Summary - The Barn, Bickleton, BARNSTAPLE EX31 3GG
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Secluded rural retreat near Instow beach, ideal for a second home or holiday let.
About 0.6 acre south-facing garden and private countryside views
A recently renovated two-bedroom barn conversion set in about 0.6 acres of very private south-facing grounds, just minutes from Instow beach. The conversion retains character—exposed stone, vaulted ceiling and a mezzanine—while providing modern comforts including a brand-new Wren kitchen, new electrics (2025) and a new combination boiler (2025).
The site is a standout: extensive gravel parking, stables and a large workshop/outbuildings offer strong scope for garaging, storage or potential conversion (subject to planning). The setting is peaceful, with open countryside views and easy access to Fremington, Bideford and Barnstaple, making this equally suited as a main residence, second home or holiday-let investment.
Practical points are straightforward: freehold, chain free, no flood risk and council tax band D. Services include mains electricity, private borehole water (approx. £190 pa), private drainage and oil central heating. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal average, which may affect remote working.
Note the property is compact internally: two double bedrooms and one bathroom, and further expansion would require planning. The outbuildings and generous plot offer clear potential for buyers who want immediate character and future development possibilities, but those needing high-speed internet or additional bedrooms without planning will need to consider these limits.
