Riverside is a spacious, recently refurbished five-bedroom detached home set on about 4.13 acres, including an adjoining paddock and barn. Perched above the river, the house offers panoramic estuary and countryside views from many rooms and from extensive decked terraces — a strong draw for families who value outdoor living and visual privacy. The property has direct access to the Tarka Trail and local footpaths for easy country and coastal walks.
The interior has been comprehensively updated to a high standard and includes a modern kitchen, new shower room, a two-person spa bath, and a Tylo steam system for home spa use. Living spaces flow to large composite decking and landscaped gardens, with outdoor leisure features including a swim-spa and separate hot tub. Accommodation is flexible with five double bedrooms and practical utility and cloakroom spaces suited to family life.
Important practical points are clear: the property is on mains gas with boiler and radiators, double glazing was installed before 2002, and the home’s construction dates to the 1930s–1940s. EPC rating is D and council tax banding is very expensive (Band F), which may affect ongoing running costs. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and mobile signal average — factors to check for home working or high-bandwidth needs.
The land and outbuildings add significant scope: the paddock and barn (around 3+ acres) provide equestrian, hobby-farm, or development potential subject to consents. Buyers should verify services, planning history, private drainage compliance and other practical details during due diligence. Overall, Riverside suits a family seeking a peaceful riverside retreat with generous outdoor space and strong leisure features, provided they accept the running-cost and connectivity considerations.
