A rare chance to be able to buy a substantial, detached chalet bungalow with lovely gardens in one of the most sought after villages in East Devon.

Situation & description

Byfield is a very pleasant brick built, detached chalet bungalow about three quarters of a century old and subsequently extended to provide a second storey. Set well back from the road it has a large, south facing front garden and well proportioned and fairly secluded back garden. There is ample parking and a garage which doubles as a utility room and workshed.

The accommodation comprises three bedrooms with two of these on the ground floor at the far end of the property with views over the front and back gardens. There is a bathroom and WC and separate cloakroom. The large and attractive living room features a bow window with views over the front garden. The well appointed kitchen has a good range of fitted units including hob and oven and refrigerator/freezer and there is a separate breakfast area at one end. Also downstairs is a separate dining room/study.

Upstairs is a large bedroom. This room has considerable potential with a storage room leading directly from it which could become an en suite, subject to building regulations. There is attic storage room at the other end of the bedroom which may be large enough for conversion into a study or interconnected bedroom, subject to building regulations.

Outside, the front garden is level and mainly laid to lawn with some very attractive shrubs and plants. There is wide side access via the driveway to the back garden which is well enclosed and a second pedestrian access on the side of the bungalow. The back garden is level with a good area of lawn, a variety of flowers and shrubs and there is a wood shed. The single garage has power and light and a window and side door to the back garden.

Lympstone is a very attractive and highly sought after village on the Exe estuary. It has a number of pubs, a village hall, shop, post office, primary school, preparatory school and pre school, sailing club and a railway station with trains to Exeter and Exmouth. There are delightful walks and rides in the vicinity and the town of Exmouth and the beaches are only around two and a half miles away.
