3 bed bungalow for sale

Compton Road, West Charleton TQ7

A well-planned, spacious detached bungalow with three good-sized bedrooms, occupying a sunny south-facing position and commanding panoramic views of the South Hams countryside, officially designated as the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These include views towards Salcombe and the sheltered waters of the Kingsbridge Estuary.

Located in the peaceful village of West Charleton—just two miles east of the town of Kingsbridge with its picturesque quayside, promenade, and embankment—the village offers a nursery and primary school, community hall, church, public house, and a scenic bus stop on the A379 Plymouth–Dartmouth route.

Positioned approximately 150 feet above sea level, the bungalow occupies a desirable and elevated corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac. This private location, likely among the largest in the development, is bordered by open countryside on the north and east sides, ensuring a high degree of privacy.

The property is accessed via two tarmac driveways: The east drive leads to a large hardstanding area ideal for a boat or caravan. The west drive provides access to an attached garage. Together, they offer ample off-road parking for multiple family-sized vehicles- ideal for guests or multi-vehicle households.

Gardens to the front and rear are extensive and mature, with lawns, a wide range of trees, shrubs, and flowering plants—an ideal space for enthusiastic gardeners. The front garden features flower beds, stone walls, and a metal-railed veranda beneath the lounge window—perfect for enjoying the elevated estuary views. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn, with a central flowerbed, west-facing border, mature tree screening, and excellent privacy. Decorative stone areas, pathways, steps, and a ramp ensure easy access. A five-bar wooden gate (currently disused) offers restoration potential.

The bungalow offers excellent opportunities for redecoration, refurbishment, and development, and is available with vacant possession.
