Description
This is a very good opportunity to acquire a modern, detached 2 bedroom bungalow which requires modernisation and updating. It will allow the new owner to place their own mark and ideas on the property, however, when done, it will make for an excellent and easy to run retirement home. Alternatively, subject to planning, it could be extended to form a good size home to accommodate a growing family.
An internal viewing is essential to appreciate the potential on offer. The bungalow has uPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating. To either side of the property is a porch, one of which is unusual as it doubles up as a W.C and which has a door to the outside! The main porch opens to the kitchen and from here there is access to the hall and the triple aspect living room is well proportioned. There are 2 double bedrooms with built in wardrobes and a good size shower room.
The bungalow stands on a level plot with very good off road parking and which is laid to attractive red brick. This extends to the side of the property and to a detached garage. The rear garden is west facing and, although needs maintenance, is easy to look after.
Bungalows in this location are always in good demand as is it level to the village centre and, being a cul de sac, has little passing traffic. Therefore, we recommend a viewing at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment as this bungalow is very likely to attract a keen level of interest.

Limetree Grove stands off the Saunton Road and is on an easy, almost level walk to the village centre. Being situated to the western side of Braunton means there is convenient access to the sandy beaches at Saunton and Croyde, about 2.5 & 5 miles respectively. They offer a superb day out and are renowned for their quality of surf by keen surfers and water sport enthusiasts. Saunton also offers an excellent golf club with two championship courses. A regular bus service connects to these beaches.
Close by is Braunton Burrows, the largest sand dune system in England. It is a UNESCO biosphere reserve and a great dog walking area. Braunton is a large village which caters well for its inhabitants with primary and secondary schools, restaurants, public houses and a health centre. There is the family run Cawthorne's Stores in the village centre, whilst a Tesco's superstore is to the edge of the village. The bus service also connects to Barnstaple, the regional centre of north Devon and which is approximately 5 miles to the south east. Here there are good covered shopping facilities in the town centre at Green Lanes and out of town shopping at Roundswell. There are excellent leisure and social facilities with a brand new leisure centre, Taka Tennis, Scott's cinema, Tenpin Bowling and The Queens' Theatre.
The North Devon Link Road provides a convenient route to the M5 Motorway at junction 27. The Tarka train Line takes you to Exeter and from here there is a direct rail route to London Paddington.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
