Gate Field Road, Bideford, EX39

Extremely smart and very well presented detached 2 bed bungalow having been the subject of considerable expenditure over the last couple of years. Offering highly efficient (EPC rating A) and most comfortable accommodation which enjoys a fine south facing rear aspect and a fabulous 'maintenance free' garden. Situated within a popular residential location on the edge of town and with viewing recommended so the property can be truly appreciated.

Having originally been built in the 1980's the bungalow has at some point been reconfigured to allow the living space to enjoy the open southerly rear aspect. Within the last couple of years the bungalow has been the subject of considerable expenditure which is clear to see when viewing, from the quality of fittings to the smart cosmetic finish. The outside space has also benefitted from extensive improvements, especially to the rear where the garden has been created for ease of maintenance which offers much style and comfort.

The bungalow is situated within the highly popular 'Londonderry Farm' residential development located off Abbotsham Road which is approximately 1 mile or so from the town centre shops and quayside to which there are regular bus services.

There is ready access to the A39 North Devon Link Road (approx. 1/2 mile) and the seaside resort of Westward Ho! is less than 2 miles away where there is a long sandy beach, adjoining Championship Golf Course and miles of unspoilt cliffside walks.

SERVICES: All mains services. Gas fired central heating (new gas combination boiler installed 2024). Upvc double glazed windows. The bungalow benefits from the installation of solar panels, 16 in total, (on the East & West facing roof elevations) which produces its own usable energy as well as an annual income, for last year this was in the region of £850.

COUNCIL TAX BAND: B (information gained via the Directgov Council Tax Valuation List).

TENURE: Freehold.
