Tucked away in the peaceful and picturesque hamlet of Bucks Cross, Old Ships is a beautifully modernised 3 Bedroom detached bungalow offering an enviable blend of stylish living, scenic surroundings and excellent convenience. The hamlet itself benefits from a well-stocked corner shop and post office, forming the heart of this close-knit coastal community.
Thoughtfully extended and finished to a high standard throughout, the property enjoys far-reaching sea views across rolling Devon countryside towards the North Devon coastline, while being situated just moments from the Atlantic Highway (A39). This provides straightforward access to nearby towns and villages without the need to navigate narrow country lanes - an ideal balance of rural living with everyday practicality.
The sense of space and light is immediately apparent upon entering the generous Entrance Hall. Leading off is the impressive Living Room, a welcoming dual aspect space centred around a log burner, with brand new patio doors opening directly onto the front lawn. From here, uninterrupted views stretch across the countryside and out to the sea, with Saunton Sands visible on the horizon - creating a superb backdrop for both relaxed mornings and evenings alike.
To the rear, a standout open-plan Kitchen / Diner has been dramatically enhanced by a substantial extension. The high-end bespoke kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances including a double oven and hob, dishwasher and American-style fridge / freezer, complemented by a large central island that anchors the space. A purpose-built Utility Room ensures the kitchen remains uncluttered and highly functional.
There are 3 well-proportioned double Bedrooms, all tastefully presented. The principal bedroom enjoys patio doors overlooking the garden along with a contemporary triple wardrobe. The bedrooms are served by 2 generous Shower Rooms, both featuring walk-in rainfall showers and quality sanitaryware.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The front garden features a level lawn and patio area positioned to make the most of the sea views and sunshine, while the enclosed rear garden offers a sheltered and private retreat. Ample private parking is available to the side and front, and the property also benefits from a recently installed oil fired central heating system.
Surrounded by quintessential Devon countryside, Bucks Cross lies within a 20-minute walk of the beach and South West Coast Path. The popular Merry Harriers Garden Centre and restaurant is nearby, and the property’s immediate proximity to the A39 ensures excellent accessibility without compromising its peaceful rural setting.
Old Ships is an exceptional choice for those seeking coastal views, convenience and countryside living in one beautifully presented home.
