Description - Avalon is a detached three bedroom bungalow, occupying an elevated position at the end of a private driveway on the edge of the sought-after village of Stokenham. The property enjoys outstanding south easterly views over rolling countryside and across to the sea at Slapton Sands. Offering excellent privacy and with huge potential, Avalon is ideal for those seeking a coastal home with potential for further development.

Believed to have been built in the late 1960s, Avalon has been modernised and remodelled during the current vendor’s seven years of ownership. The home is well-presented and ready to be enjoyed as is, but also offers significant potential for enhancement. A neighbouring property has been extended into a striking two-storey house to maximise the superb sea views – something that could also be considered at Avalon. The roof space, in particular, offers scope for conversion, with dormer windows potentially unlocking even more of the panoramic vistas.

Accommodation - The property is approached via a private driveway that provides ample parking for four vehicles, alongside a single adjoining garage.

Steps lead up through a charming conservatory, featuring a mature grapevine that yields a reliable crop of edible grapes each year. A door opens into a central entrance hall with engineered oak flooring (with thermal insulation beneath) which continues throughout the main living areas.

There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all carpeted for comfort. To the rear is a separate WC and a family bathroom with an electric shower over the bath.
There is a generous open-plan sitting and dining room with large windows provide beautiful views of the garden and countryside, with clear sight of the sea at Slapton Sands. Within the chimney breast is a Flavel multifuel stove with lined flue and a slate hearth. The recently installed aluminium-framed bifold doors open onto the level garden, perfect for entertaining or enjoying the views.

An archway connects the dining area to the kitchen, which can also be accessed from the hall. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and eye-level units, a breakfast bar, and a comprehensive suite of integrated appliances including a Rangemaster Professional electric range cooker

A stable door leads to the utility room, which includes plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Garden & Grounds - The gardens lie mainly to the south of the property and are accessed via stone steps from the drive, leading down through a landscaped terrace to a gently sloping lawn. The grounds feature mature trees, former vegetable beds, and a timber potting shed discreetly positioned near the driveway for tool storage.
To the side, the garden slopes gently down to an orchard area, with apple trees, a sunken trampoline, and a children’s climbing fort. The main level lawned area is readily accessed directly via the bifold doors from the main reception room. A breezeblock retaining wall separates this area from a raised seating area – a perfect vantage point for appreciating the stunning countryside and distant sea views. To the rear of the property are several established trees including a magnificent magnolia, a large fig tree, and a fishpond.

Outbuildings - Detached timber artist’s studio to the rear of the garden, with insulated flooring, electricity, ideal for creative use or as a quiet retreat. To the side of the driveway is a purpose-built timber shed used as a workshop and for secure bicycle storage. Accessed from the rear of the single garage is an external WC and a garden store.
