Churchside, Shebbear, Devon, EX21 5RU

Churchside is a wonderful detached family home, perfectly positioned on the edge of the ever-popular village of Shebbear.

Enjoying a peaceful setting whilst remaining within easy walking distance of the village's everyday amenities, the property is aptly named, sitting directly opposite the picturesque village church and offering an enviable balance of countryside tranquillity and community living.

Approaching the property, a generous driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, creating an impressive first impression and offering practicality for growing families and visiting guests alike.

Stepping inside, a spacious entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the accommodation, creating a welcoming and airy feel.

From here, stairs rise to the galleried landing, whilst doors lead to the principal reception rooms and the heart of the home-the superb kitchen/dining room.

The living room is a fantastic space for the whole family to relax and unwind.

Flooded with natural light from French doors, complemented by glazed panels on either side, the room enjoys a wonderful connection to the garden.

A beautiful stone fireplace, complete with a log-burning stove, creates a cosy focal point, making this the perfect place to gather during the cooler months.

A second reception room is currently arranged as a home office, but its versatility means it could effortlessly become a formal dining room, children's playroom, hobby room or even a fifth bedroom if required, adapting to the changing needs of its new owners.

Stretching to just over 24 feet in length, the impressive kitchen/dining room truly forms the social hub of the home.

Offering an extensive range of cabinets, generous worktop space and a breakfast bar, it has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday family life and entertaining.

Three windows positioned across separate walls ensure the room is bathed in natural light throughout the day.

The kitchen occupies the front of the room, while the dining area overlooks the garden, creating a welcoming setting for family meals, celebrations and catching up over coffee.

Leading from the kitchen, the practical utility room provides further storage, space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a traditional Belfast sink.

It also offers direct access to the rear garden and the convenient ground floor cloakroom. Upstairs, the spacious galleried landing continues the home's feeling of openness.

All four bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each offering space for additional furniture beyond the essentials.

The principal bedroom enjoys a dual-aspect outlook with lovely views across the surrounding countryside, built-in storage and the added luxury of an en-suite shower room.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed four-piece family bathroom, complete with a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and vanity wash basin.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a safe and private space for the whole family to enjoy.

Predominantly laid to lawn, it offers plenty of room for children to play, whether that's kicking a football, climbing on play equipment or simply enjoying the outdoors.

The patio area is perfectly positioned for outdoor dining, summer barbecues and entertaining friends and family, making the most of warmer evenings.

The partially converted garage offers exciting potential for future owners.

Already underway, it presents an excellent opportunity to complete as a studio-style annexe, ideal for multi-generational living, a home office, creative workspace or guest accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Shebbear is a thriving Devon village renowned for its strong sense of community and picturesque rural setting.

The village offers a well-regarded primary school, village shop, traditional pub, church and an active calendar of local events centred around the historic village square.

Surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, the area provides countless opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.

Despite its peaceful setting, Churchside enjoys excellent access to the wider region.

The market towns of Holsworthy, Great Torrington and Bideford are all within easy reach, offering a wider range of shops, supermarkets and everyday services.

The spectacular North Devon coastline is also nearby, with the golden sands of Westward Ho!, Instow and the dramatic beaches at Bude all within comfortable driving distance, perfect for family days by the sea or enjoying some of the South West's finest coastal scenery.
