Langtree, Torrington

This charming three-bedroom semi-detached house is perfectly positioned on an approximately quarter-acre plot in the delightful Devonshire countryside, just outside Bideford on the road towards Stibb Cross. Set in an elevated location, the property enjoys uninterrupted, far-reaching easterly views over the adjoining farmland, creating a wonderful sense of peace and space that truly captures the essence of countryside living.

A driveway leads up to the house, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles alongside a generously sized double garage with power and light connected, measuring 18’4” by 17’5”. This garage offers a main front door and a side door, holding excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation or an Airbnb (subject to planning permission).

Upon entering the home, you’re welcomed into a light and airy lounge, featuring a charming fireplace with a wood-burning stove — a perfect focal point for cosy winter evenings. The kitchen diner is spacious and well-equipped, with a good range of eye and base-level cabinets and matching drawers, space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, and areas for an electric cooker and a fridge freezer. A double-glazed window provides a lovely outlook over both the side and rear of the property, while a UPVC door opens into a spacious conservatory. This delightful spot is perfect for unwinding and soaking up the idyllic surroundings, with views over the patio and garden towards the rolling green fields beyond.

Upstairs, the main bedroom and third bedroom both offer outlooks over the front of the property, while the second bedroom boasts fabulous countryside views and overlooks the rear garden. A very useful wet room is also located on this level, complete with a WC, sink, and shower area, adding to the home’s overall convenience.

The rear garden is undoubtedly a true highlight of this property. Immediately adjacent to the conservatory is a lovely patio area — the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful countryside views. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden provides an expansive space that’s ideal for families and a dream come true for gardening enthusiasts. Beautifully arranged flowers, plants, and shrubs add colourful decorative touches, creating a haven alive with the sounds and sights of nature. A charming secret garden, thoughtfully fenced off from the main lawn, features a lovely seating area — a perfect retreat for a quiet cup of tea or a good book. A useful outside shed and a paved path leading around to the driveway add practicality and charm.

This home truly embodies the perfect blend of rural charm and everyday convenience, offering a tranquil lifestyle in the heart of the Devonshire countryside.
