Description
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors, offering generous proportions, natural hardwood doors, and coved ceilings throughout. A welcoming reception hall leads into the refined living room, where a period-style fireplace with a marble hearth and an LPG woodburner effect fire (available by separate negotiation) creates an inviting ambience. Double doors open into the formal dining room, a perfect space for entertaining, with French doors leading directly onto the terrace.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted to an excellent standard, featuring an electric Rangemaster double oven with an extractor hood, an integrated dishwasher, an American-style fridge/freezer, elegant tall larder cupboards, under-cabinet lighting, and a central island—all beautifully complemented by oak flooring and delightful views across the garden. A spacious laundry room provides additional practicality, with ample storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, and external access. A well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Ascending to the first floor, a generous galleried landing leads to the sumptuous principal suite, which boasts a luxurious five-piece en suite bathroom, finished to a superb specification. Three further spacious en suite bedrooms complete the accommodation, each offering comfort and privacy.
Kentisbury House is approached via a tarmac driveway, leading to a detached double garage with a remote-controlled door and ample parking/turning space.
The beautifully landscaped gardens, extending to almost 1¾ acres, are a true sanctuary. A wide flight of steps leads from the terrace to the expansive lawns, which sweep down towards an ornamental lake—a haven for wildlife including ducks and migrating geese. A meandering stream flows through the grounds, accompanied by a serene woodland area on the far side, creating an enchanting natural retreat.
With its timeless elegance, exceptional living space, and idyllic surroundings, Kentisbury House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of distinction in one of North Devon’s most sought-after locations.
From Barnstaple take the A39 north signposted Lynton and Lynmouth. At Kentisbury Ford, where the A39 turns sharp right, bear left and immediately left again. The drive to Kentisbury House is located on your right hand side.
