This detached five-bedroom barn conversion sits tucked away on the outskirts of Bideford, offering generous family accommodation and about one-third of an acre of private garden. The split-level layout centres on a vaulted living room with feature fireplace and direct access to mature, sheltered grounds — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. A double garage and driveway parking add practical convenience.
Accommodation is adaptable: a ground-floor study could serve as a fifth bedroom or home office, while the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower. The kitchen and dining area overlook the garden and provide a useful base for family life. The property was converted in the early 1980s and retains period barn character throughout.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. Heating is via an oil-fired boiler; the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and partial wall insulation (granite/whinstone walls). Drainage is to a shared septic tank. The EPC is rated E (48), and broadband speeds in the area are very slow — factors to consider for running costs and home working.
Set in a rural cluster near Abbotsham and within easy reach of local schools and the North Devon coast, this home will suit families or downsizers seeking space, character and scope to update. It offers clear potential to modernise systems and finishes to improve efficiency and personalise the interior.
