5 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Bideford, EX39 6EA £515,000

Upstairs, there are four further bedrooms. The main bedroom is beautifully presented and fitted with a range of high-quality wardrobes, while bedroom two is another impressive double room enjoying a dual aspect and an abundance of natural light. Two further single bedrooms provide ideal accommodation for children, and these are served by a particularly attractive family bathroom featuring his and hers wash hand basins.

The rear garden is a real highlight of the property. Predominantly laid to lawn with fenced boundaries, it is wonderfully private thanks to the surrounding mature trees and bushes. A newly laid patio provides an excellent space for relaxing and extends around the side of the house, creating a fantastic area for summer entertaining and barbecues. The scale and setting of the garden really need to be seen to be fully appreciated. To the side of the house is an impressive corrugated workshop measuring approximately 29’6 x 18’2 (9m x 5.54m), which would make an excellent hobby space or workshop and could potentially be converted to alternative uses such as an Airbnb, subject to the necessary consents.

This truly is a special home in an idyllic and unspoilt location, and an early viewing is highly recommended to avoid missing out on this rare opportunity.

Hartland is a pleasant village described as ‘the most welcoming community’ in North Devon. It really is a lovely place to live and visit.

The village itself has quite a few useful shops, pubs and churches and a primary school too. The highlights of the larger area of Hartland includes the dramatic Hartland Quay with its craggy black rocks and friendly hotel. The South West Coast path takes in Hartland Point and Speke’s Mill Mouth. There’s the lighthouse, Hartland Abbey and an iconic radar station in the area too, so it’s quite a spot to explore. It’s rural Devon at its very best.

Hartland is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.
