House For Sale £395,000
The property is located on the edge of the North Devon village of Goodleigh which is less than 5 minutes’ drive from the regional capital, Barnstaple.
The property is approached from a private road and has two driveways, each of which is accessed via newly-installed double iron gates. The first driveway has been added recently to provide convenient access to the main entrance to the property.
The second driveway, on the right hand side, is fully paved and leads to the attached single garage. Steps with a handrail lead down to the pathway running along the front of the property.
There is a single block wall to the front boundary, and the remaining garden has been designed for easy maintenance with an attractive variety of shrubs, plants and one of the rowan trees which give the property its name.
A large wooden side gate provides access to the rear garden, while the adjacent glazed front door and entrance porch allow plenty of light
into the main hallway beyond a second door of solid hardwood with glazed viewing pane.
The hallway has timber flooring and a high quality built-in display cabinet.
A matching timber door on the left brings you into the main living area which is bright and comfortable, benefiting from timber flooring with underfloor heating with its own temperature controls.
An ornate electric fire provides a focal point, with additional built-in display cabinets in the alcoves on either side.
There is a side window as well as large sliding patio doors that let the light flood in from the adjoining sun room which runs the length of the property.
The sun room itself has windows to all elevations bathing the room with natural light; it also benefits from the same timber flooring and underfloor heating allowing the room to be used, and the stunning views enjoyed, all year round.
Floor-to-ceiling sliding patio doors lead out into the garden and provide wonderful uninterrupted countryside views down the valley in the direction of Barnstaple.
Further along the hallway, the galley kitchen has all the facilities you need: Plenty of cupboard space in white satin finished base units and wall-mounted cabinets, eye level built-in Zanussi oven and grill, large integrated fridge-freezer, halogen electric hob with hood over, stainless steel sink and drainer, and mottled-pattern worktops throughout.
A window above the sink looks towards the side garden and greenhouse and, with a sliding glass window to the sun room, ensures this is a light working environment in which to prepare scrumptious meals.
A door leads from the kitchen to a small pantry and, via concrete steps, to the naturally-lit utility area, where there is plumbing for a washing machine and several shelves and cabinets. A timber door provides internal access to the garage which has white painted walls and is supplied with power and light. A further door provides additional rear access, to the greenhouse and upper garden area.
The hallway and timber flooring continue to the right with the first of two double bedrooms, which has wardrobes and cupboards built around the bed. A further two built-in wardrobes mean you won't be short of storage space. With windows to the front and side of the bungalow, the room has plenty of natural light. The bedroom is heated by an electric storage heater.
Bedroom 2 is at the front of the property and again comes fitted with wardrobes and cupboards, matching wooden flooring and an electric storage heater. A large window looks out over the front garden.
There is a separate WC which has been modernised with contemporary half wall tiling and slimline wash hand basin, and frosted window to the side.
The bathroom next door has a contemporary feel having been refitted with full tiling to the walls in pleasing colour tones. The easy-access bath is fitted with a glazed opening gate and an electric shower over. There is a handy
heated towel rail and a further slimline wash hand basin. Again, there is a frosted window with a side aspect.
External windows throughout, as well as patio doors, all are double-glazed.
There is a very extensive loft area ripe for conversion into one or more extra bedrooms or offices, subject to planning permission.
A delightful feature of this property are the beautiful pastoral and wooded views from the living room, sun room and rear garden, stretching from the garden fence as far as the sand-dunes of Braunton Burrows on the coast.
The garden has been cleverly landscaped to enable easy access to the various beds which have maturing shrubs and flowers. There is a level patio area immediately outside the sun room, and brick paving continues around the perimeter of the garden. There is a gentle slope from right to left and steps close to the property provide immediate access to the upper tier, however meandering paths throughout the planted areas make it an effortless walk-through.
Situated about 3 miles east of North Devon's regional centre of Barnstaple, Goodleigh is a small rural village set within rolling hills, with many fine views of surrounding countryside and lovely walks aplenty.
This friendly village offers a public house serving food, church, pre-school and primary school, as well as a village hall offering various activities and clubs.
Within twenty minutes' drive you can find yourself in the heart of Exmoor or on the North Devon coast.
The ancient borough and modern town of Barnstaple has a good range of shopping, sporting, social and recreational facilities, and the railway station on the Tarka Line runs to Exeter (Paddington about three hours).
The M5, junction 27, the rail mainline at Tiverton Parkway, and Exeter Airport are each less than an hour's drive away.
