Description

This detached two-bedroom bungalow presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment, situated in a tranquil location accessed via an unmade track. The property is positioned close to the picturesque Speke's Mill Mouth waterfall and the South West Coast Path, providing immediate access to breathtaking coastal and countryside walks. The serene valley setting is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of options for riding and cycling. Located approximately three miles from the vibrant village of Hartland, residents can enjoy a range of local amenities, including cafes, shops, a Post Office, pubs, a medical center, and a primary school. Hartland boasts community spirit alongside attractions such as Hartland Abbey and the 16th-century quay with its shipwreck museum. Additional facilities can be found in Bideford and Bude, both around 15 miles away, while Barnstaple is accessible in about 45 minutes by car. Entering the market for the first time in four decades, this bungalow invites buyers to add their own personal touch. While it requires updating and general modernization, it offers substantial potential for development to transform it into a more contemporary home, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. The layout includes an entrance porch leading into a cozy living room featuring a fireplace and front window. An inner hallway connects two bedrooms, the bathroom, and the kitchen equipped with built-in storage space along with an oil-fired Rayburn stove. From here, there is also access to the rear garden. Set on a generous plot with gardens surrounding the property, outdoor space includes an attached single garage and a paved terrace at the front adorned with various plants and shrubs that provide year-round color. The private rear garden boasts a terraced design predominantly laid to lawn, offering seclusion as well as scenic views of the adjacent woodland and countryside—a true sanctuary for wildlife enthusiasts. Additional features include a block-built shed and wood store. Essential property information encompasses oil-fired heating from the Rayburn stove as well as electric storage heaters. Water supply is private along with drainage facilities. Constructed from traditional blocks with a slate roof and wooden-framed windows, access is facilitated via an unmade track. Notably, ultrafast broadband availability makes this location even more appealing for remote work or high-speed internet needs. Please note that a survey has identified Japanese Knotweed on-site; interested parties are encouraged to seek further details on management options.
