Introduction

Hillcrest is a three bedroom detached bungalow in an elevated, quiet rural location with only one near neighbour and enjoying lovely countryside views towards Exmoor. The property has been substantially upgraded by the present owners who have rewired and replumbed the bungalow, installed central heating, a new kitchen, new shower room and new en suite. The uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering are new, as are the uPVC French doors to the living room, the conservatory was erected in 2008, the garage and shed in 2007, the loft and cavity walls were fully insulated in 2007 and a new oil tank installed in 2007. There is a new 480k Rayburn for the heating, hot water and cooking with additional thermostat and wiring for an independently controlled zone in the annexe. A mains operated fire alarm covers the bungalow and annexe and a carbon monoxide alarm is installed. The tiles to the main roof were replaced in early 2007. The annexe has been rented to the same tenant for nearly 2 years with no problems and the tenant would like to stay on if the option was available.

Hillcrest is a few minutes from the village of Wembworthy with the Lymington Arms which is well known for its good food. Wembworthy is approximately two miles from Winkleigh which offers an excellent range of facilities and amenities, including local shops, a butcher, fishmonger, Post Office, doctors, vets, Chuch, two public houses (one a well-known restaurant), mobile bank and library, and primary school. The village and community offer a wide range of social clubs and activities with a new Leisure Centre on the outskirts. Okehampton lies fourteen miles to the south and offers a wider range of facilities including three supermarkets, further shops and professional services, secondary school and golf course. Barnstaple, North Devon's regional centre, is about 20 minutes drive away, and Exeter, Devon's County town, both offer a wider range of facilities. There is an international airport at Exeter as well as a mainline railway station providing Intercity links to London. This can also be accessed at Junction 27 of the M5 at Tiverton Parkway. The M5 can be accessed via Exeter or Tiverton.
