An extended 1930s semi-detached home in the popular village of Buckland Monachorum, with local amenities including 'The Drake Manor Inn', a primary school & nursery, plus 'The Garden House' & National Trust Buckland Abbey nearby. Situated on a quiet road on the edge of the village, this versatile property has been much improved by the current owner with the addition of a large family room at the rear overlooking the garden. Originally a three bedroom house with a downstairs bathroom, the vendor has moved the bathroom upstairs creating a utility/boot room on the ground floor as well as a study/third bedroom. What was the original sitting room is currently used as a further bedroom. As there is a Jack & Jill en suite adjoining the hallway which could be utilised as a bedroom for an older relative or as a possible income stream. The extension is the real heart of the home, with impressive vaulted ceilings and velux windows allowing plenty of light in. To the right is the kitchen area with integrated appliances and space for a table, to the left is the living space which is centred around a log burner, with French doors in the middle leading out on to a raised deck.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms both with fitted cupboards, one room being very spacious with a double aspect. Finally, a family bathroom with shower over the bath completes the accommodation. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing throughout and solar panels which generate an income.
Externally the gardens are a good size and back on to a stream and neighbouring fields, an oasis for any gardening and wildlife enthusiasts! There are three different areas - a raised deck for entertaining, an array of vegetable plots and fruit trees, plus an area at the end of the garden with two beautiful wildlife ponds, a lovely spot to sit and relax. Beside the house is a detached single garage, with parking for two cars on the driveway.
