Description

Nestled in a serene cul-de-sac within the desirable coastal village of Westward Ho!, this spacious detached bungalow offers potential buyers a fantastic opportunity for transformation. With captivating views over Northam Burrows Country Park and the Atlantic Ocean, the home is conveniently located just a short walk from local amenities, including the Royal North Devon Golf Club and picturesque Northam Burrows.

Characterized by generously sized rooms, the property presents considerable scope for modernization to create a residence tailored to personal preferences. The welcoming Reception Hall features a fitted cloaks cupboard and provides internal access to an expansive garage. A Study adjoins, leading into a Utility Room equipped with essential facilities; these spaces could be reconfigured to form an additional bedroom suite or expanded living area, depending on your vision.

The Kitchen / Breakfast Room overlooks the rear garden and, while it requires updating, holds substantial potential for conversion into a contemporary culinary space.

A highlight of the property is the sizeable Lounge / Dining Room which surpasses 23 feet in length. This light-filled area showcases panoramic views of Northam Burrows and beyond through its bay window. It accommodates ample space for both dining and relaxation, enhanced by a log effect gas fire.

The Inner Hallway leads to a Bathroom and separate WC, while the Principal Bedroom captures stunning coastal vistas. The second double Bedroom is well-appointed with built-in storage and connects to an adjoining kitchenette area that offers the possibility for expansion or en-suite conversion with appropriate permissions.

Externally, the south-facing rear garden is generously proportioned, predominantly laid to lawn, featuring extensive paved areas alongside vibrant flower borders. An appealing recessed section with scenic views would be ideal for a summerhouse or raised deck installation.

At the front, off-road parking is provided via a private driveway leading up to the large Garage complemented by an adjoining landscaped garden area.
