Details
4 Kenwith Castle Gardens is a well-presented, modern, detached, southerly-facing retirement bungalow within the delightful grounds of Kenwith Castle Nursing Home. The bungalow has been designed to emphasise ease of maintenance and energy efficiency, offering low running costs and benefiting from UPVC double glazing, part of which was recently installed in 2024.
Occupancy, like all the units on this development, is restricted so that at least one occupier is over 65 years of age.
The accommodation briefly comprises an open-fronted entrance porch leading into a spacious entrance hall, which provides access to three of the principal rooms. At the front of the bungalow is a bright and generous sized living room, featuring a fireplace and southerly-facing rural views across rooftops. This room opens to a good-sized dining area with double doors to outside and connects to the fitted kitchen via sliding doors. The kitchen is well appointed and offers ample storage, an integral oven and hob, and space for additional appliances.
Also off the entrance hall is the master bedroom, which benefits from ample circulation space, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is located at the front of the bungalow and includes a storage cupboard. There is a well-appointed wet room with a useful utility cupboard housing laundry facilities and the gas boiler. The entrance hall also provides access to the buggy store, which has its own external entrance.
Kenwith Castle Gardens is situated on the outskirts of the highly sought-after village of Abbotsham, home to the renowned ‘The Thatched Inn’. A short drive away is the popular coastal village of Westward Ho!, offering a range of local amenities, a long golden sandy Blue Flag beach with an adjoining pebble ridge, and the Royal North Devon Golf Club. The working port and market town of Bideford, located on the banks of the River Torridge, is also nearby and provides an excellent range of amenities. Approximately 20–25 minutes’ drive away is Barnstaple, North Devon’s regional centre, which hosts the area’s primary shopping, business, and commercial facilities.
