Haytor, Newton Abbot, TQ13

INTRODUCTION
Rippon Tor is a fabulous detached dormer bungalow in an idyllic location at the top of Haytor Vale and within a short walk of Haytor Rocks and the Moorland beyond. The property has been the subject of a programme of extensive modernisation by the current owners with the addition of another bedroom and stylish extension to the living room.

In total, there are four bedrooms split over two floors and a series of light and spacious reception rooms to the rear of the property. Many of these rooms also enjoy distant views across the moor and to the Teign Estuary, as well as providing direct access to the garden. The addition of the new entrance porch has created a larger kitchen area and the quality of the units and white goods are of a high standard. The main living room is unquestionably the standout room in this property. A high quality extension provides greater size and additional light into this is lovely room whilst also affording the most fabulous views.  The first floor level comprises a shower room and two double bedrooms.

The garden has been completely re-landscaped and there is a brand new driveway with electric gates to the front of the bungalow.

The main garden is level and laid to lawn with glimpses of Haytor Rocks through the trees. There is also a separate outbuilding which was formerly a stable block now converted into a double garage, log shed and general storage room.  A further alteration could provide a third parking space.
