DESCRIPTION
Pickard Wood is a very well-presented, unique three-bedroom bungalow with approximately 8.5 acres of its own woodland. The home is located in a quiet, private, and simply tranquil setting, although it is only a short walk from the village of Roborough. We believe the property was built in 1968. In more recent years, the accommodation has been upgraded, extended, and remodelled to provide roomy, adaptable, and contemporary living. Outside, there is plenty of parking, a garage/workshop, a south-facing garden, and vegetable garden with a useful outbuilding and log store, all surrounded by natural woodland and with views of the surrounding countryside.

Properties like Pickard Wood do not come on the market very often, therefore this would be a superb and rare opportunity for someone to buy a fantastic property located in a timeless and rural environment.
