House For Sale £600,000
Offered with no onward chain and vacant possession this fantastic three- bedroom split level bungalow sits at the very top of this sought-after Old Rectory Close. Commanding panoramic views towards Appledore, Crow Point and out towards Saunton Sands Hotel, you can enjoy these views whilst sat at the dining table or even doing the washing up in your kitchen!
Much loved by the sole family owners the property now requires a degree of modernisation to the kitchen and bathroom areas but has been tastefully redecorated in more modern wallpaper and neutral tones meaning that you could move into number 10 Old Rectory Close and upgrade in situ. Furthermore, due to the size of the plot, approaching 1/3rd of an acre there is also enormous potential to extend out past the garage to create a large terrace or veranda off the living room (subject to planning).
Largely obscured from the road the property is accessed via a five-bar gate which leads up a sweeping driveway up towards the ground floor garage. The plot extends around the bungalow with mature hedgerows and borders lining both sides. There are a number of dilapidated outbuildings including two timber sheds and steps and rails up to the front door. It is at this level where you start to see the impressive views on offer.
The entrance door leads into a porch area with a further door giving access into the main body of the home, and the main entrance hall. Bright and airy, the hall leads to all principal rooms and includes a large airing / coat cupboard and cloakroom.
The main living areas are largely open plan and interconnect into the kitchen. Measuring 21ft this area is particularly spacious and light thanks mainly to being triple aspect with patio doors and broad windows providing fine views towards Instow beach and the Estuary.
The living / dining area gives access to the functional kitchen which then leads back into the hall. The utility area sits at the back of the property with access into the back garden whilst at the opposite end of the hall are the sleeping quarters. The three bedrooms are all doubles with the main bedroom positioned at the front of the property having the added benefit of built in wardrobes, with the second and third bedrooms being located at the rear. A family bathroom with shower over the bath serves all three bedrooms.
Venturing back outside and the plot rises to the rear which is part lawn and part woodland and also features a rose garden and sunny patio. Natural borders persist around the perimeter with access available via both sides of the property.

Head halfway up the hill and turn left into Old Rectory Close where you will find the entrance gate at the top on the right-hand side.
