Accommodation

The front door opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor, with a handy downstairs cloakroom positioned off the hall, comprising a WC and wash hand basin. The principal ground floor accommodation wraps neatly around the staircase, creating a natural and sociable flow between the main living spaces. To the left, the sitting room forms a superb reception area, enhanced by a bay window to the front and a stylish wood-burning stove providing an attractive focal point. Sliding doors open into a conservatory extension, creating a bright dual-aspect environment with double doors leading directly out to the rear garden. An opening from the sitting room flows seamlessly into the dining area — another generous space ideal for entertaining — which benefits from further doors to the garden and a single door into the kitchen/breakfast room. 

Recently refitted by the current owners, the kitchen/breakfast room is sleek and contemporary in design, featuring an extensive range of wall and base cupboards and drawers with ample work surface space. An inset one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer sits beneath a rear aspect window, while integrated appliances include a double eye-level electric oven and a five-ring gas hob with extractor canopy over. In addition, there is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer with surrounding fitted units. The kitchen opens into a breakfast area enjoying a further bright aspect, with a door leading outside. From here, access is provided to the rear section of the partially converted double garage, now forming a versatile study/games room — an adaptable space ideal for home working, hobbies or flexible family use. 

To the first floor, the landing provides access to four bedrooms within the main part of the house. These are served by a classic yet modern family bathroom with fully tiled surrounds, comprising a WC, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, and a bath with shower over. Bedrooms two and three are comfortable doubles of almost identical proportions, one benefiting from additional fitted storage. Bedroom four is a generous single, equally suited as a study if required. The principal bedroom is another well-proportioned double room with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room comprising a WC, wash hand basin and enclosed shower cubicle.

Annex

From the driveway, a separate entrance leads into the attached and extended annex, forming an impressive and highly versatile addition to the home. On the ground floor, the annex entrance hall provides stairs rising to the first floor, with a door opening directly out to the rear garden. This area is currently arranged as a practical utility space for the main house with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as the present owners utilise the annex as part of one larger family home. Midway up the staircase, double doors open onto a raised section of garden to the side aspect, further enhancing the independent feel of the space. The first floor of the annex is arguably the most striking part of the entire property. Completely separated from the main accommodation, it offers excellent potential for independent living — ideal for visiting relatives, older children, long-term guests or as a lucrative Airbnb opportunity.

At the top of the stairs, the space opens into a large and wonderfully bright reception area enjoying a triple-aspect outlook. Light floods in through side windows, a dramatic triangular feature window to the front and two rear skylights set within the roofline. A contemporary wood-burning stove provides another attractive focal point, creating warmth and character within this modern setting. The adjoining kitchen area is well-appointed with a range of cupboards and drawers, generous worktop space, an inset sink and drainer, electric oven, induction hob with extractor canopy over, and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. Flowing seamlessly from the reception space is a generous double bedroom with dual aspect windows and built-in wardrobes, served by its own en-suite shower room comprising a WC, wash hand basin and enclosed shower cubicle.

Whether incorporated as part of the main home or operated independently, this annex provides rare flexibility and genuine lifestyle appeal.

Outside & parking

A large, sweeping tarmac driveway rises from the roadside and provides parking for several vehicles at the front of the property, complemented by an additional shingled section to the side. A neat strip of lawn adds greenery to the frontage, bordered by a wide variety of mature and colourful shrubs, bushes and small trees. The abundance of established planting adds both colour and privacy, creating an attractive and well-screened approach to the home. The driveway also provides access to the remaining portion of the double garage via two electric roller doors. Approximately two-thirds of the original garage remains following the partial conversion, offering excellent storage space or workshop potential.

To the rear, the garden is thoughtfully arranged into several sections, all enjoying a high degree of privacy. Composite decking adjoins the rear of the home from the dining area, creating a perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. A lawned section wraps around to provide an open and usable space ideal for children and pets, safely enclosed for peace of mind. A summerhouse sits just off the main lawn, offering flexibility for hobbies, a home office or relaxation space. There are also multiple seating areas positioned throughout the garden, including a raised patio accessed from the side aspect near the annex entrance/utility area, where a useful storage shed is also located.

Location

The property is well positioned in a highly desirable residential location within a no-through road, and just off the ever-popular Limers Lane in the coastal village of Northam. Woodland Park contains an array of modern, executive style homes that form a vibrant family community, amongst residents that have lived here since the homes were first built. Northam itself is a charming village situated on the North Devon coast, offering a delightful blend of history, natural beauty, and community spirit. The village offers a convenience store and newsagents along with a doctor’s and dentist surgery, primary schooling and a swimming pool/gym which is just a two minute walk from the property. The nearby Northam Burrows Country Park provides endless dog walks and mind-freeing strolls, and is also home to the Royal North Devon Golf Course. A popular spot for families, retirees and professionals, Northam offers residents a quieter alternative to the more well known coastal locations but is within walking distance of both Westward Ho! and Appledore. Also close by, and connected by a regular bus service, is the historic port town of Bideford, which provides a wider range of facilities including a number of locally owned and operated shops, eateries, banks, a post office, secondary schooling and supermarket shopping. The A39 provides a convenient route to Barnstaple, with High Street shopping and the Tarka rail line to Exeter in the South. From here, the A39 links up with the A361 to Tiverton, where there is a direct rail connection to London Paddington. To the West of Bideford, and further along the A39 is Bude, the gateway to the North Cornwall coast.
