About this property

Nestled within a generous third of an acre plot in the highly sought-after coastal village of Instow, number 2 Sycamore Close is an impressive exeuctive, five bedroom detached residence that offers an exciting opportunity whether as a spacious family home or a second home right on the coast. Bought from new over 30 years ago this property has never been to the market and also includes a large amount of land at the front, which could easily provide scope to partition off as a separate building plot (subject to planning permission). Featuring five bedrooms, three bathrooms, four reception rooms, double garage and a large kitchen / breakfast room the property is positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac just moments from Instow beach. Upstairs there is a wonderful balcony that faces west and stretches across the majority of the front of the house, perfect to both relax on or to enjoy with a glass or two of wine at sunset.
