Description

West Begbeer is a detached dormer bungalow set within the parish of Spreyton enjoying open countryside views with a lovely garden and an adjoining paddock extending to just over two acres. The property combines practical living space with a rural setting, while still remaining within reach of nearby villages and a short distance to the A30.

Inside, the entrance hall leads through to a spacious kitchen with notably high ceilings, fitted with pale grey gloss units and arranged to look out towards the paddock. The kitchen connects naturally to a generous dining room, where original built-in cupboards add character and useful storage. A separate lounge provides a comfortable sitting area centred around a stone fireplace.

Also on the ground floor are two south-facing double bedrooms, both enjoying views across the garden and countryside beyond, with one including a large mirrored wardrobe. There is a bathroom on the ground floor along with a practical utility room offering additional storage and appliance space.

Upstairs, the dormer accommodation continues with further bedrooms and bathrooms. The front bedroom enjoys a south facing aspect overlooking the lovely views with a juliet balcony, while the rear double bedroom looks west across the paddock and includes an en suite with corner shower and storage space. An additional bathroom is fitted with a white suite, bath and shower attachment, with Velux style windows bringing in natural light.

Outside, the rear garden faces south and is laid to lawn, established planting and productive fruit beds, including strawberries and raspberries, along with a greenhouse and mature apple and magnolia trees. A driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a substantial block-built garage suitable for parking 2 vehicles easily, workshop use or additional storage.

The adjoining paddock extends to just over two acres and is fenced, making it suitable for horses, ponies or other livestock. The shed whilst in need of some repair would make a good sheep shed, animal housing or workshop.

The property is offered with no onward chain and provides a balance of rural space, practical accommodation and accessibility within Mid Devon.

SPREYTON is a hilltop village affording spectacular views across the surrounding countryside all the way to North Dartmoor. While the village enjoys a rural setting amid farmland, the A30 is within a short and easy drive making it a desirable location for those needing access to Exeter and the M5 or Okehampton and Cornwall. The first mention of Spreyton is in the Domesday Book of 1086 most likely starting as a single farming settlement. Since then, the village has grown and now thatched cottages have been joined by small and sensitively created newer developments. Residents are encouraged to join in with a dynamic community offering many diverse activities to keep them amused, there’s something for all ages and interests. The village has a community run shop, a pottery and The Tom Cobley Tavern – a family-run pub named for the legendary character Tom Cobley as it’s thought that his infamous trip to Widecombe Fair started here. There is also a small primary school which is rated OFSTED good and has early years provision.

DIRECTIONS : From Crediton take the A377 in a Westerly direction, at Copplestone take a left turn onto the A3072. At Bow take a left turn onto Station Road. Continue along towards Spreyton and West Begbeer can be found 2 miles along to the right.

From the A30 take the Whiddon Down exit, take the A3124 toward North Tawton, continue over the bridge and then take a right turn to Spreyton. Continue straight through the village and the property can be found 2 miles along to the right.
