A beautifully presented 3/4 bedroom detached bungalow boasting breathtaking estuary views, ideally situated just a short stroll from the popular village of Instow, the Tarka Trail and South West Coast Path, with convenient public transport links also close by. The property further benefits from a south-facing garden, a versatile garden studio and a garage. A wonderful home in a superb coastal setting - this really is a must-see!
Enjoying an elevated position with exceptional far-reaching views across the Taw Estuary, this spacious detached bungalow occupies a peaceful cul-de-sac setting on the outskirts of the highly sought-after coastal village of Instow. The property is ideally positioned within walking distance of the village itself, as well as the renowned Tarka Trail, South West Coast Path and convenient public transport links.
The property has been considerably improved and modernised by the current owners, with updated décor and finishes creating a stylish and welcoming home throughout. One of the standout additions is the beautiful bespoke kitchen, individually handcrafted by a reputable local Bideford company and forming the centrepiece of the impressive open-plan living space.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Generously proportioned and flooded with natural light, the space is centred around a large picture window that perfectly frames the outstanding estuary views. There is ample room for both dining and relaxed seating, creating a wonderful setting for everyday family life as well as entertaining friends and family.
The accommodation is currently arranged with three bedrooms and a separate lounge. Offering excellent flexibility, the lounge was previously used as a bedroom and could easily be returned to provide a fourth bedroom if required, making the property equally well suited to families, downsizers or those looking for additional guest accommodation.
Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully improved to create attractive and practical spaces from which to enjoy the surroundings. To the south-facing rear, a raised composite deck provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining, seating and entertaining, with wide, shallow composite steps leading comfortably to the upper tier of the garden.
At the top of the garden is a newly created garden room, providing an extremely useful and versatile space away from the main house. This would make an excellent home office, study or hobby room, or simply a peaceful place to work, unwind and enjoy some separation from the main living accommodation.
To the front, attractive elevated terraced gardens complement the property particularly well, while a private driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a useful double-length garage, offering excellent parking, storage and workshop potential.
Further benefits include owned solar panels, which contribute towards the property's electricity and hot water while also generating an income for the owners.
Overall, this is a wonderfully flexible and much-improved home, combining generous accommodation, contemporary finishes and excellent outside space with what is undoubtedly one of its greatest assets - the superb, far-reaching outlook across the Taw Estuary.
