SITUATION (CHULMLEIGH)
Chulmleigh is a small but busy town set in the heart of rural Devon. It is the centre for an active and friendly community and offers a good range of local shops including a bakery, dairy, newsagent, florists, hairdressers etc, along with the excellent Chulmleigh Academy offering schooling from the ages of 3 to 16 years of age, health centre, dental surgery, Post Office, churches, library, two public houses and a community run Sports Centre and a short 18 hole golf course. The market town of South Molton to the north and Crediton to the south both offer a more comprehensive range of facilities and the local railway station at Eggesford, 2 miles, provides a rail link between Exeter and Barnstaple.

DESCRIPTION
5 Dartmoor View is a spacious detached bungalow situated in an elevated location in a quiet cul-de-sac near the centre of Chulmleigh. The property dates back to the 1970's and is of standard cavity brick/block construction under a tiled roof with part rendered and colour washed elevations and uPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout, as well as electric night storage heating. Internally the accommodation is generously proportioned and briefly comprises an Entrance Hall, a Sitting Room, a Kitchen/Dining Room, a Conservatory, two double Bedrooms, a Study/Bedroom 3, and a Bathroom. 5 Dartmoor View has been vacant and unoccupied since 2021 and as such would now benefit from some general modernisation and improvement including replacing the garage roof, refitting the Kitchen and Bathroom suites, and redecorating and recarpeting throughout. Outside the bungalow is surrounded by good sized level gardens which would also benefit from some cutting back and general management, whilst on one side there is ample parking for at least two cars allowing access into the attached SIngle Garage.
