Description


RIVERSIDE: A TRANQUIL WATERSIDE RETREAT

A recently renovated five-bedroom home with breath-taking estuary and countryside views, exceptional outside space and superb specifications throughout.

A Home That Inspires Calm and Connection

Perched above the gentle flow of the river, Riverside is a rare offering — a beautifully renovated and immaculately presented home that captures the essence of coastal living. With panoramic views across the water and rolling countryside beyond, this is a sanctuary where life slows down, and nature takes centre stage.

From the moment you arrive, the sense of peace is palpable. Mature trees frame the house, birdsong fills the air, and the outlook from every room connects you to the ever-changing rhythms of the tide and sky.

Stylish, Spacious and Re-imagined for Modern Life

This detached property has been thoughtfully and extensively renovated to a high specification. Across two floors, the generous accommodation includes:

A stunning triple-aspect lounge/diner, featuring a new wood-burning stove with elegant built-in storage and two sets of bi-folding doors leading out to an expansive decked terrace ,the perfect place to entertain, unwind, or watch the estuary glow in golden hour.
A sleek, contemporary kitchen, newly fitted with modern units and quality appliances.
A luxurious downstairs shower room, complete with rainfall and handheld fittings and a top-of-the-range Tylo steam system for spa-style indulgence at home.
A separate cloakroom and practical utility areas to support busy family life.

Five Double Bedrooms for Family and Guests

The home boasts five double bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged for flexibility and comfort:
Two beautifully appointed ground floor bedrooms, one offering direct access to the garden and the other enjoying uninterrupted river views.
Three further bedrooms upstairs, each recently refurbished.
A stunning new family bathroom completes the upper floor, with a two-person spa bath perfectly positioned to soak in both the bubbles and the scenery.

Outdoor Living at Its Finest

Outside, Riverside truly comes into its own. The gardens have been expertly landscaped for beauty and enjoyment, with:

Extensive composite decking ideal for entertaining
A swim-spa and separate hot tub for year-round relaxation
Two elegant seating areas, a lush lawn, and a variety of mature plants and trees
An adjoining paddock with barn, of around 3+ acres, offering further lifestyle or equestrian potential

This outdoor haven offers privacy, serenity, and a strong connection to the natural surroundings — all just moments from local amenities.

A Unique Setting with Unrivalled Views

The property sits on a generous plot, perfectly positioned to make the most of its surroundings. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the terrace, a soak in the spa bath, or a walk through the gardens, the views are ever-present, ever-changing, and always spectacular.

The Location – Tranquil Yet Connected

Riverside occupies a most privileged position close to Barnstaple — Devon’s oldest market town — with glorious, elevated views across the winding estuary and countryside beyond. Though the home itself offers serenity in spades, daily life here remains perfectly practical.

For families, education is well catered for. The highly regarded Pilton Community College and Park School are both within easy reach, alongside several excellent primary schools including Ashleigh CofE and Yeo Valley. For younger learners, well-rated nurseries and preschools are just a short drive away. Independent options are available too, with West Buckland School, a renowned co-educational day and boarding school, around 30 minutes from the door. There are bus stops nearby too.

Commuters and explorers will find transport links as convenient as they are scenic. Barnstaple train station, just a short drive away, connects easily to Exeter and the national rail network. The nearby North Devon Link Road (A361) provides a swift route to the M5 and beyond, making day trips and business travel simple. For those heading further afield, Exeter International Airport is just over an hour’s drive.

The riverside location isn’t just beautiful — it’s also practical for leisure, health and shopping. Riverside Retail Park, local supermarkets and the historic Pannier Market are within a few minutes, while scenic walks, cycle routes and waterside pubs are at your fingertips. There is direct access to the South West Coastal Path and the Tarka Trail.

Here at Riverside, you're quietly tucked away — yet close to everything that makes North Devon such an enviable place to call home.
