Description

Gardenia is a two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow located at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac, offering both privacy and a substantial opportunity for renovation and investment. The property has been in the same ownership for nearly 30 years, making this a rare chance for new buyers to put their personal touch on a well-built home from the 1960s. One of the standout features of this bungalow is its generous plot size. The front area includes private driveway parking that can accommodate up to four vehicles. At the back, there is an expansive mature garden, which includes a combination of patio and lawn areas, as well as several outbuildings that present potential for extension or alternative use (subject to planning approval). These outdoor spaces offer ample room for creative landscaping or even additional structures. Inside, the layout comprises an entrance porch leading to a hallway that connects to the main living spaces. The lounge is bright and inviting, with double glazed windows overlooking the rear garden and featuring laminate flooring and a gas fire. The kitchen contains essential fixtures along with space for modern upgrades according to your preferences. A side lobby provides access to the garden, enhancing indoor-outdoor living possibilities. The bungalow houses two well-proportioned double bedrooms; one includes fitted wardrobes while both have substantial window views that allow plenty of natural light. The bathroom features standard amenities including a bath with shower overhead and storage options. This property benefits from its proximity to local amenities such as shops, schools, and public transport routes—making it ideal for families or those seeking convenient living. Just minutes away from Barnstaple town centre, residents can enjoy access to various recreational facilities including leisure centers, cinemas, and parks. Moreover, scenic coastal destinations like Saunton Sands and Woolacombe are within easy reach, appealing to those who value outdoor activities. Overall, Gardenia presents itself as not just a home but also an investment opportunity ripe with potential for modernization or expansion in a desirable area.
