2 Bedroom Bungalow for sale in Moorhaven

1 2 2

Christopher's South Hams are thrilled to market this beautifully presented home that was originally built in 1932 as part of the Moorfields Development within the existing Victorian hospital, creating single storey wards with verandas that enabled patients to sleep in the open air.

Description - Lloyds Lodge is a quintessential example of its era, showcasing well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings and modern sash windows. An entrance vestibule and spacious hall with attractive flooring, invite you inside.
With its delightful double aspect bouncing natural light of the original parquet flooring, the charming kitchen/diner boasts a wealth of integrated appliances and storage behind its shaker-style units.
The impressive sitting room is flooded with natural light from its large sash windows and door to the private garden. A decorative log burner, nestled within an ornamental surround, takes centre-stage delicately reminding you of this home's history.
To the rear of this property are two double bedrooms, one with a luxurious ensuite. A separate well-appointed shower room completes the accommodation.
Whilst Moorhaven Village enjoys superb communal grounds, Lloyds Lodge also has its own, private and pretty, enclosed garden and patio that can be accessed from the sitting room.
To the front of the property there are 3 private parking spaces, and on the opposite side of the driveway, there is a further strip of lawned garden available. Accessed via some steps through a grassed bank, a gate invites you to a secluded spot enclosed by trees. This area also has a timber shed and the current owners have kept chickens here in the past.
Blending character and elegance throughout, this is a tremendous place to call home and viewings are highly recommended.

Situation & Amenities - To the north of Bittaford is the atmospheric and exclusive Moorhaven Village. The buildings, mostly Victorian, were once a hospital but in the 1990s were transformed into around one hundred homes set in 65 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The elevated position offers incredible views of Dartmoor National Park to the north, and the stunning countryside of the South Hams to the south. On a clear day you can even see the sea seven miles away.
The adjacent and historic village of Bittaford nestles under the local landmark viaduct and is bordered by the Dartmoor National Park. Offering superb transport links, the village sits on the edge of the B3213 and access to the A38 to Exeter or Plymouth is within easy reach with regular bus services. The nearby train station in Ivybridge offers the picturesque Paddington - Penzance line as well. Bittaford offers a pub, village hall and children's play area and is a great starting point for many walking and cycling routes. It is ideally situated to benefit from many surrounding amenities as well as the natural environment on its doorstep. Alongside the bus/train provision, a continuous footpath will take you all the way from the village into Ivybridge which is approximately a 2-mile gentle stroll alongside the stunning South Hams views.
Ivybridge is a family-orientated town with a rich heritage of traditional industries such as milling and cloth making that are still celebrated today.
With the pretty River Erme flowing from the moors through the middle of the town, Ivybridge offers adventure.
