Description
**Agricultural Occupancy Restriction Lifted**
In a rural yet accessible setting just one mile from Bovey Tracey, Aller Farm Bungalow was built in the late 1960s of non-traditional Woolaway-type construction, with a modern traditional construction extension at the rear.
The property has been well cared for and has double glazed windows with lovely views from most rooms. The living room has a cosy wood-burner and the kitchen-dining room a solid-fuel Rayburn range, which also heats the hot water. Planning permission has been granted to extend the kitchen-dining room and as this was part of the utility/boot room extension which has been completed, the planning should be valid.
Outside, the property has plenty of parking and a large private garden with lawns and growing areas, plus excellent views. A field of 5.03 acres (as measured on Promap) is positioned on the opposite side of the drive and has truly stunning views of the Wray Valley and towards Dartmoor.
Bovey Tracey has an excellent range of everyday shops and amenities and the A38 at Drumbridges can be reached within less than a ten minute drive.
Directions
From the Drumbridges roundabout on the A38 take the A382 Bovey Tracey to Moretonhampstead Road. On reaching the second mini- roundabout, continue along the A382 towards Moretonhampstead, and after 0.8 of a mile, take a right hand turning into a minor country lane. At the top of this lane, continue straight on into the shared private drive which leads to the property.
