Set on a generous plot in a peaceful Yelland neighbourhood, this four-double-bedroom detached home offers substantial living space and easy access to Instow beach and local amenities. The property benefits from driveway parking for three cars, a single garage, a large south-east facing garden and an EPC rating of C—practical assets for families or those seeking a comfortable coastal base.
Internally the layout is versatile: a ground-floor living room and kitchen open to a dining area with stairs to a spacious first-floor bedroom with en-suite. A conservatory presently used as a utility could be repurposed as a garden room or home office. Built-in storage, a greenhouse and an outhouse add everyday convenience while the partly boarded loft gives extra storage potential.
Constructed in the late 1960s–1970s, the house is well maintained but some areas show mid-century fittings and will benefit from updating to modern tastes. The large garden and generous room sizes present clear scope for refurbishment or extension subject to planning, so buyers should expect cosmetic and systems upgrades rather than a completely turnkey ready home.
Practical points: the property is freehold and chain-free, sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband, and has no flood risk. For families, the location is supported by good local primary schools; for downsizers it offers single-floor living for most bedrooms with a useful upstairs bedroom. Overall this is a spacious, adaptable home close to coast and countryside, best suited to buyers prepared to personalise it.
