Summary - 3 BABELEIGH CLOSE BUCKLAND BREWER BIDEFORD EX39 5XZ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Compact three-bed with garage, garden and strong rental potential near Bideford.
Freehold detached three-bedroom property, vacant possession and chain-free
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Buckland Brewer, this three-bedroom detached property offers straightforward living and clear income potential. The house is freehold, vacant and chain-free, with driveway parking and an integral garage. At 747 sq ft the layout is compact but practical: ground-floor lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and three first-floor bedrooms with a family bathroom.
The property is being sold via a conditional online auction (closing 9th October at 12pm). Buyers should note the sale becomes legally binding when the timer expires (subject to reserve being met). A buyers’ charge of £5,000 applies on completion (including a £3,600 fee retained by the auction platform, with £1,400 deducted towards the purchase price). Check the legal pack for the exact reserve and fees before bidding.
The house requires renovation and modernisation throughout, presenting scope to add value for an investor or owner-occupier prepared to improve the property. Key technical items: electric storage heating, double glazing fitted post-2002, cavity walls (assumed insulated). The small plot and modest internal size limit extension potential, but the tucked-away village setting, low crime and proximity to local amenities make this an attractive low-maintenance rental or starter purchase.
Material negatives: the property is small and needs renovation; heating is electric storage (higher running costs); auction sale carries compulsory buyer charges and legal obligation to complete if successful. Positives include freehold tenure, vacant possession, garage and driveway parking, and easy access to village services and Bideford under 8 miles away.
