We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A rare opportunity to purchase one of the remaining stone-faced character properties in Swimbridge, this impressive four-bedroom detached home offers a fantastic blend of traditional charm, spacious accommodation, and beautiful presentation throughout.
Entering the property, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway with stairs leading to the first floor.
To the right is a superb kitchen/breakfast room featuring a central island, feature fireplace, and access onto a private courtyard garden.
This spacious and characterful room provides the perfect setting for family living and entertaining.
The kitchen leads through to a generous dining room with a large front-facing window and stairs down to a versatile room currently used as a study, but which could easily be utilised as a snug or additional living space.
Off the dining room is a useful utility room, downstairs WC, and access to another courtyard garden area.
The stunning living room is the centrepiece of the home, boasting a large chandelier, feature fireplace, and doors leading out onto the third garden space.
The room also benefits from a mezzanine level which could be used as a fourth bedroom or additional living area, with a bathroom located off the mezzanine.
Upstairs, there are three further double bedrooms, all in excellent condition, along with a beautiful family bathroom featuring a four-piece suite, including a freestanding bathtub, large double shower, WC, and hand basin.
Externally, the property offers parking for one car, multiple outdoor areas including patio spaces, raised gardens, a covered seating area, and useful outside storage.
The three separate garden spaces provide a unique feature and offer plenty of options for relaxing and entertaining.
Located in the heart of the village, the property is within walking distance of local amenities and the village pub, with Barnstaple nearby offering further facilities and easy commuting links to surrounding areas.
This exceptional home offers the perfect combination of character, space, and village living. From Barnstaple join the A361 towards South Molton.
After a short distance, turn right signposted to Landkey. Follow the road through the village and continue to Swimbridge.
With the Jack Russell Pub on your right, and the Church gates on the left, The Old Forge will be found on the left hand side clearly displaying a for sale notice.
