Westward Ho,
Bideford, EX39 1TQ

Originally a 3-bedroom bungalow, now 2 Bedrooms with scope to reinstate the third. Additional Attic Room, adjoining Shower Room, Conservatory, garden, Garage and parking. No chain.

Enjoy coastal walks, village amenities and the space to make a home your own at this detached bungalow in Westward Ho! Set within a tucked-away corner of a cul-de-sac, the property combines generous living accommodation with an enclosed garden, Garage and driveway parking, all within level walking distance of the beach.

Originally arranged with 3 ground floor Bedrooms, the bungalow currently offers 2 double Bedrooms and an enlarged L-shaped Lounge / Diner. The former third Bedroom is open to the living accommodation, providing scope to reinstate a separate Bedroom if preferred. An additional Attic Room with an adjoining Shower Room adds further space upstairs.

GROUND-FLOOR ACCOMMODATION

An Entrance Porch opens into the Hallway, which serves the main accommodation. Both ground floor Bedrooms are doubles, with an en-suite Cloakroom adjoining the Principal Bedroom. A separate Shower Room is also accessed from the Hallway.

The L-shaped Lounge / Diner provides generous space for seating and a dining table. The former third Bedroom forms part of this accommodation; reinstating it would require alterations and reduce the existing living space.

Glazed doors open into the Conservatory, a pleasant place to sit overlooking the rear garden. The fitted Kitchen offers cupboard and worktop space, room for appliances and a door leading outside.

ADDITIONAL ATTIC SPACE

A steep, space-saving paddle staircase with alternating treads leads to the Attic Room. Velux windows provide glimpses across Northam Burrows towards the coastline while an adjoining Shower Room serves this upstairs space.

The Attic Room is described separately from the ground floor Bedrooms. Please refer to the Agents Note below for the information supplied by Torridge District Council.

GARDEN, GARAGE AND PARKING

The enclosed rear garden enjoys a sunny aspect and is predominantly laid with stone chippings complemented by established shrubs, trees and planting. There is room for outdoor seating, together with a garden store and gated side access.

The driveway provides parking for approximately 2–3 vehicles, depending on size, and leads to a Single Garage with an up-and-over door, power and lighting.

LIFE BY THE COAST

Westward Ho! beach, village shops and Northam Burrows are within level walking distance, with the Royal North Devon Golf Club nearby. Cafés, restaurants and coastal walks make this an appealing setting for those looking to enjoy life by the sea.

The property offers an opportunity to update and personalise, with gas central heating and double glazing already installed.

AGENTS NOTE

Torridge District Council’s Building Control department has confirmed that application 1/1388/2006/DEXRG, described as “Ensuite bathroom”, was signed off on 18 August 2006. The council advises that the inspecting officer is no longer employed by it, the records are historic (older than 15 years), and Building Control records are not open to the public. Its written response states: “We would like to think that the building control officer would have noted the use of the room as a bedroom, and assume that they would check compliance with building regulations before signing off the regularisation of the en-suite at that point in time.” The confirmation relates specifically to the en-suite bathroom and does not expressly confirm approval of the entire attic conversion for bedroom use. The Attic Room is therefore excluded from the current bedroom count. Buyers should ask their solicitor and surveyor to review this information.
