Conveniently located just a short stroll from the town centre, this charming two-bedroom detached bungalow enjoys superb front-facing views and an elevated setting.

28 Furse Hill Road is a delightful detached bungalow, believed to date back to the 1920s, offering an abundance of character combined with light-filled accommodation throughout.

Occupying an elevated position, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the town towards the Cairn Nature Reserve, which can be appreciated from both the principal front rooms and the gardens. The location is particularly convenient, being within easy walking distance of Ilfracombe town centre and Bicclescombe Park, which is just around the corner.

The accommodation is arranged around a T-shaped hallway with doors leading to all principal rooms. On entering, the bungalow immediately feels light and bright, aided by its southerly aspect and large front-facing windows. The lounge is a generous-sized reception room and benefits from the attractive open outlook. Opposite, the principal bedroom is an excellent double room, also enjoying similar far-reaching views.

To the rear of the property is a modern kitchen/dining room, providing ample space for a table and chairs, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room with access out to the rear garden. The bathroom features a modern white suite, and the accommodation is completed by a second bedroom.

Outside, there is unrestricted on-street parking available along the road. The front garden is elevated with a gated entrance and pathway leading to the front door. The rear garden offers excellent potential for a purchaser to create a landscaped garden to their own taste, with the upper sections enjoying some of the finest views on offer.
