Set along a private road forming part of Chichester Way, enjoying an elevated and highly desirable position with far-reaching views over Bideford Bay, Westward Ho!’s expansive sandy beach and the dunes of Northam Burrows.

Situated at the end of a small and exclusive development, this substantial detached residence was constructed in 1998. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide generous and versatile living space, with excellent scope for further enlargement, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property is further enhanced by garaging and parking, attractive landscaped gardens and approximately 2 acres of adjoining woodland, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and a particularly appealing coastal setting.
Accommodation – A set of steps rises to a sheltered entrance porch, with the front door opening into a welcoming entrance hall, complete with useful storage. A further hallway, also with built-in storage, provides access to the principal accommodation.

The impressive 21'5" living room is a particular feature of the home, enjoying a wonderful triple-aspect outlook and taking full advantage of the superb coastal views through wide panoramic windows. A large sliding door opens directly onto the rear terrace and gardens, creating an excellent connection between the living space and the outside areas.

The well appointed accommodation comprises, a kitchen/dining room which is well appointed with a range of bespoke solid beech hardwood units complemented by light work surfaces. Integrated Miele appliances include an inset electric hob with extractor over and a high-level electric oven/grill. There is ample room for a dining table, with a door leading out to the dining terrace and rear gardens, ideal for outdoor entertaining.

The generous master bedroom features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with 3 piece suite, while bedrooms 2 and 3 are both comfortable double rooms, with bedroom 2 also benefiting from built-in storage. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom, fitted with a white three-piece suite.

Outside – The property is approached via a private driveway, providing ample parking in front of the twin integral garage. A generous brick-paved area to the side offers additional parking and turning space, ideal for those with several vehicles or visiting guests.

To one side of the property, a large terraced planted bed adds colour and interest, with a sun terrace positioned above. The rear garden enjoys a favourable westerly aspect and has been thoughtfully landscaped, being mainly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance and enclosed by fencing and evergreen hedging.

On the southern side of the bungalow is a spacious outdoor dining terrace, bordered by attractive planted beds and providing a lovely setting for outdoor entertaining. At the lower end of the garden, a level area offers excellent potential as a kitchen garden, complemented by a substantial glazed potting shed with power and light, together with a further large timber shed.

Adjoining the garden is approximately 2 acres of woodland, creating a wonderful natural backdrop and a haven for wildlife, with deer known to be regular visitors.
