About
This superbly extended four/five-bedroom detached home is situated within one of Barnstaple’s most desirable residential developments in Bickington.
Stylishly presented throughout, the property has been extensively refurbished in recent years and further enhanced within the last twelve months with a new boiler and a contemporary fitted kitchen.
The accommodation is well-proportioned and begins with a spacious entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor.
To the front is a generous lounge, which spans the length of the original size of the property, with multiple windows and doors opening onto the garden to the rear.
The dining room acts as a second reception room, again a light and airy room. A downstairs WC adds convenience.
The heart of the home is the newly fitted kitchen/ breakfast room, complete with a Rangemaster cooker, integrated appliances, and French doors leading out to the garden.
Off the kitchen is a utility room with external access, a converted garage now used as a home office, and a further versatile room currently used as a hobbies space, which could serve as a fifth bedroom.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three of which are doubles, including a principal bedroom with a newly fitted en suite.
A further single bedroom and a modern family shower room with walk-in shower complete the first floor.
Externally, the rear garden enjoys a westerly aspect, featuring a patio with canopy, a large lawn, vegetable beds, and useful outbuildings.
To the front, there is ample driveway parking for several vehicles and a generous frontage offering additional potential.
Ideally located, the property is within easy reach of local amenities, making it a fantastic family home. From Barnstaple proceed out of town over the Long Bridge and up Sticklepath Hill.
At the Cedars roundabout continue straight across signposted to Bickington.
After approximately 50 yards turn right into Lower Cross Road and follow the road around and at the first bend there is a cul-de-sac, turn here and the property will be found on your right hand side displaying a Webbers for sale board.
