Summary - Quay Close Old Quay Lane, Marine Parade, Instow, BIDEFORD EX39 4HY
1 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Coastal one-bedroom bungalow with private garden and Homewise Lifetime Lease option for over-60s.
Detached one-bedroom bungalow with estuary views
A one-bedroom detached bungalow tucked into Instow village with direct estuary views and the beach a short walk away. The open-plan living space is bright and sociable, anchored by a central wood-burning fireplace and dual-aspect windows that capture the coastal light. The modern kitchen includes integrated appliances and the bathroom has a walk-in rainfall shower; a private sunny garden with patio and a hot tub provides a secluded outdoor retreat.
This property is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example: market price £299,950, guide Lifetime Lease price £201,000 (typical saving ~33% for over-60s). The Lifetime Lease allows buyers aged 60+ to buy a share (up to 50%) rather than full market value, reducing upfront cost but altering the form of ownership — exact price depends on age and circumstances and must be confirmed with Homewise and your solicitor.
Practical points: the bungalow sits on a small plot and is an average-sized property (approx. 485 sq ft) with standard ceiling heights. Flood risk is low, broadband speeds are fast, and local crime rates are very low. Notable cautions: tenure details are not provided and must be verified; the Lifetime Lease is only available to buyers aged 60+ and affects long-term ownership arrangements. The property has been used successfully as a holiday let previously, which may appeal to investors or buyers seeking occasional rental income, but single-bedroom accommodation may limit longer-term resale appeal.
Overall, this bungalow suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance coastal retirement bolthole with estuary views, or an investor looking for a proven holiday-let location. Verify tenure, Lease terms, and any necessary consents with your solicitor before committing.
