Bonehill Bungalow Widecombe-in-the-Moor | | TQ13 7TD Bonehill Bungalow

An extremely spacious and fully refurbished detached chalet style bungalow situated in an idyllic location in Widecombe-In-The-Moor benefiting from a quiet position close to rural walks and surrounded by rolling countryside and charming cottages. Dartmoor has a beautifully rich and varied landscape, with purple heather-clad moorland, rolling valleys and ancient forests as well as many wonderfully obscure shaped tors, one of which lends its name to this charming property. Bonehill Bungalow is situated in the heart of the National Park on the fringes of the pretty village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor. The property was built in 1934 and purchased by the father of the current owner in 1974, and has remained within the family to this day. In 2012 the entire property was stripped back to its bare bones until just the four external walls were left standing. An extension was added and an ambitious project of renovation was embarked upon, the result of which is a property that is now a really charming and beautifully presented family home in a truly outstanding location. Bonehill Bungalow provides a rare opportunity to enjoy all the modern conveniences that contemporary living has to offer, in surroundings that are steeped in history and natural beauty.

The property was built into the side of a hill, so the majority of the main living areas are slightly raised and therefore take full advantage of the stunning views that surround the house. From the formal dining room French doors open out onto a Juliette balcony which has an outlook over the stunning garden and beyond to Hameldown Tor and the beautiful valley, and from the study one can look out on to Bonehill Rocks, from where the house takes its name. The living room is a particularly lovely area of this property, as it is a large room with two sets of French doors leading out onto a raised patio terrace. During the winter it makes for a cosy retreat while the rain beats down on the surrounding countryside, and during the summer months the doors can be flung open to allow the house and everyday life to flow beautifully into the stunning outdoors.

Bonehill Bungalow sits in around three quarters of an acre of lovely grounds. To both the front and rear of the property there are wide expanses of lawn surrounded by a beautiful natural boundary of hedging and trees. The entire space makes for the most wonderful natural playground, in which children can run around, climb trees and enjoy endless games of hide and seek. It is also a very tranquil and secluded place, perfect for sitting quietly on a summer’s afternoon enjoying the glorious views of the stunning landscape beyond.

This lovely home enjoys a quite extraordinary setting, and though surrounded by many acres of beautiful moorland, it is by no means isolated. Just over half a mile away is the centre of the village, which has a friendly community and a good array of shops and amenities. Both Ashburton and are around twenty minutes away, and in just over half an hour one can be enjoying the golden sands of the beaches of .
