The property is set within approximately 1.8 acres of land, offering an excellent opportunity for rural living, with the added benefit of further land available by separate negotiation. No onward chain.
Hilcrest is an outstanding opportunity to purchase a three bedroom bungalow, subject to an agricultural occupancy condition, on the edge of the popular hamlet of Ash Mill. The property is easily accessible benefitting from its own private driveway and a large double garage with accompanied far reaching views that look over the Devon countryside.
The bungalow is entered via the entrance hallway which has useful storage cupboards. Off of the hallway is the living room with a woodburning stove as a focal point and a large window that allows natural light to flow into the room. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of wall, base and drawer units with built in wall mounted oven, microwave, sink with drainer and integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. The kitchen leads to the rear lobby of the property where there is a laundry cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a separate W.C. There is also an internal door leading to the garage. The large double garage is a versatile space and could easily be utilised further for a variety of uses.
On the other side of the property there are three bedrooms along with an adjoining modern wet room. The master bedroom is a generously sized with built in wardrobes and a large window to enjoy the views. Bedroom two is another good sized double room. Bedroom three is a small double bedroom. The wet room consists of a walk in shower, W.C and wash hand basin. The accommodation is wheelchair accessible.
For layout and approximate room measurement please see the enclosed floorplan.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a private driveway leading to a generous concrete parking area, providing ample space for multiple vehicles. Convenient wheelchair ramp access ensures easy entry to the home. The front garden enjoys far-reaching views across the beautiful Devon countryside, creating an attractive setting, while the rear garden offers a greater degree of privacy and seclusion, ideal for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.
The land extends to the south-east of the property, sloping down towards the Crooked Oak river which forms the natural boundary at the bottom of the valley. Currently the land is somewhat overgrown and now requires cutting and clearing, although in the past it has been utilised for grazing livestock with its current use believed to be agricultural. The convenient situation and superb views make the land suitable for a variety of agricultural, equestrian, amenity or other alternative uses, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent. A track provides direct access between the property and the land, enhancing its accessibility and practicality.
