About
Positioned in a small cul-de-sac towards the top of this popular village development, 4 Highfield enjoys one of the best spots.
Looking out across neighbouring rooftops towards the rolling Devon countryside beyond, the south-facing outlook is a feature you'll never tire of.
The current owners have continued to improve an already well-maintained home with tasteful redecoration, a new wood-burner and updated flooring, creating a bright, comfortable bungalow that's ready for its next owners to simply move in and enjoy.
The accommodation is surprisingly spacious, with well-proportioned rooms throughout.
The generous sitting room is flooded with natural light thanks to its large picture window, perfectly framing the countryside views, whilst the wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point during the cooler months.
There's plenty of room for both seating and dining, making it an ideal everyday living space.
The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and has been thoughtfully fitted with a range of modern units, integrated appliances and ample workspace, with direct access outside for convenience.
Both bedrooms are genuine doubles with built-in wardrobes, offering comfortable accommodation whether for a couple, visiting family or those needing space for hobbies or working from home.
The bathroom is equally generous, complete with both a bath and separate shower. Outside, the property continues to impress.
To the front are attractive gardens together with ample parking leading to the garage, whilst the enclosed rear garden has been designed for easy enjoyment with lawn, patio seating areas and plenty of space to relax or potter throughout the seasons.
Whether you're downsizing without compromising on space, searching for an easier-to-maintain home or simply looking for somewhere peaceful with wonderful views, 4 Highfield offers comfort, practicality and a location that's hard to beat.

Lapford is a hillside village overlooking the river Yeo.
It has a past reaching back to the Iron Age and a grade I listed church that was rebuilt and extended in the 12 century by Sir William De Tracey as penance for his part in the murder of Thomas Becket.
Several options are available for socialising including the Malt Scoop pub, Lapford Mill café, and several outside spaces for children to play and where events are held.
Further out of the village on the A377 is the petrol station with convenience store. For a larger selection of independent shops, bigger supermarkets Crediton is 9 miles away.
Nearby is Lapford station, a request stop on the scenic Tarka Line running between Barnstaple and Exeter.
And for those seeking the fresh air, about a mile away is Eggesford Forest, home to the very first trees planted by the Forestry Commission which offers numerous plantations for walkers, riders, and cyclists.
