About
Situated within one of Barnstaple's most sought-after residential locations in Rumsam, Newport, this spacious and highly versatile three-bedroom link-detached chalet-style bungalow occupies a generous plot with attractive frontage, ample parking, a garage, and a private, sunny rear garden.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property presents an excellent opportunity for a wide range of purchasers.
Approached via a gated driveway providing parking for several vehicles, the property enjoys an impressive frontage complemented by a large level lawn, which offers potential for additional parking if desired.
The driveway leads directly to the attached single garage, complete with up-and-over door, power and lighting.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch leading into a spacious central hallway.
To the rear of the property is a generously proportioned kitchen/dining room, offering ample space for family dining and everyday living.
This in turn flows into a superb conservatory, creating a wonderful additional reception area from which to enjoy views over the garden and its private setting.
To the front elevation, the particularly spacious dual-aspect living room is flooded with natural light and provides an excellent principal reception space.
Also located on the ground floor is a three-piece bathroom, a useful cloakroom/WC, and Bedroom three, which offers flexibility and could equally serve as a dining room, study or additional reception room.
The first floor provides two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and eaves storage.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy together with excellent levels of sunshine throughout the day.
The garden comprises a patio seating area leading onto a level lawn, creating an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, gardening or relaxation.
Side pedestrian access leads to the front of the property, whilst a rear personal door provides convenient access into the garage.
Combining generous accommodation, versatile living space and a desirable location close to local amenities, schools and transport links, this appealing home offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a property with both flexibility and potential.
