" An individual detached bungalow with 1/2 acre garden & superb panoramic views to the Taw Estuary in a convenient & favoured semi rural location.

SITUATION AND AMENITIES Edgecombe is set on high ground, and from its elevated site, enjoys delightful 180 degree panoramic views over open countryside and a wide stretch of the Taw Estuary. Ashford is located between Barnstaple and the large village of Braunton, with its excellent range of facilities. A little further afield are the resorts of Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe. For golfers, the local club at Saunton has two magnificent championship links courses. Barnstaple, the principal town of North Devon houses the area's main commercial, leisure and shopping venues, and is about 3 miles.

Also close to Junction 27 is Tiverton Parkway Mainline Railway Station, providing access to London Paddington is just over 2 hours. Exeter, the cathedral city with its International Airport is about 40 miles. Nearby, there is access to the Tarka Trail, providing many miles of footpaths for cycling, dog walking and rambling. DESCRIPTION Originally understood to have been constructed during the 1950s, the property presents brick and colourwash rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof and benefits from double glazed windows and doors throughout, as well as gas fired central heating. Internally, the property would benefit from general updating, and there may be potential, not only to convert the loft into additional accommodation, but also to extend the property, subject to the usual consents. Most principal rooms enjoy the delightful panoramic views. For those interested in gardening, there is an excellent gently sloping mature half acre plot, which could be further developed as garden or provide scope for 'the good life', or could even accommodate animals.
