Tranquil country home with large garden and garage.
No onward chain for quicker completion
Set on an elevated plot with far-reaching views towards Exmoor, this detached former lodge offers a peaceful family home in a small hamlet. The house sits behind gated parking and a separate garage, with a large, enclosed garden edged by mature trees that provides privacy and safe outdoor space for children or pets.
Inside, the layout is traditional and generous: a large living room and separate dining room both open through French doors to the garden, and four upstairs bedrooms receive good natural light and countryside outlooks. Original features such as exposed beams, terracotta-style floors and built-in storage give character, while the practical utility and rear porch add everyday convenience.
The property is liveable but will reward updating. The living room shows signs of dated fittings and a potential damp risk around one area; light fixtures and some finishes need modernisation. Heating is oil-fired and drainage is private (septic), both factors to consider for running costs and maintenance. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the remoter rural location.
No onward chain makes a quicker purchase possible, and the size and layout create scope for sensitive refurbishment or modest extension to enhance the views. Local amenities in nearby High Bickington include a primary school (Good Ofsted), village shops and pubs; wider services and rail links require a short drive. For buyers seeking tranquility, garden space and character close to Exmoor, this property is a solid canvas with clear improvement potential.
