OUR VIEW
\"If you are looking to escape the rat race and start your own smallholding, the layout of Rhapsody's land may be ideal. The lower garden, currently laid mainly to lawn, presents the perfect opportunity for keeping small animals such as chickens, geese or even goats or pigs, as the existing timber garage/tractor shed could be converted into animal housing. A keen animal lover may even consider the opportunity for animal rescue/cattery/kennels again subject to the relevant permissions.\"

OUTSIDE
The property is approached from both Hestow Road (which is accessed through two wrought iron gates with pillars to a paved driveway area) at the side of the property, from Lindridge Hill (which is approached through a large wooden gate up the long driveway) at the front of the property and the additional potential access which the vendors also own on a separate title.

FRONT GARDEN
The main approach to the property is through the wooden gates at the front of the property, where a long sweeping driveway gives access to the parking area and double garage beyond. The front garden is a gently sloping lawned area, with mature hedges, trees and bushes stocking the gardens. The front garden has a natural wooded area at the bottom. To the side there is a natural garden area which is currently held on separate deeds (subject to the necessary consents this separate area has the potential to create access for an additional property to be built in the grounds). To the side of the driveway there is an additional garage/ store (which was used as a car garage previously, but would also suit a ride on lawnmower) with metal up and over door. Steps from the lawned garden lead to a large patio area immediately outside of the front door, which is crazy paved with planted bedding areas. The path continues around the front of the property to a larger additional patio area which creates a perfect area to sit out, relax, eat and entertain on. Beyond this is the driveway parking and double garage. To the side of the driveway there is a timber cabin (16'x10') which is currently used as a garden store, but has the potential to be a lovely summer house or home office (subject to consents and electricity).

REAR GARDEN
The delightful rear garden gently slopes, is mainly laid to lawn incorporating a large vegetable patch and fruit trees. The garden is bordered by mature trees, hedges and shrubs, offering a good degree of privacy with views over the neighbouring paddocks and pastureland to the rear and over the top of the bungalow towards the countryside in front and Dartmoor in the distance. The lawn continues to gently slope to the side of the property where there is an area of hard standing housing a large glass and aluminium greenhouse, where the current vendor grows grapes. To the side of the greenhouse, there is a low brick base wall of a former greenhouse which could be reinstated. From the hard standing a pergola gives access to an area housing the oil tank, continuing around the back of the greenhouse to the side of the property. The pathway continues around the outside of the bungalow where there is also a gardners wc which backs onto bedroom 3 and could be incorporated as an ensuite. The patio immediately outside the rear of the property gives access to the - air raid shelter approached from a covered path with solid wood door leads into the main room which is of a good size and would make an ideal wine store, children's den or storage room. From the main room there is an additional store room. Light connected. To the side of the air raid shelter there is an additional store room, which the current vendor uses as a wood store.
