Newton Tracey, Barnstaple

This beautifully appointed property blends the charm of natural oak materials with modern comfort and exceptional eco-conscious design. Featuring three spacious bedrooms, it includes a main bathroom, a stylish ensuite, and a downstairs WC — all adorned with painted panelling for a cohesive and refined finish.

Built by a local husband-and-wife team, now trading as the highly regarded Blue Bay Developments Ltd, the home offers a completely unique design with meticulous attention to detail and high-quality, distinctive finishes. A stunning new-build, completed to the highest standards.

Entry is via an oak porch into a welcoming hall, complete with cloakroom and generous storage. The entrance hall immediately sets the tone, giving a sense of luxury and space that continues throughout. Despite being a 3-bedroom property, the plot is deceptively spacious at approximately 130sqm (about 1,400 sqft).

The lounge is rich in character, with traditional oak beams, an inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner, and French doors that open into the enclosed garden. The kitchen/dining/snug area continues the rustic yet elegant aesthetic, with more oak beams and another set of French doors leading outside.

Crafted by Vanstone Kitchens, the kitchen is finished to a high standard with marbled quartz worktops, painted wooden cabinetry, a double electric range cooker, and integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher.

A well-appointed utility room includes a pantry, worktops, a washing area, and a rear door leading to the garden. Underfoot, large natural-coloured limestone tiles run throughout the ground floor and bathrooms, providing a luxurious and hardwearing finish.

Externally, the home features charming design details, such as a stepped brick plinth, a matching chimney stack, coloured windows, and softly rounded corner walls — all contributing to a refined, characterful appearance. Inside, traditional oak beams, solid oak doors with iron thumb latches, and painted panelling maintain a harmonious and luxurious feel throughout.

The enclosed, landscaped garden includes a neat lawn and an ivory porcelain tiled patio, offering a peaceful and private outdoor retreat. A detached, oak-clad double garage with roller doors and three parking bays provides both practicality and visual appeal, with an electric vehicle charging point included.

Built with sustainability in mind, the property is constructed using ICF (Insulated Concrete Form), a highly energy-efficient and sound-reducing method ensuring excellent thermal performance and a calm, comfortable interior. The home benefits from high levels of insulation, underfloor heating, and hot water via an air-source heat pump — all backed by a 10-year architect's certificate for peace of mind.
