Single-storey coastal home with garden and renovation potential for downsizers.
Three-bedroom detached bungalow on a corner plot with driveway parking
Set on a corner plot at the brow of a hill in sought-after Babbacombe, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey living with practical parking and private outside space. The interior feels bright and airy thanks to large windows; a generous principal room and an extended kitchen/breakfast area give flexible day-to-day living. Stepped access leads from the kitchen to a courtyard garden, while a useful cellar provides extra storage.
The location is a genuine asset: moments from Babbacombe Downs, the cliff railway to Oddicombe and Babbacombe beaches, scenic coastal walking routes and local amenities including shops, cafés and theatre. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, crime is very low, and the property is freehold with an affordable council tax band — practical factors that suit downsizers or anyone seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Built in the mid-20th century, the bungalow retains character but shows signs of dated wear in places and will reward some updating to maximise its potential. There is no confirmed wall insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) and the double glazing install date is unknown; buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements into budgets. The single bathroom and cellar/stair access should also be considered for those needing step-free or modernised arrangements.
Overall this is a comfortable, well-located bungalow with clear scope for cosmetic refresh or light renovation to add value and tailor the home to modern standards. It suits buyers who prioritise location, single-storey convenience and outdoor access near Torbay’s coast, and who are prepared to invest modestly to improve insulation, heating controls or interior finishes.
