Description
Chequers Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this spacious and versatile detached two-bedroom bungalow, set on an impressive corner plot within one of Barnstaple’s most established and desirable residential locations. Occupying a generous and well-tended garden setting, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional single-storey home with excellent potential, offered to the market with no onward sales chain.
Built in the 1960s and retaining many original features, the bungalow has been well maintained over the years and offers a well-proportioned and practical layout, ideal for those seeking a comfortable home with scope to personalise or modernise to taste.
Upon entering, you are welcomed via an enclosed storm porch into a spacious and light-filled entrance hallway, which gives access to all principal rooms. The main reception room is a wonderful dual-aspect lounge and dining space, featuring a central fireplace with gas fire, two large picture windows allowing natural light to flood in, and plenty of room for both relaxed seating and formal dining.

A door leads to a useful rear lobby, providing direct access to the garden and connecting internally to the garage, as well as a convenient cloakroom with WC and wash basin—perfect for visiting guests or gardening days.
The two double bedrooms are both generously sized, enjoying pleasant aspects and large windows, with space for freestanding furniture or built-in wardrobes if desired. The property also features a well-appointed wet room designed for accessibility and ease, featuring a walk-in shower with splashback surround, low-level WC, and pedestal wash hand basin.
Externally, the bungalow is surrounded by mature gardens on three sides, offering privacy, colour and charm. The front and side gardens are laid mainly to lawn, bordered by an array of shrubs, established planting, and specimen trees. To the rear, a private paved courtyard provides an ideal area for alfresco dining or relaxing in the sun, and a useful timber shed offers garden storage.
The property further benefits from a single garage with light and power, an up-and-over door, and a driveway providing off-road parking.
