A compact two-bedroom bungalow set on the edge of Bideford, offered chain free and well suited to buyers looking to downsize or secure a low-maintenance home with renovation potential. The property sits elevated from the road with a sloping ramp and private parking close by, plus a south-facing rear garden and patio that catch the sun.
The layout is straightforward: living room with patio doors to the garden, kitchen with side access, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bungalow has double glazing (installed post-2002) and benefits from mains services; council tax is very low which helps running costs. Note the build era (late 1960s–1970s) and assumed cavity walls without insulation — upgrading thermal performance would improve comfort and costs.
Important to clarify: the supplied description refers to a gas-fired boiler, but other data lists electric storage heaters as the main heating/fuel. Prospective buyers should confirm the current heating system and service history. The home needs general updating throughout, so it suits buyers willing to invest in refurbishment to unlock better energy efficiency and modern finishes.
Practical points: broadband speeds are slow and local crime is above average for the area — both relevant for work-from-home plans and security. On the plus side the property is close to bus services into town (under a mile), nearby schools rated Good, low flood risk and freehold tenure with no onward chain.
