" A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A 2 BEDROOMED 1960s BUNGALOW REQUIRING GENERAL MODERNISATION AND IMPROVEMENT AND LOCATED IN THIS EVER POPULAR CUL-DE-SAC IN THE HEART OF CROYDE VILLAGE. To be sold by PUBLIC AUCTION (unless sold previously) on TUESDAY 12 JULY 2011 at 3pm in THE BARNSTAPLE HOTEL, BRAUNTON ROAD, BARNSTAPLE.

We are very pleased to offer for sale this two bedroomed detached bungalow built in the 1960s and is possibly one of the last properties in this cul-de sac that requires general modernisation and improvement. This is the first time the property has come to the market since new and therefore represents a very rare opportunity for those seeking to modernise a property and put their own idenity and mark upon it. There is indeed tremendous potential not only to modernise but also to increase the accommodation by extending, subject to the necessary permission, into the roof area. Over the years many of the properties in the cul-de-sac have been improved this way and so enhanced the properties, and this being the last in the road to offer this facility, is sure to appeal. The accommodation currently offers two bedrooms, entrance porch, living room, kitchen/breakfast room and a bathroom. There is a mixture of solid fuel central heating and Economy 7 heating and there is an integral garage and off road parking. The gardens are somewhat deceptive to the rear which although appear small but, by removal of the growth and maturing over the years and the firs trees to the rear, some space could be reclaimed. There is an attractive patio and lawn to the front with flowers beds, shrubs and borders. Croyde is an ever popular choice coastal village famed for its Blue Flag sandy bay. Holiday homes in this area are always in tremendous demand and income, without doubt, a very good possibility. Water sports draw enthusiasts and keen surfers nationally and internationally and there are also superb beaches at Putsborough and Saunton close by. The village offers amenities including public houses, church, post office and stores and a regular bus service to Braunton approximately 5 miles to the east. Here a wider range of amenities is available including a new Tesco store, police station, medical centre, library, restaurants and a good number of local shops and stores. The bus service continues to Barnstaple, approximately 5 miles south east of Braunton and here there is access to the North Devon Link Road providing a convenient route to the M5 motorway and also the Tarka Rail connecting to Exeter in the south east. We thoroughly recommend a full internal viewing at the earliest opportunity in order to appreciate not only the property's excellent location in Croyde, being very central but enough to be away from the hub bub, and also to appreciate the tremendous potential the property offers. FROM BARNSTAPLE PROCEED ALONG THE A361 TO BRAUNTON. AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND CROSSROADS IN THE CENTRE OF THE VILLAGE TURN LEFT SIGNPOSTED TO SAUNTON AND CROYDE. CONTINUE ALONG THIS ROAD FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AND ENTER INTO THE VILLAGE OF CROYDE. HERE AGAIN CONTINUE TO THE CENTRE OF THE VILLAGE AND, AT THE THATCHED BARN PUBLIC HOUSE ON THE LEFT, TURN RIGHT INTO CLOUTMAN'S LANE AND THEN, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, FIRST RIGHT INTO ORCHARD GROVE. THE PROPERTY WILL THEN BE FOUND ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE WITH OUR FOR SALE BOARD CLEARLY DISPLAYED.
