This substantial single-storey bungalow sits on a very large south-facing plot within the private Willowhayne estate, just a short walk from the beach. The single-level layout and four double bedrooms make it comfortable for those wanting to downsize without sacrificing space; the generous lounge and formal dining room provide flexible living areas and scope for an open-plan redesign.
Practical strengths include two double garages and a carriage driveway offering extensive parking and storage, and the property is offered chain free for a quicker move. The plot depth and wide frontage give clear potential to extend or reconfigure the footprint (subject to consents), so there is strong scope to add modern living features or to create a bespoke coastal home.
Buyers should note the property's age and likely need for updating: the construction dates to the 1950s–1960s, cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the age/quality of double glazing is unknown. Internal condition and services were not verified from images, so a programme of modernisation is probable to unlock full value. Council tax is reported as quite expensive, broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to weigh if remote working or heavy connectivity matters.
Overall this is a rare, roomy detached bungalow in an affluent coastal setting, ideal for downsizers who prioritise single-floor living, outdoor space and proximity to the sea, and who are willing to invest in refurbishment to create a modern, efficient home.
