A well-presented two double-bedroom detached bungalow positioned on a corner plot within the landscaped grounds of Kenwith Castle. Built in 2007 by a reputable local developer, this single-level home offers generous open-plan living with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the lounge with light and frame views across the gardens and lake. The dining area opens onto a private deck, creating a pleasant indoor-outdoor spot for visitors and socialising.
Designed with accessibility in mind, the bungalow features a principal bedroom with en-suite and a fully accessible wet room. Underfloor heating serves much of the ground floor, and practical storage — including a buggy/storage room — adds everyday convenience. The property is chain-free and sits on a newly negotiated 999-year lease, with fast fibre broadband available and off-street parking opposite the plot.
This home sits within an active, age-restricted community (one occupant must be 65+) that organises lakeside events and has shared facilities such as The Pavilion. That community aspect, combined with proximity to Westward Ho! and local amenities, will suit retirees seeking sociable, low-maintenance living close to the coast.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge (currently £259.40 pcm) and a small ground rent of about £200 per year. These ongoing costs fund communal maintenance and amenities but are material to affordability. The bungalow is modest in overall footprint (around 681 sq ft) and the purchaser should note the age restriction when considering household composition.
