Description
Situated in the highly sought-after area of Ashford, this substantial 3/4-bedroom detached home combines classic character with modern comfort, making it the perfect rural retreat or refined family residence.
Set on a generous plot, this detached home is approached via a private driveway, framed by mature trees and landscaped gardens, creating an immediate sense of seclusion and privacy. The exterior exudes timeless charm, with stone and render elevations.
The heart of the home is an expansive, light-filled kitchen/diner, beautifully appointed with bespoke cabinetry, and a traditional AGA—ideal for family gatherings or quiet morning coffees. Flowing seamlessly from here is a dual aspect living room with gas fire and an elegant snug/sitting room with a further gas fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons.
Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with countryside vistas, and an en-suite bathroom. Additional family shower room and guest rooms ensure comfort and privacy for all.
The gardens are a true feature of Higher Ashford Cottage, with manicured lawns, vibrant borders, and various seating areas from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and lovely views across Ashford and towards the sea, all of which enjoy a high degree of privacy and also being fully enclosed. A detached garage and workshop adds practicality.
Just minutes from the charming market town of Barnstaple and within easy reach of North Devon’s stunning coastline, this is countryside living without compromise—private yet accessible, traditional yet modern.
From Barnstaple, follow the A361 towards Braunton. Proceed along the dual carriageway taking the turning right signposted to Ashford just by the Garden Centre. Continue through the village and just before the church turn right into Adder Lane and continue for a short distance where the property will be found on your right.
