This extended detached bungalow sits in a quiet Preston cul-de-sac and suits buyers seeking single-storey living with extra space. The ground floor offers a good-size lounge, fitted kitchen, and a separate dining room with a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening to the rear garden. Two double bedrooms are on the ground floor with a shower room/WC; a third double bedroom occupies the first floor, reached by an internal staircase.
Practical features include a driveway for up to three vehicles, a single garage, double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler with radiators, and solar panels. The enclosed rear garden has a raised area with some sea views towards Torquay and Thatcher Rock, a genuine local selling point in this area. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent; local shops, medical services and regular buses are close by.
Considerations: the property was constructed in the mid-20th century and will show period features — some updating may be wanted depending on buyer preferences. There is only one shower room, and the third bedroom requires using stairs, so it may be less suitable for buyers needing fully single-level accommodation. Council Tax Band C and freehold tenure are practical advantages.
Overall, this bungalow offers comfortable, adaptable accommodation on a decent plot in an affluent, very low-crime neighbourhood. It will appeal to downsizers wanting space and sea glimpses, or families seeking a detached home in a well-connected suburb with good primary schools nearby.
