Summary - 128 THE SHIELDS ILFRACOMBE EX34 8JX
3 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Three-bed detached bungalow with balcony views and garage, chain free.
Elevated detached bungalow with panoramic sea and town views
Set on an elevated plot with far-reaching views across Ilfracombe to the Bristol Channel and Wales, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable, low‑maintenance living in a sought-after coastal neighbourhood. The split-level layout delivers a bright lounge that opens onto a balcony for year-round sea views, a practical kitchen with integrated appliances, and three well-proportioned bedrooms. An integral garage, driveway parking and a sunny, easy-care garden complete the practical package.
The property was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and is offered chain free, so a swift move is possible. It suits families who want proximity to town and schools, retirees seeking one-level living with views, or buyers looking for a comfortable home in a quiet, low-crime area. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working needs, and everyday amenities are an easy walk away.
There are some material points to note: the property’s cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation and the glazing installation date is unknown, so upgrading insulation or windows could improve energy efficiency and running costs. The home has one bathroom, which may be a limitation for larger households. Council tax is moderate, and there is no flooding risk.
Overall, 128 The Shields is a tidy, well-presented bungalow in a desirable elevated position with rare coastal outlooks. It offers immediate liveability with sensible scope for energy-efficiency improvements and modest updating, making it attractive to retiring buyers, families and anyone seeking a peaceful coastal base.
