Description

This detached duplex bungalow presents an interesting opportunity for renovation and investment within a spacious plot, offering lovely southerly and westerly views of the Kingsbridge Estuary and the surrounding countryside. Located in the desirable village of West Charleton, this property is ideally positioned on the A379, providing easy access to both Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. The village boasts essential amenities, including a parish church, primary school, village hall, and a local pub, along with regular bus services linking it to nearby towns. Kingsbridge, just a short drive away, offers a comprehensive range of facilities such as supermarkets, independent shops, dining options, a leisure center, and schooling. Additionally, the popular coastal resort of Salcombe is nearby, known for its sailing opportunities and vibrant waterfront atmosphere. The historic naval town of Dartmouth also lies close by, featuring an array of shops, galleries, eateries, and excellent maritime facilities. The property itself has been a cherished family home for many years and is being offered for sale with no onward chain. While currently suitable for immediate occupancy, there is significant potential to modernize and adapt the living spaces to better utilize its prime location. With some thoughtful renovations—especially on the upper floor—there’s considerable scope to enhance its value further. The accommodation begins with a private driveway that leads to multiple parking areas at the front. The ground floor includes a hallway providing access to various reception rooms and bedrooms. The kitchen is equipped with ample cabinetry along with space for appliances such as a washing machine and dishwasher. Connecting through an archway is a bright conservatory/garden room that opens onto a paved terrace leading down to the lawned garden—a great feature for outdoor enjoyment. Two double bedrooms can be found on the ground floor; one features built-in wardrobes while the larger main bedroom includes an en-suite shower room. Complementing this level are additional facilities such as a family shower room and separate WC. Ascending from the sitting room leads to the first floor where another bedroom is located alongside substantial roof voids that offer potential for reconfiguration or even the addition of dormer windows (subject to planning approval). The gardens surrounding the home are noteworthy as well; primarily oriented towards the south with established flowering shrubs reminiscent of previous owners’ gardening endeavors. Additional landscaping opportunities exist in front of the property to enhance its curb appeal. Utility provisions include mains water, drainage, electricity, and oil-fired central heating. Superfast broadband service availability in this area adds further appeal for those looking to modernize or invest in
