Set in a peaceful village setting with far-reaching views towards Exmoor, this four-bedroom detached home sits on a generous, private plot ideal for family living. The layout delivers flexible space: a bright conservatory-style reception, formal dining room, large living room with a picture window, and a kitchen-diner that opens onto a paved patio and lawned garden. Two single garages and a sweeping gated driveway provide secure parking for several vehicles.
The house combines character features and practical family rooms with scope to personalise. A versatile wing on the first floor currently arranged as office, playroom, shower room and two bedrooms could become a self-contained family area or a reconfigured master suite. The utility room, cloakroom and generous storage make day-to-day living straightforward, while the enclosed rear garden is private and safe for children and pets.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, glazing is double but install date is unknown, and the property dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s with cavity walls and assumed partial insulation. Council tax is above average. These factors give clear potential for energy upgrades and modest modernisation to reduce running costs and add value.
This home will suit families seeking space, privacy and countryside access, with good local schools and Barnstaple a short drive away. Broadband speeds are fast, mobile signal average, and there are regular local buses into town. Overall, a characterful and well-proportioned family home on a substantial plot with realistic potential for improvement.
