3 Bed Detached House For Sale

An energy efficient bungalow in a spectacular plot with uninterrupted views to open Moorland. 'Whispering Winds' offers comfortable accommodation with three bedrooms and is situated at the end of a private driveway in the historic village of Brentor.

This south facing property sits on a gently sloping site extending to circa 0.45 acres that includes beautifully manicured gardens, expansive parking for 5+ vehicles, and a versatile range of outbuildings. Improved and upgraded by the current owners, this property now offers photovoltaic panels coupled to an air-source heat pump which reduces the overall running costs significantly.

A covered porch opens into an entrance hall with quarry tiled floor and a separate boot/utility room which houses the hot water tanks and heating system. The 19' kitchen/breakfast room offers a range of fitted cabinets and includes an LPG fuelled hob, an integrated double oven, and integrated fridge/freezer. Patio doors open into the conservatory which makes the most of the exceptional views across the garden and to Dartmoor. The fully insulated roof in conservatory means this room is comfortable for use all year round. The dual aspect living room again spans the depth of the property and enjoys and inset wood-burning stove and further patio doors onto the South-facing terrace.

A bright hallway with patio doors and built-in storage leads you through to the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom offers built in wardrobes and is located at the front of the property which makes the most of the beautiful views. The other two, double bedrooms are located at the rear of the property and again offer in-built storage. The third bedroom has a rear door which opens into a useful garden room/utility which offers plumbing for a washing machine. The recently renovated bathroom is well appointed with a large walk-in shower and generous vanity unit.

The private driveway leads you down to the property which sits in the middle of a generous and private, south facing plot that is bordered by Devon hedges. You will initially find a large, gravelled parking area for multiple vehicles cars and a separate hardstanding. The large timber garage offers excellent storage with an electric roller door. The main part of the garden is located to the front of the property and enjoys a southerly aspect. The garden is a true asset to the current owners and includes an array of well planted beds surrounding a well-manicured lawn. A small brook runs across the bottom of the garden which is a lovely feature that feeds some small ponds. There is a large and productive vegetable garden which is fully enclosed.

Behind the property is a further lawned area and more herbaceous borders. At the top of the site is a block-built outbuilding which could be utilised for many different needs including a home office. This building has three areas internally and enjoys electricity, lighting, and windows overlooking the garden. There are two other detached sheds for added storage.

The property is supplied by mains electricity, water, and drainage. The current vendors have upgraded the property with an efficient air-source heat pump in 2023 to heat the property. This is coupled to the photovoltaic panel system which generates in excess of £2500 per year in income. All of this works symbiotically to lower the running costs of the house and improve the environmental impact.

This superb home offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking for a taste of the 'The Good Life' all within a beautiful and private setting that really needs to be seen to be appreciated.
