Accommodation
The front door opens into an entrance hallway, which provides access to the majority of the principal accommodation. Positioned to the right-hand side is the kitchen, a neat and practical space comprising a range of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers amongst ample work surface areas. An inset one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer sits beneath a window overlooking the front aspect, while there is space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and washing machine. Cooking facilities include an electric double oven with four-ring gas hob and fitted extractor canopy over. The hallway continues through to a particularly pleasant sitting room, which has been opened into an extended conservatory to create a wonderfully sociable and versatile reception space. The sitting room itself provides ample room for comfortable living room furniture and is centred around a gas fireplace, creating an attractive focal point. Flowing seamlessly into the conservatory, there is further space for additional furniture, storage and a generous dining table and chairs, while double doors open directly onto the rear garden and allow plenty of natural light to fill the room.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles. The first is positioned towards the front of the bungalow and benefits from a window overlooking the front aspect. The principal bedroom has been extended to create a particularly generous room, complemented by a useful dressing area which provides excellent additional storage and enjoys a pleasant double aspect. Serving both bedrooms is the shower room, fitted with a white suite comprising a WC, wash basin and enclosed shower cubicle, together with a heated towel rail. Altogether, the extended accommodation provides a comfortable and practical arrangement for single-storey living, with the additional reception and bedroom space making the bungalow considerably more generous than its initial appearance might suggest.

Outside & parking
The property occupies a pleasant position within Quarry Close, a peaceful cul-de-sac with no passing traffic. Its elevated setting also provides attractive views across Bideford and the surrounding area. To the front is a tarmac driveway providing off-road parking immediately in front of the detached single garage. A hardstanding pathway divides two areas laid to shingle, which have been attractively decorated with a variety of established shrubs and plants to provide colour and interest. Pathways continue along both sides of the bungalow, with pedestrian gates providing convenient access into the rear garden. The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the home and has clearly been thoughtfully planted and maintained over many years. Immediately adjoining the bungalow is a raised decked seating area, creating a lovely space to relax directly outside the home, while a further patio provides another excellent setting for outdoor furniture and al fresco dining.

Tucked behind a small gate is an additional enclosed decked area, providing a more shaded and secluded place to sit and dine alongside a separate practical space for hanging washing. From the main patio, a small number of steps descend into the remainder of the beautifully established garden. Arranged across a couple of tiers, pathways meander amongst an impressive variety of mature shrubs, plants and established borders, providing an abundance of colour and interest throughout the seasons. For anybody with a passion for gardening, this is a wonderfully rewarding outside space to enjoy and maintain. A substantial storage shed is positioned towards the far corner of the garden, while a greenhouse sits upon its own raised patio area. Completing the outside space is the detached single garage, accessed from the driveway via a traditional up-and-over door, with an additional pedestrian door providing direct access from the rear garden. The garage is practically equipped with both power and light, making it ideal for secure parking, storage or workshop use.

Location
Situated within the desirable residential estate of Londonderry Farm, Quarry Close is located on a quiet cul-de-sac. It is positioned very conveniently with an array of countryside walks very close by along with children's play areas. Given this has been a long term home for the current owners, and would also benefit a young family, the local schools will no doubt be of interest. Nearby are well regarded primary schools St Mary's Church of England Primary and West Croft School, in addition to Abbotsham Primary School slightly further up the road. Bideford College Secondary School is also just a short walk and also offers routes for further education. Numerous other amenities are close by including, Atlantic Village shopping centre, with Asda supermarket and various eateries also not far away. Bideford's town centre is around a mile away, where you will find a further collection of pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, The Quay and Victoria Park. Appledore, Northam and Westward Ho! are all located to the north of the town, perfect areas for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, with more leisure and sport facilities to hand as well as Westward Ho! beach and the beautiful Northam Burrows. Stunning countryside and naturally dramatic, rugged coastal walks can be found in nearby areas like Abbotsham Cliffs or towards Westward Ho! while popular pubs for a drink and a bite to eat can be found in Abbotsham at The Thatched Inn. The property is equally well positioned for transport links to the Cornish border towards Bude/Hartland and beyond to the south west, along the Atlantic Highway (A39). In the opposite direction, you can find Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon. The A361 network leads to Junction 27 of the M5 which is approximately an hour from the property. All areas noted above are also easily accessed via regular bus services, in addition to Bideford Quay, Bude, Torrington, and Barnstaple where you will find the nearest stop just within a few minutes walk of the home.
