Property Description

Additional Information

Detached bungalow with stunning sea and countryside views, several acres of land, extensive parking, outbuildings and versatile accommodation, all close to Northam, Westward Ho! and Bideford.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable detached bungalow set within an exceptional elevated position, enjoying breathtaking far-reaching views across open countryside towards the Northam Burrows Country Park, the coastline, Lundy Island and Crow Point beyond.

The property offers not only a beautifully presented and highly versatile home but also extensive parking, useful outbuildings and several acres of adjoining land, creating a genuine lifestyle opportunity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find, all whilst remaining conveniently located close to the villages of Northam and Westward Ho! together with the town of Bideford. The property also bears witness to truly exceptional sunsets, with the ever-changing coastal skyline providing a spectacular backdrop throughout the year.

A spacious and welcoming Entrance Hall immediately sets the tone for the home, featuring attractive wood block style flooring, a double glazed front door with matching windows and hatch access to the loft space. The Kitchen is a particularly impressive room, generous in size and well-equipped with a range of eye and base level cabinets with matching drawers, complemented by quality work surfaces. There is a built-in fridge and freezer, dishwasher, 1.5 bowl sink and drainer, an induction hob, microwave/air-frying oven and a further electric oven, making this a superb space for both everyday living and entertaining.

A glazed door leads through into the fantastic Living Room which is, undoubtedly, one of the standout features of the home. Two large picture windows frame truly spectacular views across open fields towards the sea and the burrows beyond - a constantly changing outlook that is as captivating in person as it is in the photographs. The room is centred around a charming wood burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, and is further enhanced by additional double glazed windows to either side, allowing natural light to flood the space throughout the day. A double glazed door leads from here into the Conservatory, which, again, captures the very best of the views and enjoys French doors opening out onto the garden, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Bedroom 1 enjoys a particularly pleasant outlook over the front garden and field beyond, again benefiting from the wood block effect flooring, along with 2 fitted mirror-fronted sliding door wardrobes. A further mirror-fronted door opens into an impressive walk-in wardrobe, while another door leads into the well-appointed En-suite, fitted with a large double shower enclosure, a concealed cistern WC, a cabinet mounted wash basin and inset down lights. Bedroom 2 is positioned directly opposite and also overlooks the front garden and fields beyond through a UPVC double glazed window, benefiting from fitted wardrobes (included within the sale( together with double doors opening into a useful cupboard.

The Office, which could equally serve as Bedroom 4 depending on requirements, is centrally positioned and offers excellent versatility for a range of uses, featuring a double glazed window overlooking the garden together with access to a further generously sized walk-in cupboard. A sliding door leads through to Bedroom 3, another good size room with fitted wardrobes (included within the sale) and dual aspect windows providing excellent natural light. This section of the property, together with the adjoining Utility Room has clear potential to be configured as a self-contained Annexe, if required, with the office forming a living space and the utility adapted to create a kitchen, offering superb flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or even home income potential. The En-suite serving Bedroom 3 further supports this versatility. From this area, a gentle slope leads down to the useful Utility Room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, airing cupboard, sink unit and a door leading into a Sun Lounge which enjoys views over a small lawned area and patio, creating a pleasant and practical additional space.

The Family Bathroom is beautifully presented in a contemporary style and is fitted with a large storage cabinet, concealed cistern WC and cabinet mounted wash basin, together with a panelled bath with electric shower over, creating a smart and practical space finished to a high standard.

To the front of the property there is a beautifully presented terraced garden with a gateway and steps rising to the front door, creating an attractive and welcoming approach. A side gate provides access to the driveway, which offers plentiful off-road parking with space for approximately 3-4 vehicles. In addition, there is a further hardstanding area to the front providing excellent additional parking, ideal for a camper van or multiple vehicles, making this a particularly appealing home for those with hobbies, business or trade requirements. Continuing around to the side of the bungalow, gated access leads to another hardstanding area perfectly suited for the parking of a vehicle, trailer or boat, with a lawned area alongside.

A traditional 5-bar gate opens into the field that forms part of the property and extends to several acres (approximately 3.5), also benefiting from a stable and, therefore, ideally suited for equestrian use, a paddock or a variety of lifestyle purposes.

The overall sense of space, openness and opportunity on offer here is quite remarkable.

To the rear of the bungalow, accessed via steps leading down from the conservatory, there is a superb composite decked terrace which perfectly captures the very best of the far-reaching views across the surrounding fields towards the burrows, often with horses and sometimes lambs visible within the landscape, creating a truly picturesque outlook. The grounds here are particularly impressive and offer wonderful scope to host large gatherings, celebrations or summer parties, with generous outdoor space that flows naturally from the house into the gardens and land beyond. The decking leads onto a further lawned garden complemented by a selection of attractive palm trees and a greenhouse. From here, a gateway leads through to a substantial storage shed which offers excellent versatility and could equally serve as a home office or hobby space, if required, benefiting from double glazed sliding doors for natural light and access, with a useful adjoining potting shed incorporated within the same structure. There is access around the bungalow to the front where a covered area provides additional practical outdoor storage, along with a further timber storage shed.

All in all, this is an outstanding home in a truly idyllic yet convenient location, representing a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking space, privacy, land and lifestyle, combined with breathtaking coastal views that change with the seasons, light and time of day. Properties offering this combination of features seldom become available and an early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate everything that is on offer.
