The area is well served by excellent state and private schools. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter.

Description - This detached and spacious bungalow has been thoughtfully extended and remodelled over the years, now offering immaculately presented accommodation throughout. Set on a generous corner plot within a quiet cul-de-sac, the property enjoys private wrap-around gardens, off-road parking and a garage. Its position places it within close proximity to the Tarka Trail, Fremington Quay, and a wide range of local amenities, making it an ideal blend of comfort, convenience and peaceful living.

Accommodation - The entrance hall is spacious and filled with natural light, providing access to all accommodation. At the front of the property is a generous double bedroom with its own ensuite, including a shower, WC and sink. A further double bedroom sits to the rear and is currently used as a dining room, though it could easily serve as an additional bedroom, especially as it also benefits from an attached ensuite with shower, WC and sink.

The kitchen–diner enjoys direct access to the garden via sliding doors and features a modern fitted kitchen with granite worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. These include two eye-level ovens, a microwave, induction hob with extractor, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer and a wine cooler, creating a highly practical and stylish cooking space.

The living room is a bright and comfortable space with windows to the front and French doors opening to the garden. A woodburner adds warmth and character, making it an inviting room for relaxation. Two further double bedrooms enjoy pleasant views over the garden, with the principal bedroom also benefitting from built-in wardrobes. Completing the accommodation is a well-appointed family bathroom with a built-in vanity unit with sink, WC and a shower enclosure.

Outside - The property enjoys well-presented, sunny wrap-around gardens, beautifully stocked with mature borders and offering a high degree of privacy thanks to its corner-plot position. A patio area provides an inviting space for seating, leading on to a large decked area and a brick-paved terrace. From here, there is easy access to both the garage and the driveway.

The driveway provides off road parking and leads to a single garage and workshop, fitted with an electric roller door. A pedestrian gate opens onto a pathway that leads to the front door, completing the practical and welcoming approach to the property.
