Description

This spacious detached bungalow, built in the 1960s, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion. With four bedrooms and two reception rooms, the layout is versatile and well-suited for modern living. There is significant potential to enhance this property further by converting the integral garage or utilizing the expansive loft space, pending planning permission. Nestled within mature gardens that provide both seclusion and charm, this home boasts a tranquil setting while remaining conveniently close to Ilfracombe's town centre and its amenities, including beautiful beaches and scenic nature reserves. Accessed via a sweeping private driveway, the property is positioned on an elevated site with appealing views across the area. The interior features generous living spaces; a bright lounge with open views and a central fireplace, a cozy sitting room overlooking the rear garden, a functional kitchen with breakfast area, as well as ample storage throughout. The accommodation is perfect for family living or could cater to dual occupancy arrangements. The existing gardens are established and well-maintained, providing an ideal backdrop for outdoor activities while offering privacy from surrounding properties. Given that it has not been on the market for over 40 years and comes without an upward chain, this bungalow presents a remarkable canvas for investors or those looking to create their dream home in this desirable part of the South West.
