A versatile single-storey home with a stylish one-bedroom annex, set on The Shields with wide, elevated views across Ilfracombe and the surrounding countryside. The main bungalow provides two double bedrooms, a living room, fitted kitchen and a useful lean-to/utility, while the annex has its own entrance, double bedroom, shower room and open-plan living — ideal for multi-generational use, long-term guests or rental income.
Outside offers low-maintenance, terraced gardens arranged over two tiers, a paved front patio to enjoy the outlook, and a private driveway for off-road parking. The plot is a decent size for a bungalow and benefits from a quiet, sought-after position close to Bicclescombe Park and the town’s amenities.
Buyers should note several practical points: the property is freehold, built in the late 1960s/1970s with filled cavity walls and double glazing of unknown age, and is served by mains utilities. Records give mixed information about heating (vendor notes mains gas; property data lists electric storage heaters) — heating type should be verified. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the site sits in a medium flood-risk area, which are important for occupants and short-term rental plans.
Overall this is a comfortable, well-presented bungalow that will suit families looking for a single-level home with flexible accommodation, downsizers who want an independent annex, or investors seeking a let-able annex in a popular coastal town. Inspectors and buyers should check heating, services and flood arrangements before committing.
