

This particular bungalow stands out thanks to its “side-on” layout, giving it a more spacious feel internally as well as strong kerb appeal. The accommodation is well balanced and has been upgraded by the current owners, creating a home that’s ready to move straight into.

The living room is a generous space with a lovely outlook across the garden and towards the surrounding countryside. The kitchen is separate and well arranged, while the three bedrooms are all served by an up to date bathroom.

The property benefits from oil fired central heating, as is typical for the village, along with mains services, and a recently installed solar system which is owned outright and will help reduce running costs.

Outside is where this home really comes into its own. The corner plot wraps around the bungalow, offering gardens to three sides that feel private and well established, with hedging and lawns creating a manageable but versatile outdoor space.

There is driveway parking for two to three vehicles along with a garage, and two particularly useful outbuildings. One is a workshop/store, while the other is a garden lodge with power, currently used as a studio but equally suited to home working or hobbies.

Overall, this is a well positioned and thoughtfully improved bungalow offering space, privacy and a great village setting, with the added benefit of a south facing plot and views that are hard to come by.

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.
