This charming and spacious home is a true gem, offering a perfect blend of countryside living and modern convenience. Situated in a peaceful village, just a 5-minute drive from Barnstaple town centre, it’s the ideal location for a family looking for both tranquillity and accessibility. The property boasts an abundance of space, featuring two generously sized reception rooms, four bedrooms (two of which are en suite), and a stunning 35' kitchen/family room—all within the cosy, characterful confines of a country-style cottage. Approaching the property, you'll be welcomed through a wrought iron gate and down a long path bordered by lush gardens filled with vibrant shrubs and flowers. The hedgerows offer privacy, creating a serene entrance to the home. Step inside the lobby, where you’ll find access to both the dining room and the sitting room. These bright and spacious rooms feature lovely exposed timber flooring, adding to the charm and character of the home. If a wood burner is on your wish list, you’ll be delighted to find one in the sitting room, perfect for those cosy evenings. And if that’s not enough, another wood burner awaits in the expansive kitchen/family room. The kitchen/family room is the heart of the home, and offers a snug area with an attractive fireplace housing the second wood burner, and French doors that lead out to the rear garden, allowing for a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. The country-style kitchen is a real standout, featuring solid oak work surfaces, a large island with a brick corner plinth and a beautiful slate top. It also comes equipped with integrated appliances, including a fridge and dishwasher, with additional space for further appliances in the adjacent utility room. A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a delight with exposed original timber floorboards that add warmth and character. It also benefits from an en suite shower room with a corner shower, WC, wash basin, and useful shelving. The second bedroom also features an en suite shower room, while bedrooms three and four are both spacious doubles, making this property ideal for larger families. A family bathroom serves the other two bedrooms. The rear garden is an unexpected delight, blending traditional charm with modern updates. On one side, you'll find cobblestone features, while other areas have been beautifully reworked with a new patio area, attractive flagstone paving, and lawned sections bordered by shrubs. At the rear, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a garage with an up-and-over door, light and power connected.
