Just outside the village of Lapford lies Popes Lane, a quiet little byway that once carried you straight into the village but today is mostly used from each end, except on foot, to reach the handful of homes along it. Lapford itself is a friendly and well-served Mid Devon village, with a primary school, petrol station/shop, pub, church, and a railway station on the Tarka Line giving excellent connections to Exeter and Barnstaple. There are lovely countryside walks all around, and the A377 provides an easy route to Crediton or Barnstaple. The Furrows is a detached and extended three bedroom bungalow set in a superb plot with glorious south facing views over rolling countryside. It feels like a bit of a hidden gem, peaceful yet accessible, wrapped in large, beautifully kept gardens. Inside, the layout is generous and practical, with three bedrooms and a modern shower room grouped at one end, while the living room enjoys large sliding doors opening directly to the garden and the potential to install a wood-burner if desired. The well fitted kitchen offers plenty of space and has been thoughtfully designed for modern country living, with a dining room beyond that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom or even form part of an annexe suite if the vestibule were converted into a shower room (subject to consent). Modern uPVC double glazing, oil fired central heating with a modern oil storage tank, and mains drainage complete the picture. The gardens, approaching a quarter of an acre, are the star of the show and will delight anyone with green fingers. There are sweeps of lawn, productive vegetable beds, fruit trees, beautifully established borders, and a wonderful south facing paved terrace to sit and soak up the outlook. Pathways make the gardens accessible all year round, and a small stream with a bridge creates a charming boundary at the lower edge. Several timber sheds, a greenhouse, and a larger-than-average garage provide masses of storage or workshop potential, and there is gated off-road parking with potential to create more.
