ABOUT THE PROPERTY
St. Jean enjoys a superb elevated position with impressive dramatic views across the river Torridge towards the estuary. Occupying a large half an acre plot, St. Jean is set amongst established properties along the desirable, Old Barnstaple Road.
This detached bungalow has been in the current vendor's ownership for 33 years, offering a rare opportunity whilst providing tremendous potential with scope for renovation, enlargement or even re-development, subject to any necessary consents.
The mature gardens form a particularly attractive feature, gently sloping towards the spectacular views. Initially approached via a private driveway, there is ample parking, a car port, garage and useful outbuildings.
Enjoying lots of natural light, the accommodation comprises; an entrance porch, hallway, kitchen with opening to a dining room. A utility room, rear porch, two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a large L shaped living room containing a wood burning stove and patio doors which take in the views.
For layout and approximate room measurements please see the enclosed floorplan and refer to the Virtual Tour.
