This 1930s detached family house sits in an elevated position above Dart Bridge Road in Buckfastleigh, with broad character features and generous indoor-outdoor space. Recent major works—new roof (2024), new front uPVC windows (2024), gas boiler (2023) and full rewire (2021)—have secured the property’s core fabric. It offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms, driveway parking for two cars, a garage with power and water, and a large southwest-facing garden that receives long hours of sun.
The house retains period details such as bay windows, picture rails and original doors, creating an appealing backdrop for modernisation. Internally rooms are well-proportioned: a spacious living room and a large dining room with a front bay; a kitchen and adjacent utility with downstairs WC; and upstairs three large doubles plus a smaller fourth bedroom or home office. The plot is a strong asset — terraced rear garden with patio and higher lawned areas, generous front lawn and off-street parking.
Buyers should note the property is categorised as needing renovation to modernise finishes and improve energy performance (EPC D). The cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the house offers only one bathroom, which may not suit larger families without alteration. Council Tax sits above average and although the major mechanical and electrical works are recent, interested parties should verify all services and dimensions.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking period character with room to personalise, and those who value a large garden and convenient access to Dartmoor National Park. With core systems already updated, the property presents a practical renovation project with clear upside for improvement in styling and energy efficiency.
