Just outside of the village of Lapford lies Popes Lane, which
once would have provided access directly to the village but these
days is used from each end except on foot to access the properties
along it. From the A377, a small lane leads to The Furrows, a
detached and extended 3 bedroom bungalow in a superb plot with
south facing views over the surrounding countryside. It s somewhat
of a hidden gem, being tucked away yet accessible and set in the
large, gorgeous gardens.
Internally, there is plenty of room with 3 bedrooms and a modern
shower room at one end and then the living room with potential for
wood burner and its large sliding doors to the garden. The well
fitted kitchen provides ample space and it has been designed to fit
in well with modern country living. There s a dining room on the
end which could be used as a 4th bedroom or even as an annex suite
if the vestibule was converted into a shower room stp so there are
options aplenty. There is modern uPVC double glazing and oil fired
central heating with modern tank and mains drainage.
Outside The amazing gardens approx. quarter of an acre are a real
feature of the property and will suit those with green fingers. The
gardens have something for everyone, pretty open areas of lawn,
productive vegetable plots, fruit trees, very well established
borders and beds and a fantastic south facing paved seating area
from which to enjoy the gardens and views. The whole garden is
incredibly well maintained and there are pathways for ease of
access and year round use. There is a small stream at the bottom of
the garden with a bridge over. In addition to the gardens, there
are timber sheds, a greenhouse and a large garage bigger than
average so there s room for a vehicle and or work space too. There
is also gated off road parking.
Note The access lane to the property is unmade so please take
care. There is turning space into the drive to be able to drive out
again.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

LAPFORD is a large village, beyond Morchard Road on the A377 9
miles from Crediton and 16 miles from the City of Exeter. Like most
Devon parishes, it s not far from a lovely collection of trees
Eggesford Forest is just up the way, a regal coniferous plantation
that plays host to variety of creatures including adders,
butterflies, buzzards and woodpeckers and badgers! . The village
itself has a primary school with an excellent Ofsted report,
sizeable playing fields with a football pitch and kid friendly
playground and a busy pub The Old Malt Scoop Inn, once a 16th
Century coaching inn which now offers an la carte dining
experience, using only the best local produce.
