Overview
Set in a peaceful, elevated position on the edge of the ever-popular coastal village of Gorran Haven, Springfield is a beautifully presented and generously proportioned detached residence offering a rare combination of space, privacy, and proximity to the sea.

This light-filled and extensively renovated property is ideal as a permanent family home, a coastal retreat, or a well-located holiday let, with three double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, and a layout that offers excellent flexibility.

Accessed via a private tarmac driveway, the property sits within a generous plot and enjoys a sunny aspect throughout the day. Internally, the accommodation is arranged across one level and flows well, with character features subtly balanced by modern finishes. A part-glazed front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with carpeted flooring continuing throughout much of the home. From here, doors lead into a series of generously sized living spaces and bedrooms.

The principal lounge is a bright and comfortable space featuring a period fireplace with wooden mantel, picture rail detailing, and an open archway into the adjoining sunroom. This additional reception space offers wonderful natural light from dual-aspect windows and opens onto a balcony with countryside views and glimpses of the nearby coastline—ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

The separate dining room, located towards the front of the property, features original panel doors and a picture rail, creating a charming formal space for entertaining. It connects seamlessly to the modern kitchen and onward to the utility room. The kitchen is well appointed with modern grey gloss units, a wood-effect work surface, and a stainless steel sink and drainer beneath triple windows, bringing in ample natural light. A continuation of this space into the utility room provides additional worktops, storage, and space for appliances, as well as access to the side garden.

A separate shower room, designed with accessibility in mind, features a walk-in shower with seat and handrail, along with a vanity unit, WC, and heated towel rail—offering both convenience and comfort for visiting guests or multi-generational living.

The property benefits from three double bedrooms, each tastefully decorated and featuring its own en-suite shower room. The first bedroom is positioned at the rear and enjoys lovely views across the garden and countryside beyond. High ceilings enhance the sense of space, and an en-suite with a large shower cubicle, WC, and hand basin completes the room. The second bedroom includes built-in wardrobe storage and an adjoining dressing area, which could easily serve as a home office or nursery if desired. Its en-suite mirrors the contemporary styling of the others, with a shower, basin, WC, and towel rail. The third bedroom is another good-sized double with an outlook to the side and its own en-suite shower room, finished in a similar modern style. Each of the en-suites is fully equipped with chrome heated towel rails, shaver sockets, and obscure-glazed windows with roller blinds, creating comfortable and private bedroom suites throughout.

Outside
The outside space at Springfield is as appealing as the interior, with a large plot offering a blend of lawned garden, paved parking areas, and low-maintenance borders. The grounds present an excellent opportunity for keen gardeners or those looking to create additional outdoor entertaining areas.

The driveway provides ample space for multiple vehicles and includes a recently installed electric car charging point. Beneath the sunroom balcony is a useful undercroft storage area, while the low boundary walls allow for uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. The grounds wrap around the property, giving a good degree of privacy and plenty of scope for landscaping.

Summary
Springfield is a deceptively spacious and thoughtfully updated detached residence in a prime coastal location.
