Meadowside, Ashford, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31

Occupying an enviable position in one of North Devon’s most sought-after villages, Eblana is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached residence offering generous accommodation, mature gardens, and far-reaching countryside and estuary views. Set on a generous-sized, private plot, this wonderful family home combines versatile living spaces with outdoor areas that have been lovingly landscaped, all within easy reach of nearby Barnstaple, the North Devon coast, and transport links.

On arrival, the home impresses with its gated entrance and ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles. This leads to a large single garage with an up-and-over door, ideal for secure storage or additional parking. The approach is framed by a well-maintained front garden featuring raised flower beds and an array of mature plants that offer year-round interest.

Internally, the property is equally as impressive. A spacious and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with doors leading to the main living areas. A generous sitting room enjoys an abundance of natural light from the large picture window that overlooks the front garden. This is a warm and inviting space – perfect for family relaxation or entertaining guests.

From the sitting room, a door leads through to the principal bedroom – a spacious double room featuring fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom complete with a four-piece suite, including both a bath and separate shower cubicle.

To the right of the hallway is a formal dining room, which could also serve as a second reception room or study, ideal for modern family life or those working from home. A stylish cloakroom and a contemporary, well-fitted kitchen complete the ground floor. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, with sleek cabinetry and ample workspace – perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to a spacious first-floor landing, where three further bedrooms are located. Bedroom two is a generous double and enjoys stunning, uninterrupted views towards the estuary – a truly peaceful outlook. Bedroom three and bedroom four, both positioned at the rear of the house, are also comfortable doubles, each benefitting from fitted wardrobes and views across the rear garden.

A modern three-piece family shower room serves the upstairs bedrooms, while the landing also provides access to one of the property’s most unique and appealing features – a delightful roof terrace. With a contemporary glass balustrade and space for a table and chairs, this elevated area offers an idyllic spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks while taking in the panoramic countryside and estuary views.

Garden
The property is approached via a brick-paved driveway with pillared entrance, leading to a detached garage with power, light, and a workbench. The front and side gardens are exquisitely planted with specimen trees, flowering shrubs, and perennials—designed to provide year-round interest.

Multiple terraces are strategically placed to follow the path of the sun and to take full advantage of the superb vistas. To the rear, you’ll find a greenhouse, a timber garden shed, a secluded alfresco dining terrace, and productive soft fruit and vegetable beds, framed by fine Acers and Azaleas.

There is also scope for further development (subject to the necessary consents), with potential for extending the main residence or even constructing an additional dwelling.

This exceptional property is brought to the market with no onward chain, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully maintained home in a prime North Devon location. Whether you are looking for a peaceful countryside retreat, a spacious family home, or a base close to the coast and estuary, Eblana is a property not to be missed.
