Description
Higher Knappa is attractively situated in the heart of the countryside between Bickington and Haytor, on the south east corner of Dartmoor National Park. The immediate surrounding area abounds in many lovely walks and rides, with the open moor at Pinchaford Bowl and Haytor Down less than 2 miles away. The charming village of Ilsington with its parish church, community shop, traditional Devon inn and primary school is just a couple of minutes drive away. Although occupying a rural location, the property is easily accessible to the A38 Expressway, which is just a few minutes drive away and connects the cities of Plymouth and Exeter, and the M5 motorway link. The market town of Newton Abbot, about 7 miles away, has a modern pedestrianised shopping centre and main line railway station, and there is a wide choice of independent and state schools in the locality. The nearby towns of Bovey Tracey (4 miles) and Ashburton (5 miles) have a good range of everyday amenities and a variety of interesting shops.
The property, which is of non traditional construction and likely not mortgageable, is understood to have originally been created from three timber clad portacabins with box-profile roofing. The accommodation is all on one level and the interior has been upgraded over the last five years and has a crisp, light, modern feel. Several of the rooms enjoy good views over the property's own gardens and grounds, and beyond towards open countryside and woodland. Outside, a gated circular driveway provides parking for many vehicles and there are surrounding lawned gardens plus decked seating areas at both the front and rear of the bungalow. There is direct access to the two fields, the first of which slopes away from the property and has an area of copse. The main field would be perfect for grazing animals and has its own vehicular access from the lane together with planning permission for a large general purpose agricultural barn.
