A detached bungalow of non-standard construction with garage, now requiring refurbishment, and occupying a large plot of approximately 0.5 acres in a secluded position on the western fringes of Tavistock. Planning permission for two new homes on the site was granted in 2011 but has now lapsed. May suit redevelopment.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Located in a well-regarded residential area on a private and secluded plot of approximately 0.5 acres, and located on the Western fringes of Tavistock town, within easy walking distance of the amenities therein.
Individually designed and built in the 1960’s from plans produced by renowned local architect Denis Murphy, partner in well-known firm Murphy and Blades, the bungalow is constructed of timber frame, lined and clad beneath a pitched tiled roof. Internally, there is an open plan living/dining area, fully fitted kitchen, four bedrooms, bathroom with sunken bath, and cloakroom. Fashionable in the 60’s, there is an impressive wood lined barrel ceiling in the living area, with large, floor to ceiling windows which flood the bungalow with natural light.
OUTSIDE
Outside, the bungalow occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.5 acres, generally level and including a large lawn, formerly used as a tennis court, edged with well-established flower beds and borders, plants, trees and shrubs. A path provides pedestrian access to the rear of the bungalow where there is a now disused swimming pool with terraced seating area, located off the living room and perfect for outdoor eating and entertaining. Beyond the swimming pool there is a formerly productive kitchen garden laid out in raised beds with a cage for soft fruits.
A private driveway provides ample parking and turning for several vehicles and access to the detached double garage.
Other outbuildings include a lean-to store, various sheds, a summer house, and greenhouse, all now in need of repair.
PLANNING HISTORY
In 2011, planning consent was granted by West Devon Borough Council for the construction of two new homes under planning reference 01469/2011 however construction was never begun and the permission has now lapsed. In our opinion, the site may still be of interest to builders and developers and our clients are willing to consider serious proposals.
