DESCRIPTION: This unusually spacious detached bungalow is one of a small group of individual properties in a coveted location at the far end of Boucher Road. Occupying a secluded site, it has views of Otter Head and the sea which is within 300 yards walk. The accommodation is generously proportioned and a huge loft offers potential for enlargement, subject to planning consents.

Little Egrets is approached over a long driveway leading to a spacious forecourt and an imposing entrance porch. The reception hall opens into a sunny garden room which has a patio door to a completely private courtyard patio. The large sitting room also has access to the garden and attractive views to Otter Head and the sea. There is a separate double aspect dining room also with a sea view and this could be opened up into the adjoining kitchen which has a good range of units in pale oak, a split-level cooker and breakfast table. There is also a utility room with second sink and space for appliances. A spacious central hall leads to three double bedrooms on the ground floor, the largest with a patio door to the terrace and a spacious bathroom en-suite. All three bedrooms have built-in cupboards and there is a second bathroom with WC and a separate cloakroom. A well constructed staircase leads to a further room on the first floor which has been used as a studio with lovely views. A door from this room opens into the loft which measures over 36' in length and appears to offer excellent scope for further accommodation. A gas fired boiler supplies central heating and windows throughout the bungalow have been replaced with UPVC double glazed units.

The forecourt provides space to park a caravan or boat and leads to two substantial detached garages, both with electricity connected. The gardens provide a delighted secluded setting for the bungalow and incorporate a large courtyard garden which is fully enclosed and completely secluded, providing a delightful sunny sitting/dining space.

SITUATION: Boucher Road is a quiet cul-de-sac and one of the town's most favoured addresses. A pathway from the end of the road leads via Granary Lane to the beach, Budleigh Salterton Cricket club and walking along the River Otter. The seafront and Marine Parade offer a delightful level walk to the town centre, about 1/2 mile away.

DIRECTIONS: From the traffic lights at the top of Budleigh Salterton High Street proceed through the town towards the sea turning left opposite the Creamery into Fore Street Hill. At the top of the road turn left into East Budleigh Road and take the first turning on the right into Boucher Road. Little Egrets is situated at the far end.

A raised paved terrace leads off the sitting room and principal bedroom with an aluminium framed greenhouse on one side. The rear of the bungalow has three sun blinds and an exterior light. A further brick archway provides access to the rear garden. This is laid to lawn on a gentle slope and is once again well secluded by conifer hedgerow, shrubs, conifer trees and close boarded fencing. A screened area in one corner houses a fruit cage and would be suitable as a compost area. There is also a summerhouse which is in need of some repair. A gate from the rear garden opens into a completely private courtyard garden adjoining the rear of the bungalow. This is paved with a walled bed and additional inset planting. It is completely enclosed by brick walls with piers, inset trellis panels and climbing plants. A gate to one side provides additional garden access and there is also a gate to the driveway, a floodlight, water tap and a small porch with exterior light leading to the garden room.
