Set over two floors and newly refurbished throughout, Riverside is a spacious five-bedroom detached home perched above the river with sweeping estuary and countryside outlooks. The house has been modernised to include a contemporary kitchen, new bathrooms, bi-folding doors, a wood-burning stove and spa-style fittings such as a Tylo steam system, swim-spa and separate hot tub for year-round relaxation.
The property sits in around 4.13 acres including landscaped gardens, extensive composite decking and an adjoining paddock with a barn, offering immediate outdoor enjoyment and genuine scope for small-scale equestrian or hobby farming use. Direct access onto the Tarka Trail and nearby coastal paths make this attractive for walkers, cyclists and those wanting an active outdoor lifestyle, while Barnstaple’s amenities remain within easy reach.
Practical points are straightforward: the home is freehold, heated by mains gas with radiators, and benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002). Energy performance is rated D and council tax is band F, which should be factored into running costs. Broadband speeds are slow in this location and the property will require routine maintenance of the pool, spa equipment and large grounds.
Riverside will suit a buyer seeking a peaceful, well-appointed rural home with outstanding views and significant outside space — families, downsizers wanting lifestyle amenities, or buyers looking for a high-quality rural retreat. Buyers should verify services, planning and flood or drainage arrangements as part of their due diligence.
