Detached house for sale in Barnstaple EX31, 6 Bedroom

In an absolutely stunning, private rural location, enjoying outstanding views over fields and unspoilt countryside and set just to the west of the National Trust estate at Arlington Court.

A pair of extremely spacious bright and airy attached country houses, both 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms providing spacious 2 family accommodation, or home and income from B and B or holiday letting. There are interconnecting doors so the house can easily be run as one and as you may imagine all takes advantage of the views afforded.

There is a large adaptable modern general-purpose building, garage and gardens and grounds and paddocks the whole extending to about 5 acres.

Approached over a short track over 2 pasture fields the property is about a 1/2 mile back from the A 39 Barnstaple to Lynton Road. Shirwell is a mile or so to the south, an attractive sought after village, period properties with some modern buildings centered around its ancient parish church and with a well performing village school.

To the south, Barnstaple, the ancient borough and administrative centre for North Devon offers a comprehensive range of both business and leisure facilities including the Green Lanes Shopping Centre, out of town superstores, live theatre, leisure centre, tennis courts and access onto the A361 North Devon Link Road which provides much improved communications to and from the North Devon area connecting directly as it does through to Jctn 27 on the M5 motorway to the east side of Tiverton, where there is also the Parkway Railway Station from where journey times to London/Paddington are approximately 2 hours distant.

Delightfully set, affording a high degree of privacy and seclusion, and with stunning views over unspoilt North Devon countryside between the North Devon coast and the Exmoor National Park in a readily accessible location.
The house, well presented, and of modern construction with full double glazing and oil central heating, has been tastefully extended to provide the current 2 family accommodation but could equally be used as a single family home owing to its carefully thought out layout.
The property is approached along a track over 2 fields, not in the sellers’ ownership, which does add to its privacy.
There is a large adaptable modern barn, a garage for three cars and a static caravan for additional income.
There are two very gently sloping paddocks and a large garden around the house and plenty of parking and turning.
