Property description

Property Description
This detached bungalow is set in 0.7 acre of grounds and is located in the heart of the moor near to the stannary town of Chagford. Of woolaway construction the property would benefit from taking advantage of the planning permission that it has in place to convert the property into a much larger single storey dwelling (122sqm/1313 sq ft). After this programme of works it would also negate the construction of the woolaway as permission is also in place (Ref: 0396/13 and 0555/13 at www.dartmoor.gov.uk) for it all to be turned into a property of standard construction. By enlarging the property and by creating an energy efficient home it would certainly enhance the value and would also create a fantastic moorland home. Equally, for those who are not concerned about the construction it does offer a well proportioned property in a beautiful area.
The accommodation at present offers entrance porch, living room with woodburning stove, kitchen/dining room, bathroom and two double bedrooms. There is also a timber conservatory to the rear. There is ample parking on a hardcore parking area and a driveway, both of which have been recently improved.
