FOR SALE by PUBLIC AUCTION (Unless Sold Before) 3pm on FRIDAY 11th September 2026 at PORTMORE GOLF CLUB, LANDKEY ROAD, BARNSTAPLE. EX32 9LB
Church Mead is a 1960’s detached bungalow which requires general modernisation and improvement. It stands on a large plot and in a very convenient and easy level walk to the village centre. There is tremendous scope and potential to extend the accommodation, whether outwards or upwards (subject to PP), and once done it will then make for a quite superb home. As it stands on a very good size level plot and there is space and huge scope to demolish and build a bespoke modern home to one’s own ideas and requirements. In the grounds is a former WWII water tank which offers potential but can also be demolished if required. Very few properties in this location now offer this potential.
At present, the bungalow has 2 bedrooms, a sitting room and a good size kitchen with dining area. The wet room has been recently fitted and there are front entrance and rear porches. The accommodation has gas central heating with solar backup. However, it is the large level gardens which surround the property which are the main feature. There is ample parking to the front and side with great potential to provide for more. Only when viewed can the full picture be appreciated.
This is a very rare opportunity indeed.
