PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A superbly presented and extensively modernised three-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a lovely plot within the highly sought-after Rumsam area of Barnstaple. Having been the subject of considerable expenditure by the current owners, this spacious home offers stylish and versatile accommodation, generous off-road parking and a beautifully landscaped rear garden. Available with no onward chain.

The property is approached over a large brick-paved driveway, providing parking for several vehicles. The frontage has also been improved by the current owners, including the widening of the upper section of the driveway together with associated wall and brickwork improvements.

A front door opens into the entrance hall, which gives access to the principal accommodation. Immediately to the right is a generous dual-aspect lounge/dining room, a bright and spacious reception room offering ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining table. The room has been redecorated and partially replastered and also benefits from electric blinds.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly impressive feature of the home and has been completely refitted to a high standard. The attractive modern kitchen includes a comprehensive range of units and work surfaces together with Bosch appliances, including an eye-level double oven and four-ring ceramic hob. Further features include a 2 in 1 kitchen tap, with pull out spray head and integrated water filter, and contemporary lighting. As part of the refurbishment, the kitchen was completely stripped out and upgraded with a new subfloor, underfloor insulation, new electrics, flooring and lighting, creating a stylish yet highly practical space.

Adjoining the kitchen is a separate utility room, also refitted by the current owners, with further worktop space, wall and base units, space for laundry appliances and a useful ceiling-mounted drying rack.

Towards the rear of the bungalow are three bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two are both well-proportioned double rooms. Bedroom one has benefited from further improvements including new floorboards, replastering, redecoration and new carpeting, whilst Bedroom two has been replastered, redecorated and newly carpeted.
Bedroom three is currently used as a dressing room and features an excellent range of full-height fitted wardrobes extending across an entire wall. The room could be returned to use as a conventional third bedroom if required.

The family bathroom has been completely remodelled and enlarged following the removal of the former water tank cupboard. It is now fitted with an attractive contemporary three-piece suite, complemented by stylish wall panelling, an illuminated demister mirror and a large, heated ladder radiator which can be operated by either the central heating system or by electricity, allowing smart energy efficiency. The bathroom also includes a generous bath with folding screen, rainfall shower and handheld shower attachment.

In addition, there is a separate shower room, which has also been completely refurbished and tastefully finished. This features a large shower enclosure with rainfall and handheld shower fittings, modern sanitary ware, useful shelving, contemporary wall panelling and an illuminated demister mirror.

Accessed just off bedroom three is a spacious and versatile sunroom, currently used as a study and hobbies room. This could lend itself to a wide variety of uses. Improvements include an insulated internal ceiling, new flooring and an electric blind, helping make the room suitable for more comfortable year-round use.

Externally, the rear garden is one of the property's standout features. The current owners have undertaken extensive landscaping to create a beautifully presented and highly private outdoor space. The garden enjoys good levels of sunlight throughout the day and incorporates a level lawn, attractive pathways, newly created patio and seating areas and a further landscaped seating space. Bordered by mature shrubs and hedging, with attractive planting and pots creating a colourful and well-established setting. New steps from the sunroom provide easy access into the garden and help create a natural flow between the indoor and outdoor living areas.

At the far end of the garden is a substantial recently installed timber workshop, providing excellent storage and hobby space.

Further significant improvements undertaken by the current owners have included improving the EPC rating from D to C, a new main roof, a new flat roof to the utility room, replacement guttering, a new combi boiler, replacement solid-core internal doors and extensive upgrading throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, utility room, bedrooms and sunroom.

This represents a rare opportunity to purchase a spacious, stylish and comprehensively improved detached bungalow in one of Barnstaple's most sought-after residential areas. With generous parking, flexible three-bedroom accommodation, two beautifully appointed bath/shower rooms, a superb kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility, versatile sunroom and a wonderfully landscaped garden, an internal viewing is strongly recommended.
