Cherry Tree Drive, ...

An individual three-bedroom detached bungalow occupying a generous south-facing plot in the heart of Brixton. Spacious, versatile accommodation with extensive mature gardens, driveway parking, a garage and countryside views towards the church. Requiring modernisation, it offers scope to create a distinctive village home and is available with no onward chain.
Occupying a generous, south-facing plot in an established village setting, this individual detached bungalow believed to date from the mid-1950s. With an appealing sense of space and presence, the property offers versatile single-storey accommodation, extensive gardens and far-reaching countryside views towards the parish church. Although now requiring modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a highly individual home, subject to any necessary consents.
The bungalow is approached from Cherry Tree Drive through a stone-walled entrance onto a broad driveway, providing off-road parking and access to a detached garage. Established planting softens the frontage, while the position of the house within its plot gives a welcome feeling of privacy and individuality.
Inside, the hallway forms the central spine of the accommodation. The principal reception room is a bright, dual-aspect sitting room, with broad windows drawing in natural light and framing views across the garden. Sliding glazed doors open directly onto the south-facing terrace, creating a natural connection between the living space and the grounds beyond. A fireplace provides a focal point and reinforces the room’s comfortable proportions.
Glazed double doors lead into the conservatory, an inviting additional reception space with extensive glazing, garden access and an outlook over the lawn and mature planting. Whether used for quiet relaxation, entertaining or simply enjoying the changing seasons, it makes the most of the bungalow’s sunny orientation and rural outlook.
The separate dining room provides ample space for family meals and gatherings, with a window towards the conservatory and direct access to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is generously proportioned and arranged with a range of fitted units, work surfaces, sink, freestanding cooker and spaces for several appliances. Multiple windows bring in plenty of daylight, while an adjoining side lobby offers an independent external entrance and practical access to the rest of the home.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, allowing the accommodation to adapt readily to differing needs. The principal bedroom is a spacious dual-aspect room overlooking the gardens. A second double bedroom includes a broad window and fitted mirrored wardrobes, while the third bedroom is currently arranged as a study and benefits from windows to two elevations. This flexible room would work equally well as a guest bedroom, home office or hobby space.
The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath, pedestal basin and WC. In addition, there is a separate wet room with a level-access shower area, WC and basin.
The gardens are a defining feature, extending predominantly to the south, they comprise a broad lawn bordered by mature hedging, trees, shrubs and colourful planted beds. A paved terrace beside the bungalow provides an excellent place for outdoor dining, while a small wildlife pond adds interest and character. Stone walls, meandering paths, a greenhouse and productive garden areas further enhance the grounds. From several vantage points there are delightful views across the surrounding countryside and towards the distinctive church tower, giving the garden a particularly memorable sense of place.
Brixton is a well-regarded South Hams village with a local shop, primary school, pub, church and regular bus connections.
