FULL DESCRIPTION **£800,000-£825,000** Nestled within approximately six acres of beautiful Devon countryside, this exceptional detached chalet bungalow offers an idyllic rural lifestyle with extensive equestrian facilities, fishing pond, woodland, and versatile outbuildings - all within easy reach of Exeter.

Approached via an expansive private driveway through the charming village of Dunsford, the property immediately impresses with its generous parking area and picturesque surroundings. The home itself provides spacious and flexible accommodation ideal for families, those seeking multi-functional outdoor space, or buyers with equestrian interests.

Entering through the practical boot room/utility area, there is ample space for coats, boots, outdoor equipment, and laundry appliances.

The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a range of units and offers space for informal dining, while the adjoining dining room enjoys delightful views across the grounds and creates a superb entertaining space with excellent flow into the main living areas. French doors open directly onto the patio, perfectly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The spacious living room is filled with natural light and enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding fields.The living room has a working log burner. A charming sunroom to the rear of the property provides a peaceful retreat to relax and enjoy the tranquil countryside setting throughout the seasons.

The ground floor further benefits from two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, WC, and wash hand basin.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two particularly spacious double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features dual-aspect windows, a walk-in wardrobe, and access to an updated shower room with shower, WC and wash basin.

The second first-floor bedroom also enjoys dual-aspect countryside views together with useful eaves storage.

Externally, the property offers an outstanding range of outbuildings and land. Adjacent to the house is a substantial outbuilding incorporating a large carport, three kennels, additional stable, storage rooms, and power supply.

A separate stable block, just a short walk from the main house, comprises four stables and a tack room, perfectly positioned beside one of the paddocks extending to approximately three acres.

Beyond the stables lies a peaceful enclosed fishing pond, enjoyed by the current owners for many relaxing afternoons fishing for carp.

The remaining grounds include additional fields, woodland areas, and expansive lawned gardens, creating a truly versatile and private outdoor environment.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, LPG gas hobs, maintained electrics, and a private septic tank drainage system.
