The detached four-bedroom chalet bungalow in Paignton has a rather wild selling point, with its sun terrace overlooking the giraffe enclosure at nearby Paignton Zoo. And while most homeowners have to make do with a view of the neighbours' gardens, lucky buyers could find themselves watching the long-necked mammals going about their day from the comfort of their own home.

The impressive property is on the market for £595,000 through estate agent Absolute and boasts plenty more than its unusual animal attraction. Inside, the spacious home features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, along with a walk-in wardrobe and generous living accommodation. There is also a heated swimming pool for those looking to take a dip without having to leave home, while ten fitted solar panels offer an additional energy-saving feature.

But the real showstopper is the principal bedroom, which opens directly onto a large sun terrace. From there, residents can enjoy views across Tor Bay and straight over the zoo's giraffe paddock.

Describing the property, Absolute said: "The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, boasting direct access to a large sun terrace that offers views over the sea and the giraffe paddock at the nearby zoological gardens (a truly unique and enchanting outlook)." The estate agent added that the property was presented in good order throughout and offered a combination of generous living space and outstanding views. It is also being sold with no onward chain, potentially making the purchase more straightforward for prospective buyers.

With its unusual wildlife outlook, coastal setting and heated pool, the property certainly offers something a little different from the average family home. And for anyone who has ever fancied waking up to giraffes rather than the sound of the neighbours mowing their lawn, this Devon bungalow could be quite the dream address.
