Burdon Lane, Highampton, Beaworthy, Devon, EX21

Set back from the lane and approached through double gates one is immediately struck by the amount of light from the large skyline. The gravel drive bisects the mainly lawned front gardens and leads to ample parking at the front of the bungalow and to the garage. Stepping through the front door into the 20’ reception wall complete with cupboards one’s eye is drawn through the kitchen window to the garden and view beyond. This outlook is really encapsulated from the double aspect sitting/dining room as along the southerly side it is almost pure glass with a large easy slide door leading out onto the terrace, which is an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining or to just sit and enjoy the surrounds and sound of nature, with Dartmoor as the backdrop. A Clearview multi fuel stove sits proudly on top of a slate hearth, having a chunky Oak fireplace surround and mantle. The kitchen offers a range of oak fronted wall floor drawer units with extensive work surfacing on four sides and a door leads out on to the afore mentioned terrace. Appliances include a four ring gas hob with oven under and extractor and light over, a built in dishwasher and appliance space for a washing machine.


The designed and layout of the bungalow means there is a natural divide between the bedrooms and day time accommodation. At the far end of the reception hall are all three bedrooms with the main room being double aspect with a generous sized en suite shower room with large walk in shower. A connecting door leads to the utility room which can also be accessed from the drive, particularly useful after a damp day on the moors! Rounding off the accommodation is a family bathroom with three piece suite an over bath shower.

Gardens

It is hard to know where to start when describing the rear gardens as they have been well designed and looked after with an ornamental fish pond approached though a honeysuckle clad arch, as a central feature near the top by the full width split level terrace. A swathe of lawn leads you down to the vegetable patch with its greenhouse, composting area, raised beds and fruit cage. Getting there you pass by a orchard and large garden shed with power and light connected. The blend of trees, plants and shrubs used throughout gives the whole garden a sense of togetherness and calmness. Planting includes several Acers, productive fruit trees, rose, Ox-eye daisies, Choisya, Aquilegia.
From Torrington take the A386 to the roundabout at Hatherleigh taking the 3rd exit onto the A3072 continuing into Highampton and follow the road round a sharp right bend then turn left just before the Golden Inn. Turn right into Burdon Lane and the property will be found a short distance on the left hand side.
