A WORLD AWAY...
Tucked away in this little hamlet is a two bedroom detached bungalow in need of refurbishment or extension and an additional barn with potential for conversion (subject to planning consent) set in a convenient rural location in a well proportioned plot. Would work well as a holiday home, letting or permanent residence.
THE LOCATION
Positioned in the sought after hamlet of Westacott just on the outskirts of Barnstaple, the property provides a rural setting with the convenience of local amenities nearby. Barnstaple town centre is just a five minute drive from the property. Orchard Vale Primary and community school and a regular bus service to town are less than a 5 minute walk. It is also around a half hour's drive of Exmoor National Park and the beaches around Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton,
THE OPPORTUNITY
The detached bungalow is in need of some refurbishment and modernisation but until very recently has been let on a long term basis and would make a lovely home. It also has potential, subject to planning consent, to be extended or redeveloped to create a larger home perhaps linking up with the barn nearby. The barn itself also has potential, subject to planning consent, for conversion to a dwelling, either incorporated into one large dwelling or as a stand alone dwelling for residential or holiday use or home office/workshop.
Inside the bungalow has a small shower room and galley style kitchen with gas hob (Bottled gas) and integrated fridge freezer. This leads you into a light and bright living room with gas fire (bottled gas) and lovely french style double doors out to the rear patio.
An inner lobby with airing cupboard leads to the two double bedrooms, one with handwash basin and walk in wardrobe. Both bedrooms have lovely views over the gardens. The heating is currently electric storage heaters and an emersion heater for hot water.
The property has a well proportioned garden mainly laid to lawn with steps up to the front garden with mature trees and shrubs. The rear garden has a raised concrete patio area with steps down to an enclosed lawn and further steps down to a sunken garden and covered patio area which backs onto the barn. The rustic covered patio area would make a superb entertaining space for al fresco dining and family barbecues.
The driveway currently has space for at least two cars or a car and motor home depending on the size of the motorhome, with one parking area covered. The property is accessed via a lane shared with just one neighbour.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The immediate neighbour has had planning granted to demolish a bungalow to create a 4 bedroom detached house and building work has commenced with the bungalow now demolished and groundworks in place.
