Chain free sale, ready for prompt completion
Large corner plot with patio, greenhouse and mature planting
Panoramic river and countryside views from first-floor master

Set on a generous corner plot in Sticklepath, this detached 1960s bungalow offers sweeping countryside and river views and comes to market chain free. The extended ground-floor lounge/diner is bright and spacious, while the sizeable rear garden, greenhouse and patio create strong outdoor potential for gardeners and pet owners. Parking is practical with one driveway space and a single garage.
The chalet layout provides flexible accommodation: three bedrooms plus a fourth room currently used for storage, and two shower rooms (one on each level). The first-floor master enjoys panoramic views over the river and countryside and benefits from eaves storage. The ground-floor living spaces and kitchen are functional but dated, offering an opportunity to modernise and reconfigure into a contemporary social hub.
Important practical points are clear and factual: the property was built in the 1950–66 era and retains period fittings in places, so it will suit buyers prepared to update bathrooms, kitchen and decor. There are internal stairs to the first-floor bedroom, so this is not a single-level bungalow throughout. Crime statistics for the area are noted as higher than average — buyers should consider security measures. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, local schools and the Tarka Trail are within walking distance, and there is no flood risk.
Overall, this home will appeal to downsizers seeking spacious, private grounds with scope to add contemporary finishes, or families wanting proximity to schools and outdoor routes. The sale being chain free should aid a relatively swift move for a buyer ready to invest in modernisation.
