Located in a quiet remoter hamlet; limited local services
Set on the edge of a small farming hamlet, this detached two-bedroom chalet bungalow offers generous single-level living with 1,521 sq ft of space. The accommodation includes a ground-floor bedroom and shower room plus a first-floor master with ensuite, making it practical for downsizers or couples wanting flexible living without compromise. A log-burning stove and oil-fired central heating provide warmth and character.
Outdoor space is straightforward and private: an enclosed front garden and a decent plot mean low-maintenance grounds with scope for further landscaping. A substantial double garage with an inspection pit is a standout feature for buyers who workshop, store equipment, or run a small home business. The property is freehold and sits in a very low-crime, peaceful rural setting with easy access to countryside trails and the coast within a short drive.
Buyers should note the practical drawbacks: broadband speeds in the area are very slow (around 3 Mbps), which may require satellite or wireless alternatives for reliable internet. Heating is oil-fired (not a community supply), so running costs and future fuel arrangements should be considered. The driveway is shared with the neighbouring property. Services are limited locally because this is a remoter agricultural community, so regular shopping and amenities will require driving.
Overall, this is a spacious, well-maintained bungalow that will particularly suit downsizers, hobby motorists, or anyone after quiet country living with useful garage/workspace. The combination of size, garage facilities and low-crime location gives genuine practical value, provided you accept the rural connectivity and heating implications.
