About
Nestled along a quiet lane on the edge of the charming hamlet of Barbrook, this delightful detached home enjoys a picturesque setting surrounded by open countryside, while remaining within easy walking distance of local amenities and just a short drive from Lynton and Lynmouth.
Available with no onward chain.
Currently arranged as a spacious three-bedroom home, the property offers excellent flexibility, with the potential to convert the large open-plan first-floor office into a fourth bedroom if required.
The accommodation begins with a practical entrance porch, ideal for coats and boots, leading into a central reception hall currently used as a dining room, with stairs rising to the first floor.
To one side, the living room is a welcoming space, featuring a fireplace, French doors opening onto the front garden, and a large rear window that fills the room with natural light.
The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with bespoke cabinetry, Corian-style worktops, two full-size “hide and slide” ovens, an integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher, Quooker tap, and a practical peninsula, creating a bright and sociable heart of the home.
With a window to the rear and French doors to the front, it enjoys an abundance of light throughout the day.
A particular highlight is the sunroom, a superbly versatile space with full-height windows, skylights, a log burner, and French doors opening onto the front garden, all taking in far-reaching views across the valley.
A ground-floor wet room is accessed from here, ideal for outdoor living, pets, or those returning from countryside walks.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a large open-plan office area, and a family bathroom.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and French doors leading out to the rear garden.
The open-plan office space off the landing offers excellent potential to be enclosed and transformed into a fourth double bedroom.
Set within approximately 1.5 acre plot, the grounds are a key feature of the property.
The front garden, although gently sloping, has been thoughtfully landscaped and remains highly usable, with two summerhouses adding further appeal.
To the rear, the garden rises into the hillside and offers a variety of seating areas, together with a greenhouse, summerhouse, vegetable and fruit cage, established shrubberies, and woodland beyond.
The property further benefits from a large single garage, a substantial carport, and parking at house level for six to seven vehicles. There is also an additional shed to the rear of the carport.
A wonderful rural home offering space, versatility, and an idyllic setting, all within easy reach of amenities. There are superb walks directly from the doorstep either towards the coast or the Moors.
