About
Situated in the rural village of High Bickington, this spacious five-bedroom detached home offers the perfect blend of village living and everyday convenience.
The village benefits from a friendly community atmosphere and a handy community shop, whilst the wider range of amenities available in Barnstaple are within easy reach.
The property is welcomed by an entrance porch, leading through to a generous living room where a large front-facing window fills the room with natural light.
To the rear, the well-equipped kitchen/dining room provides an ideal space for family life, featuring a partial island that creates a practical separation between the kitchen and dining areas.
Accessed from the kitchen is the former garage, which has been converted into a versatile room, currently used as a utility room with plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, complete with a useful ground floor shower room to the rear.
This flexible space could easily serve as a study, playroom or gym and, if preferred, could also be converted back into a garage.
Upstairs, the property offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, comprising two doubles and three generous single rooms, making it an excellent choice for growing families seeking plenty of living and sleeping accommodation, complete with a three-piece suite bathroom.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden enjoys a generous patio, a well-maintained lawn, mature borders and two garden sheds, creating a wonderful space to relax or entertain throughout the warmer months.
To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking. Far reaching countryside views can be enjoyed from the front elevation. Further benefits include gas fired central heating and UPVC double glazing.
Offering flexible accommodation, generous living space and a sought-after village location, this is a fantastic family home with easy access to both countryside surroundings and the amenities of Barnstaple.
