Set at the quiet end of a cul‑de‑sac in sought‑after Fremington, this extended three‑bed semi delivers generous living space and genuine family appeal. A large, light lounge flows into an impressive sun room that overlooks a sunny, well‑proportioned rear garden — a natural spot for children’s play or summer entertaining. The house benefits from a newly installed boiler and fast broadband, ready for modern family life.
The garage has been partially converted to provide a utility area and storage; a driveway still provides private off‑street parking. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is existing planning permission to build above the garage to create a fourth en‑suite bedroom, offering clear scope to increase space and resale value (building works will be required).
Practical details: the home is freehold, cavity‑built in the 1980s, double glazed (installation date unknown), and served by mains gas central heating. Fremington village amenities, good primary schools and easy access to the Tarka Trail and nearby estuary make this a convenient base for families who enjoy coastal day trips and local walks.
Considerations: the property currently has one bathroom and the garage conversion reduces original garage storage. The approved extension is a positive opportunity but will require additional investment and building costs. Overall, this is a comfortable, well‑located family home with scope to personalise and add value.
