About
Wallaford Road contains several individual detached properties and is situated on the outskirts of the small South Dartmoor town of Buckfastleigh.
Local amenities including primary school, health centre, cafes/eateries and shops are within walking distance and the larger town of Ashburton (about 3 miles) and Totnes (about 7 miles) each offer a wider range of everyday facilities along with senior schools and a main line railway station at Totnes.
The picturesque landscape of Dartmoor is just a couple of miles along the road whilst the A38 at Dart Bridge and Lower Dean bring the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter within commuting distance.
30 Wallaford Road is a spacious detached bungalow, the original building of Woolaway construction with a traditional block built extension.
The accommodation is spacious and well presented with large porch, kitchen, spacious living/dining room with wood-burner, three bedrooms, bathroom and en-suite shower room.
There is the benefit of gas central heating, mainly double glazed windows and PV panels to the rear facing roof.
Outside, the property enjoys a generous size plot with parking for numerous vehicles, and outbuildings including garage, workshop and summerhouse building.
Gated access on both sides of the bungalow leads to the thoughtfully landscaped rear garden which features lawn, various seating areas, timber pergola and an abundance of interesting plants, shrubs and trees.
