Accommodation

Entering through the front door, a central hallway provides access to the principal rooms. To the left is the bright and welcoming sitting room, enjoying a double aspect with a window to the front and double doors opening directly onto the garden at the side. An electric fireplace creates an attractive focal point, complemented by useful built-in storage units positioned to either side. Bedroom two is positioned to the front of the property and benefits from a window overlooking the garden. From here, stairs rise to a converted loft space, providing a particularly versatile addition to the accommodation. Complete with a rear-facing window and useful eaves storage, this space lends itself perfectly to use as a home office or study and could equally provide a nursery or occasional room. This arrangement also gives the second bedroom excellent flexibility, potentially allowing it to function as the principal bedroom with its own additional space above.

The main bedroom is another well-proportioned room, with a window to the side aspect and bespoke fitted wardrobes positioned either side of the chimney breast, providing excellent storage. The shower room is smartly presented and fitted with a suite comprising a seated shower enclosure with aqua-panelled surrounds, WC and wash hand basin, together with an obscured window to the side. The modern kitchen is well equipped with a range of fitted units and work surfaces incorporating a composite sink, integrated dishwasher and five-ring gas range with extractor above. There is space for a fridge/freezer, while the combination boiler is also housed within the kitchen. An adjoining dining/breakfast area provides space for a table and chairs, creating a sociable everyday living space. To the rear, the conservatory provides a pleasant additional reception area overlooking and opening towards the garden, while a separate utility room offers further storage, plumbing for a washing machine and a rear-facing window. The property has been professionally decorated throughout and is presented in superb condition, allowing a new owner to move in and enjoy the home immediately.

Outside & parking

One of the particularly appealing features of the property is the generous outside space, with gardens wrapping around approximately three sides of the bungalow. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are complemented by a variety of established shrubs and small trees. An outside tap is also provided. To the side is a particularly private and sunny southerly-facing section of garden, enclosed by fencing and providing an excellent space for outdoor seating, entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine.

A gated driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles with a very convenient additional parking space for visitors immediately outside the gated driveway. This driveway leads to a detached garage, which is accessed via an up-and-over door and provides useful additional parking or storage. There is lighting & power within the garage. There is a useful potting/storage shed attached to the side of the garage & extending behind it with its own power & lighting.

Offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, this beautifully maintained bungalow represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a ready-to-move-into home within one of Barnstaple’s most popular residential areas.
