A contemporary, single-storey barn-style bungalow finished in western red cedar and large glazing, this newly built home offers 1,571 sq ft of light-filled, open-plan living with vaulted ceilings and bi-fold doors opening to paved terraces. The specification is high: engineered oak flooring, marble-effect quartz worktops, integrated AEG appliances, a wood-burner in the sitting area and an integral double garage. Eco features include PV panels, an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating, LED lighting and an electric car charging point, contributing to an EPC A rating and low running costs. A six-year professional warranty accompanies the purchase.
Set at the end of a half-mile no-through country lane in a small hamlet close to Barnstaple and the coast, the plot is very large and enjoys wide rural views, a landscaped low-maintenance garden, extensive gravel parking and space for a motorhome or additional garaging subject to planning. Footpaths and local villages such as Fremington and Instow—with amenities, beach and Tarka Trail access—are within a couple of miles, while Barnstaple is the nearest regional centre.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the property is served by a private water supply and a private Tricel sewage treatment plant, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and council tax banding is TBC. The detached outbuilding adjacent to the plot has consent for conversion and is owned by the vendors; that building and a separate ménage are offered separately. The garage could be adapted to an additional ensuite bedroom subject to permission.
This home will suit buyers seeking single-level, high-spec rural living who prioritise energy efficiency, privacy and coastal access rather than instant high-speed broadband. Chain-free and ready to occupy, it represents a premium new-build opportunity in a peaceful but accessible location.
