Abbotsham Road, Bideford, EX39

This stunning property is set in even more beautiful location! Drive up the private tree lined driveway to arrive at the Old Stables and Stable Cottage. All of which were once part of Moreton House, a beautiful Georgian country residence. Stable Cottage has recently been refurbished and is now a beautiful home with fixtures and fittings of a high specification.

The driveway leads round to the cottage which is totally enclosed and private in its walled garden. Enter the garden via a gate and you are greeted by large and tranquil outdoor space which has been thoughtfully designed to keep enjoyment levels high and maintenance levels low! Partly laid to lawn, the remainder of the garden space has been patioed. The patio area can be accessed from all the downstairs rooms and is the focal point of the property.

Internally, there is a cloakroom as you enter the property with space for fridgefreezer and leads to the utility room/toilet on the right and to the main house on the left.

The large kitchen dining area is a great space to entertain and really is the heart of the home; it benefits from light grey shaker style units with marble effect worktops over, two integrated ovens and inset ceramic hob with extractor hob over. There is a timber beam over where the fireplace has previously been. Set in the original arch doorways, smaller glazed doors lead out to the patioed garden. There is a useful under-stairs cupboard. Another door leads from the kitchen to the airy and spacious living room. The feature in this room are the two arched doorways telling the story of the history of the house whilst incorporating it into a stunning room. Timber beam fireplace with recessed space and a slate bed provides the focal point for the room.

Behind a second door is the stair case leading upstairs to the two double bedrooms.

The master bedroom has views to either side of the property, and whichever you choose to look out of, you will be rewarded with a stunning view of the surrounding countryside. The shaker style cabinets have been continued throughout the house to the bedroom and the cool grey colour of the built in wardrobes makes this bedroom a perfect place to relax at the end of a busy day! There is a lush cream carpet to treat your feet when you need to visit the luxurious en-suite!
The en-suite has a walk-in shower with rainfall shower head and flexible shower hose, white ceramic basin set on vanity unit and matching white toilet. Both bathrooms benefit from underfloor hearting.

Bedroom two overlooks the walled garden, benefits from a built-in wardrobe and the thick cream carpet. There is also an en-suite bathroom which has a walk-in shower, modern basin and matching white toilet.

The property is located off Abbotsham Road and is close to the access for the A39 North Devon link road. It is within in easy access of Bideford town centre and the beautiful North Devon coastline.
