Oakdale Avenue, Swimbridge, Barnstaple

Situated on the edge of the sought after village of Swimbridge sits this 2 bedroom detached bungalow in need of refurbishment. No chain.

As you step through the porch and into 3 Oakdale Avenue, you're welcomed by a bright entrance hall with a handy airing cupboard for storage and access to the roof space. At the heart of the home is a generous lounge and diner, where a working wood burner makes a lovely focal point on cooler evenings, with a window to the front taking in the first glimpse of those countryside views. The kitchen is well fitted with plenty of cupboard and drawer space, room for a washing machine and provision for an electric cooker, leading through to the porch beyond. Both bedrooms are doubles, with the master enjoying built in wardrobes and a real sense of space, while the second bedroom opens via patio doors straight out to the garden. A bathroom and separate cloakroom complete the accommodation. It's a home that has clearly been well loved over the years and now offers a lovely opportunity to add your own stamp.

The gardens here are one of the real highlights. To the front, a lawned area bordered by shrubs and gravel chips sets a pleasant tone, with a private driveway offering ample parking and leading through to the garage, complete with power and light and pedestrian access to the rear. The rear garden is fully enclosed and backs directly onto open fields, giving you a genuinely peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or watch the seasons change over the surrounding countryside. With a lawned area, established flowers and shrubs and a garden shed, there's plenty of scope here too for anyone wanting to put their own touch on things.

Swimbridge is one of those villages that offers the best of both worlds, rural and peaceful, yet only a short drive from Barnstaple for your everyday amenities, schools and transport links. It's a well regarded village with a strong sense of community, and properties here are always in demand. With no onward chain, this is a rare chance to secure a generously proportioned bungalow in a sought after setting, and we'd genuinely recommend a viewing to take in those far reaching countryside views for yourself.
