Compton Road, West Charleton

A well-planned, spacious detached bungalow with three good-sized bedrooms, occupying a sunny south-facing position and commanding panoramic views of the South Hams countryside, officially designated as the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These include views towards Salcombe and the sheltered waters of the Kingsbridge Estuary.

Located in the peaceful village of West Charleton—just two miles east of the town of Kingsbridge with its picturesque quayside, promenade, and embankment—the village offers a nursery and primary school, community hall, church, public house, and a scenic bus stop on the A379 Plymouth–Dartmouth route.

Positioned approximately 150 feet above sea level, the bungalow occupies a desirable and elevated corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac. This private location, likely among the largest in the development, is bordered by open countryside on the north and east sides, ensuring a high degree of privacy.

The property is accessed via two tarmac driveways: the east drive leads to a large hardstanding area ideal for a boat or caravan. The west drive provides access to an attached garage. Together, they offer ample off-road parking for multiple family-sized vehicles- ideal for guests or multi-vehicle households.

Gardens to the front and rear are extensive and mature, with lawns, a wide range of trees, shrubs, and flowering plants—an ideal space for enthusiastic gardeners. The front garden features flower beds, stone walls, and a metal-railed veranda beneath the lounge window—perfect for enjoying the elevated estuary views. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn, with a central flowerbed, west-facing border, mature tree screening, and excellent privacy. Decorative stone areas, pathways, steps, and a ramp ensure easy access. A five-bar wooden gate (currently disused) offers restoration potential.

The bungalow offers excellent opportunities for redecoration, refurbishment, and development, and is available with vacant possession.

The open-plan L-shaped lounge and dining room is a standout space, with wide windows capturing the stunning estuary views. A stone-effect fireplace provides a cosy focal point, complemented by remote-controlled roller blinds, two double radiators, TV/satellite points, thermostat, and ceiling lighting. The dining area overlooks the rear garden.

The kitchen includes worktops, a stainless steel sink, space and plumbing for appliances, an electric cooker point with concealed extractor, and a larder cupboard housing the fuse box. A separate boiler cupboard contains a Worcester Danesmoor oil-fired boiler with a new (2024) Honeywell Home programmer. Natural light enters through a window with a roller blind; a door leads to a covered side porch with access to both front and rear gardens.

There are three bedrooms: Two doubles, including a bright, south-facing main bedroom. A third single bedroom, suitable as a home office or nursery. All are equipped with radiators, lighting, and power points.
