"Truly superb detached 3 bed bungalow offering extremely well presented & maintained accommodation complimented beautifully by mature private gardens which enjoy a southerly aspect to the rear. Occupying a wonderful location within this highly sought after residential area.

Originally constructed we believe during the 1950 s to the most part with a Tyrolean cement rendered finish with part natural stone facings all beneath a concrete interlocking tiled roof.

Windows have been replaced recently December 2023 with upvc double glazed units which have a smart grey external finish and a white finish internally, there are PVC fascias and ventilated soffits.

The property will be found to offer extremely light and airy accommodation which is beautifully presented having undergone refurbishment within recent years and has been arranged with versatility in mind. The 3rd bedroom leads off of the entrance hall and is currently used as a dining room. Alternatively it could form part of a private annexe incorporating the garage and utility room if so required.

Situated towards the bottom of Durrant Lane a particularly delightful semi rural and private residential road bordered to the most part on one side by open fields and woodland within half mile or so from Northam village and just over one mile from Bideford town.

A little further down the lane, a short footpath leads to Lower Cleave which stands adjacent to the River Torridge, where the South West Coast Path can be joined affording riverside walks into Bideford town in one direction and to the delightful old fishing village of Appledore and beyond in the other.

The setting is peaceful and quite special and being one of the premier addresses in the vicinity so as to be highly sought after.
