Moor Lea Braunton North Devon, EX32 7NL

Room for family. Time for the coast. South Lea Gardens, Moor Lea, Braunton North Devon Morning coffee on the terrace, an afternoon beside the sea and a comfortable home to return to.

Tucked into the corner of a quiet Braunton cul-de-sac, South Lea Gardens brings together beautifully presented interiors, manageable gardens and a surprisingly generous layout that, if required, gives different generations room to live well together.

A highly respected, award-winning local developer created this detached chalet bungalow with an emphasis on quality and practical living.

Behind its attractive cream and stone exterior lie approximately 1,601 sq ft of accommodation, excluding the integral garage.

Three double bedrooms, bathrooms on both floors and a substantial upstairs suite give the house a flexibility that extends well beyond the traditional bungalow.

For those moving to something easier to manage, there is space to keep favourite furniture, welcome the family and enjoy everyday life on the ground floor.

For a growing household, or generations coming together, the separate sleeping areas offer a useful balance of company and personal space. The pleasure of coming home The sitting room sets the tone.

Daylight enters through a projecting bay window, while decorative wall panelling, herringbone-pattern flooring and a contemporary inset fire create a comfortable setting for evenings at home.

Its generous proportions allow proper space to settle in, read quietly or gather with friends. The kitchen and dining area offers a highly sociable atmosphere.

A high specification kitchen with cream cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, twin ovens and a breakfast bar combine with space for a dining table and relaxed seating.

This is a room for cooking together, catching up over breakfast and lingering after supper.

French doors open outside, making it easy to take lunch onto the terrace or let a summer gathering move between house and garden.

The arrangement feels natural and useful, with the separate sitting room providing somewhere quieter whenever needed.

Space for changing lives Two double bedrooms occupy the ground floor, alongside a well-appointed bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower.

The larger bedroom stretches to approximately 18 ft, offering considerable flexibility for furniture and everyday use.

Together with the kitchen and sitting room, these rooms make it possible to organise daily life on one level, while retaining the upstairs accommodation for family or visitors.

The first-floor suite is a particular attraction. A generous bedroom, lit by roof windows, combines with its own shower room and two separate dressing rooms.

There is room here to spread out, keep clothing neatly organised and enjoy some separation from the rest of the household.

A couple could make this their principal suite while children or relatives occupy the ground-floor bedrooms. Equally, owners could live downstairs and give visiting family a floor of their own.

It is a layout that offers choices now and as circumstances change.

Outside, with time to enjoy it The gardens balance an area of lawn and established planting with an attractive terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining.

There is enough greenery to enjoy and space to personalise, with a manageable layout that leaves time for weekends elsewhere.

Picture breakfast outside before the village gets busy, friends around the table after a day at the beach, or a quiet hour in the garden at the end of the afternoon.

Tandem driveway parking complements the integral garage, which measures almost 20 ft in length.

With internal access and an existing utility arrangement, the garage also provides useful practical space for laundry, storage and the equipment that comes with an active North Devon lifestyle.

Braunton, and life beyond the front door Braunton has a life of its own throughout the year.

Independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs sit alongside everyday services, local schools and an established community.

Surfing culture adds energy to the village, while its countryside and coastal surroundings make spending time outdoors part of ordinary life.

A morning might begin with coffee in the village before a cycle along the Tarka Trail.

Another day could take you to Saunton Sands for a long beach walk, to Croyde with a surfboard, or further along the coast to Putsborough and Woolacombe.

The pleasure is in having these places close enough to enjoy regularly.

For golfers, nearby Saunton Golf Club offers its renowned East and West links courses, set against the dunes of Braunton Burrows.

Beyond the coast, North Devon’s countryside and Exmoor offer further scope for walking and exploring.

At South Lea Gardens, the appeal starts with the house and continues with the life around it.

Space to bring family together, flexibility to enjoy your own company, and a comfortable base from which to make more of North Devon.
