There aren’t many bungalows in Torrington that are quite as private as Dalen. Sat on a generous plot with plenty of potential, Dalen actually does have some history behind it. We have been lead to believe that this bungalow was originally built for the first manager of Dartington Crystal, however could now make the perfect home for you.

I want to start by saying yes, this home is in some need of TLC and updating however the potential to turn this into something special is a real possibility. The home has been extended over its lifetime which has now created a beautiful bright and airy dining room with adjoining sunroom that looks out over the garden. The kitchen does need updating however subject to the relevant planning permission, should you chose to extend the bungalow you could create a beautiful space to also include a breakfast space. Alternatively to this, I think should it be possible to knock through to the living room, then this could also create a wonderful kitchen/diner with the living room being moved to the dining room, which has more than enough space. All three bedrooms are good sizes with enough space to fit a double bed in. Bedroom one and three are to the front of the property and benefit from the view out over the garden.

The garden wraps around the home with a patio area to the rear where the greenhouse is located. Perfect for those of you who enjoy growing your own produce. To the front is where you would be wanting to spend most of your time and when the trees are cut back, you encounter a beautiful distant view out over the Devon countryside. The garden is that perfect space between a good size and something that is very much manageable. The garden has many different sections that you could do different things with however it can also be opened up, taking away the different trees and bushes to create one big garden perfect for the family. You can already imagine alfresco dining with friends and family whilst enjoying the best of the Devon sun. The bungalow also has a garage to the side of the home where you will find parking for several cars.

The home is located on the quiet outskirts of town and is just a short walk away from schools and all the amenities Great Torrington has to offer. A bustling and pretty little town, Torrington offers everything from a local butchers, green grocers, bakery, supermarket, take away’s, The Plough Arts Centre, the Pannier Market and the some 365 acres of countryside allowing for miles of scenic walks with access to the locally renowned Tarka trail, a 180 mile footpath / cycle way - mainly built on the bed of the disused Tarka line where the gradients are gentle. It winds its way following the course of the river Torridge as far North as Ilfracombe or going inland South towards Meeth.
