3 bed bungalow for sale

Bideford, Devon EX39

Occupying a gently sloping and generously sized plot on one of East-the-Water’s most sought after roads, this spacious 3 Bedroom detached brick-built bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a home with strong potential.

Set back behind a large single driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to a Garage (measuring approximately 18' x 18'), the property boasts charming kerb appeal thanks to its attractive lawned front garden, mature hedge borders and tasteful planting.

Inside, the bungalow offers 2 good sized double Bedrooms enjoying views over the rear garden, while a third smaller Bedroom would serve equally well as a home office. The Shower Room is well-equipped with a rainfall shower and hand attachment, a pedestal wash hand basin, a WC and a deep shelved storage cupboard. The Living Room is bright and spacious with ample room for dining and relaxing, and a large picture window framing beautiful far-reaching countryside views. A door leads through to a well-proportioned Kitchen with built-in double oven and gas hob, a 1.5 bowl sink unit, plentiful cupboard and drawer storage, an airing cupboard with hot water tank and shelving and a wall mounted Worcester gas fired combination boiler. From here, a UPVC double glazed door opens to the front of the home.

The enclosed rear garden offers both privacy and scope for landscaping, beginning with a patio and rising to a lawn with flowering shrubs, hedges, an ornamental tree and a low-maintenance side area. There’s also a handy potting shed attached to the garage - ideal for gardening enthusiasts.

While the property would benefit from some updating, it remains a solid and appealing bungalow offered for sale with no onward chain.

It operates fairly independently as it has its own shops, community hall and a well-regarded primary school. East-The-Water was once the mining heart of North Devon, with the unique form of coal, Bideford Black, sourced from the area all the way to the sea. Chudleigh Fort and park is close by and commands great views of Bideford and the old bridge. When you need to be practical, one of the towns largest supermarkets is also very close by on foot.

In the wider area, Bideford boasts a host of pubs, restaurants, a weekly cinema and various sporting clubs to join/follow. It has many open spaces to explore as well as pleasant river walks along the River Torridge or by the working Quay. Bideford also supports a raft of interesting independent shops and small businesses in its narrow streets. Check out the Pannier Market and Market Place shops for its array of craft and farm food stores.

East-The-Water is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east.
