Description
Occupying an enchanting setting within the sought-after village of West Yelland, this unique detached bungalow represents a truly rare opportunity, coming to the open market for the very first time. Set within generous grounds and enjoying charming features, the property offers an exceptional blend of character, privacy and future potential, all within easy reach of the North Devon coastline and the renowned waterside village of Instow.
Approached via an extensive driveway, the property sits proudly within beautifully established, park-like front gardens, creating an impressive sense of arrival. To the rear, mature gardens provide a peaceful and secluded environment, with an abundance of planting, specimen trees and areas to enjoy the surrounding setting.
The accommodation is well balanced and arranged over a single level, comprising a welcoming sitting room, kitchen with traditional larder, rear lobby and porch, two generous double bedrooms and a bathroom. While the property would benefit from updating, it offers tremendous scope for enhancement and presents an exciting canvas for those wishing to create a truly special home.
A particular feature of the property is the scale of the plot and the opportunities it presents. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there is considerable potential to extend, remodel or further develop the existing dwelling, allowing purchasers to maximise both the accommodation and the superb setting. Further benefits include extensive driveway parking, a substantial garage/workshop and a useful outbuilding, ideal for storage, hobbies or ancillary uses.
West Yelland is regarded as one of North Devon's most desirable residential locations, offering convenient access to Barnstaple, Bideford and the region's stunning coastline. Nearby Instow, with its sandy beach, yacht club, popular eateries and vibrant village atmosphere, is just a short distance away, while the Tarka Trail and North Devon's renowned beaches provide endless opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a genuinely unique and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a property of character and potential within one of North Devon's most sought-after settings.
