This detached four-bedroom bungalow is situated in a commanding location, offering expansive views over the charming village of Weare Giffard. While the property requires renovation, it presents a unique opportunity for investment, with substantial potential to modernize and enhance its appeal.
Nestled in the picturesque village near the southern bank of the River Torridge, this home enjoys proximity to essential amenities such as a village hall, parish church, playground, and the local pub, ‘Cyder Presse’. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Tarka Trail, which provides excellent pathways for walking and cycling that connect to Torrington and Barnstaple.
Great Torrington, located just 2.3 miles away, offers a wider array of services and facilities including shops and educational institutions for all ages. The coastal towns of Bideford (4 miles) and popular beach destinations like Westward Ho!, Appledore, and Instow (approximately 7 miles) offer additional shopping options and leisure activities.
The bungalow itself features a spacious layout that includes a large sitting room with triple aspect windows and an open fire, leading to a dining room that basks in natural light. The kitchen/breakfast area is functional but could benefit from contemporary upgrades. Four generously sized double bedrooms provide flexibility in space usage; three are equipped with basins for added convenience. The family bathroom has been converted into a practical wetroom.
Outside, the property boasts private gardens with terraced lawns and mature shrubs. A gravel driveway offers ample parking space while leading to approximately one acre of adjacent paddock land. This area has historical planning approval for the construction of an additional three-bedroom bungalow—an attractive prospect for those looking to expand or diversify their investment.
The elevation of this property not only offers stunning views but also enhances its desirability within the community. With all main services connected, alongside good mobile coverage options, Bracken Haven stands as an enticing project for those seeking to expand their portfolio or create a personalized family retreat in an idyllic setting.
