Plot 2, Hawthorn House, Lower Park Road, Braunton, North Devon., EX33 2LQ

Hawthorn House is the middle home within this small, exclusive development of brand-new detached properties on Lower Park Road, Braunton.

Constructed by renowned local builders, the house has been finished with a high specification, careful detailing and a clear understanding of how buyers want to live now.

The result is a modern detached home that feels practical, efficient and easy to enjoy from day one.

Hawthorn House shares the same well-planned layout as Ashbury, with three double bedrooms, a generous open-plan ground floor, a separate utility room, ground-floor wet room, private parking, detached garage with electric roller door and a south-facing landscaped rear garden.

The setting is a major part of the appeal. This is a small development, not a large estate, and the rear garden is not overlooked from behind.

That gives Hawthorn House a much stronger sense of privacy and calm than buyers may expect from a modern home.

The landscaped garden has been designed to look good, work well and remain easy to manage, making it ideal for families, downsizers and anyone wanting outside space without constant upkeep.

The ground floor has been designed around open-plan living, reflecting how people live day to day.

The kitchen, dining and sitting areas connect naturally, creating one generous space for family life, entertaining and relaxed evenings at home.

Sliding doors open onto the garden, so the house works well in summer and feels light throughout the year.

A separate utility room keeps the practical side of life neatly tucked away, while the wet room adds useful flexibility for children, guests, dogs, beach days and future-proofed living.

Upstairs, there are three proper double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite, with a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.

Hawthorn House is EPC A-rated and includes solar panels with battery storage, helping to support lower running costs and a more efficient way of living. That matters.

Buyers are looking more closely at energy performance, maintenance and long-term running costs, and this home answers those concerns directly.

There is also plenty of parking, together with a detached garage, giving useful space for cars, bikes, boards, storage and everyday life. The location is hard to beat.

Braunton village centre is within walking distance, with independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, schools and day-to-day services close at hand.

Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough, Woolacombe, Braunton Burrows and the wider North Devon coast are all within easy reach.

Hawthorn House will suit upsizers, young couples, growing families, downsizers and relocators looking for a low-maintenance, energy-efficient detached home in one of North Devon’s strongest village locations.

Modern, efficient, private to the rear and ready to move into. A smart Braunton home with real day-to-day appeal.

Braunton Braunton does not need much introduction to those who already know North Devon.

It has long been one of the area’s most desirable villages, valued for its strong community, excellent amenities and easy access to the coast.

For buyers relocating into the area, its appeal is easy to understand. Braunton offers proper year-round living, not just a seasonal coastal address.

The village centre has a good mix of independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, schools and everyday services, while Barnstaple is within easy reach for wider shopping, employment, schooling, healthcare and transport links.

Lower Park Road is particularly well placed, sitting in a well-regarded residential setting close to the heart of the village.

From here, daily life feels simple and connected, with everything close at hand and the coast ready whenever time allows.

Saunton Sands is nearby, with its wide beach, dunes and renowned championship golf club. Braunton Burrows, one of the most distinctive natural landscapes in North Devon, sits just beyond.

Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe are also within easy reach, offering some of the region’s best surfing beaches, coastal walks, restaurants and places to explore.

That balance is what makes Braunton so consistently sought after. It gives buyers the comfort and convenience of a proper village, with the beaches, countryside and North Devon lifestyle close by.

For a modern new home on Lower Park Road, the setting is a major part of the story: practical, desirable and genuinely well positioned for both local buyers and those making a long-term move to the area.

The North Devon setting North Devon is a landscape defined by contrast. Wide Atlantic beaches meet rolling farmland and open moorland, while working harbours sit alongside traditional market towns.

Life here follows the rhythm of light, tide and season.

Coast, moor and wider landscape The coastline is among the most dramatic in the country, with expansive sandy beaches such as Woolacombe and Saunton framed by dunes and rugged headlands.

Inland, Exmoor offers open space, dark skies and a strong sense of freedom.

To the south, Dartmoor provides a different landscape again, with tors, rivers and long moorland walks, while the coast road westwards leads into Cornwall’s fishing villages and cliff scenery.

A region that rewards lifestyle It is a region that draws you outside and suits those who value space, community and a slower, more considered pace of life.

Road and rail connections Despite its rural setting, Braunton is well connected.

Barnstaple railway station provides regular services to Exeter St Davids in around an hour, with onward direct connections to London Paddington taking approximately two hours.

Tiverton Parkway offers an alternative mainline option and is easily reached by road.

Access by road The A361 North Devon Link Road connects efficiently to the M5 at Junction 27, providing access to the wider motorway network, while the Atlantic Highway and coast road open up routes west towards Cornwall.

Air travel For air travel, Exeter Airport lies just over an hour away, with a range of UK and European flights, while Bristol Airport offers a wider selection of international destinations within around two hours’ drive.

Schooling and education Education is well served locally, with respected primary schools nearby and established secondary provision in Barnstaple and Braunton.

Independent education is available at West Buckland School, offering schooling from early years through to sixth form. Council Tax Band: To be confirmed by the Valuation Office Agency.

Buyers should make their own enquiries with North Devon Council/VOA. For budgeting purposes, comparable detached properties of this type locally may fall around Band E/F, but this is not confirmed.
