Set on a quiet road just under a mile from Bude town centre and its beaches, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers single-level living with good parking and a private, enclosed rear garden. The layout includes an entrance hall, living/dining room, sitting room, galley-style kitchen with modern units, two bedrooms and a family bathroom — a practical plan for downsizers or a small family.
The property is freehold and double-glazed, with electric storage heating. Built before 1900 in granite or whinstone, the walls are assumed to have no insulation. While comfortably liveable, the bungalow needs renovation and updating in places, presenting clear scope to modernise or extend (subject to planning consent) to unlock further value.
Practical positives include a private driveway that fits 3–4 cars, a single garage, low-maintenance front garden and a decent plot size with established borders to the rear. There is no flood risk, mobile signal is excellent and crime levels are low, though local broadband speeds are average and the wider area has pockets of deprivation.
This home will suit buyers seeking single-floor living close to coastal amenities who are prepared to carry out improvements. Be realistic about upgrade costs: the heating system, wall insulation and general modernisation are the main works likely required to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
