A spacious and highly versatile three double bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a particularly attractive plot in one of Sticklepaths most sought-after residential locations. With the added benefits of two en-suite bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, a double garage and a private, south-facing rear garden that backs directly onto mature shrubs and trees. While the bungalow now requires a degree of general maintenance and updating, it presents a superb blank canvas for those looking to create a long-term “forever home”, with the reassurance of no onward chain for a smoother purchase.
Approached via driveway parking for a couple of vehicles, the property immediately feels welcoming, with a generous porch that provides the perfect practical space for coats and shoes before stepping through into a large entrance hallway that connects the accommodation beautifully. From here, to the left-hand side, you’ll find a three-piece shower room with a separate shower cubicle, ideal for day-to-day convenience and for guests. Straight ahead, double French doors open into a particularly impressive main living room, a superb size with a feature fireplace creating a cosy focal point. This space flows naturally into a large conservatory via sliding doors, where you can enjoy an outlook over the rear garden and greenery beyond, with additional French doors providing direct access outside—perfect for sunny days, entertaining, or simply relaxing and taking in the outlook.
Adjoining the living room is a separate dining room, enjoying a pleasant rear aspect and offering excellent flexibility, whether used as a formal dining space, a snug, or even a home office. The kitchen/breakfast room sits nearby and is a good-sized, workable room with plenty of scope, and for those looking to reconfigure, there is clear potential to knock through into the dining room to create an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining space.
To the right-hand side of the bungalow, the accommodation continues into the bedroom wing, where all three bedrooms are genuine doubles—an increasingly rare feature and a real selling point for families, downsizers wanting space, or those needing room for hobbies and visiting guests. Bedroom one is a standout principal room with a bay window to the front elevation, extensive fitted wardrobes, and a fantastic three-piece en-suite featuring a large triple shower cubicle, vanity-style cabinet sink and WC. Bedroom two is another excellent double, enjoying sliding doors directly out to the rear garden, and is further complemented by an equally generous en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower over, plus “his and hers” sinks. Bedroom three is also a comfortable double, with a front-facing window and plenty of flexibility for use as a guest room, study, or additional reception space if required.
Completing the internal accommodation, there is direct access from the hallway into the double garage, fitted with two up-and-over doors, with light and power connected, and also housing the gas-fired boiler—ideal not only for parking but also for storage, a workshop area, or future conversion potential subject to any necessary consents.
Outside, the rear garden is a good size. Facing south and enjoying an excellent degree of privacy, it backs onto mature shrubs and trees behind, creating a peaceful, leafy backdrop that feels wonderfully secluded. The garden does now require tidying and attention, but the proportions and setting are superb. A good-sized patio provides an ideal seating area, stepping onto a level lawn bordered by mature shrubs and hedging which offer colour and screening throughout the seasons. There are also timber-framed sheds and a greenhouse, all providing useful storage and growing space, albeit in need of some TLC to bring them back to their best.
Continue up Sticklepath Hill and at the roundabout turn left into Old Torrington Road. Continue down the hill and at the bottom turn left into Philip Avenue. Proceed for a short way and the property will be seen on the right hand side with a for sale board displayed.
