About
A charming, detached bungalow set in a sought-after Salcombe location, offering three bedrooms, a driveway and garage, and a generous garden with wonderful views.
Ecila is an appealing home in a highly desirable setting, just a short distance from the town centre.
The accommodation is accessed via a useful porch, leading into the entrance hall and through to a central hallway, currently arranged as a dining area, creating a versatile and inviting space.
From here, a spacious sitting room features a bay window overlooking the front garden, allowing for an abundance of natural light.
The property also benefits from a well-appointed, light-filled kitchen with ample storage, which overlooks the rear garden and enjoys stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage and wash hand basins. A family bathroom and separate WC complete the internal accommodation.
Externally, the front garden is attractively planted with mature shrubs and established planting.
A driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a garage, which in turn gives access to a useful utility room.
This opens onto the rear garden, a generous and private space bordered by mature planting and featuring attractive terrace areas, ideal for outdoor dining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the superb views over Salcombe, the surrounding countryside, and the estuary.
In addition, the property benefits from a large storage area located beneath the house, accessible via a door from the rear garden, offering valuable and versatile extra space.
