Spacious single‑storey home in Musbury with garage, garden and renovation potential.
Chain free three-bedroom detached bungalow on a large plot
Set on a generous plot in the quiet East Devon village of Musbury, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-storey living with substantial scope to modernise. The layout includes a spacious living/dining room opening to a conservatory, a good-size kitchen, three double bedrooms and a shower room, plus a separate WC. Parking is private with a gated driveway and single garage, and useful outbuildings include a stone potting shed.
The property dates from the 1970s and sits on traditional granite/whinstone walls (no assumed cavity insulation). Windows are mainly uPVC and oil-fired central heating serves the house via a Worcester boiler. The bungalow is chain free and suits buyers seeking level living in a rural village — retirees or downsizers wanting easy access to local amenities and countryside walks.
Material points to note: the house needs renovation and cosmetic updating throughout. Some maintenance is apparent externally (moss on paving) and the walls are likely uninsulated; buyers should allow for upgrading heating, insulation and internal finishes. Flood risk in the area is described as medium; buyers should carry out their own checks. Council Tax Band D and broadband/mobile coverage are good.
In short, this is a straightforward, spacious bungalow in a pleasant village setting with parking, garden and garage — a sensible project for someone wanting comfortable single-level living with the potential to add modern energy efficiency and contemporary styling.
