Accommodation

The front door opens into a useful porch, which in turn leads into a spacious double-aspect sitting room. This inviting space is centred around a stylish wood-burning-effect bio-ethanol stove, creating a warm and contemporary focal point. An innovative area beneath the stairs provides excellent storage — currently utilised as a cosy sleeping nook for small or medium-sized dogs. To one side, the former garage has been expertly converted and now serves as a cinema room, though it could equally function as a fifth bedroom, playroom or home office depending on requirements. Flowing seamlessly from the sitting room is the dining area, which adjoins the fitted kitchen. The kitchen comprises an array of wall and base units with ample work surface space, a corner cupboard housing the boiler, and fitted appliances including an electric oven with four-ring gas hob and extractor canopy over. There is additional space for appliances such as a dishwasher and freestanding fridge freezer, along with a breakfast bar for more informal dining. Completing the ground floor is a handy downstairs shower room, complete with WC, wash hand basin and enclosed shower cubicle. This area also doubles up as a utility room, with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. 

Rising to the first floor, a large rear-facing window on the landing fills the space with natural light. The family bathroom includes a WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over and partly tiled surround. Bedroom three is a comfortable, well-proportioned double room, perfectly square in shape. Bedroom four, also overlooking the rear aspect, offers flexibility as a generous single or small double. Bedroom two enjoys two large windows to the front aspect, creating a bright and airy space, while the principal bedroom is another generous double featuring extensive built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room comprising WC, wash hand basin with vanity unit, walk-in shower cubicle and chrome heated towel rail.

Outside & parking

The property enjoys an attractive frontage laid primarily to shingle, providing off-road parking for at least three vehicles. The space is enhanced by established shrubs, decorative planting, hedgerow borders and a striking palm tree, creating a low-maintenance yet visually appealing approach. To the right hand side there is also a large and useful storage shed accessed from the driveway, which is particularly handy for bikes & surfboards etc.

The rear garden is accessed via a door from the kitchen as well as a pedestrian gate from the front. Steps rise to a mid-level section laid to shingle, offering a private space ideal for a hot tub. A further set of steps leads to a raised patio — a wonderfully secluded spot for alfresco dining and entertaining. Artificial lawn has been installed with ease of maintenance in mind, while established shrubs and small palm trees add colour and texture throughout. The garden is fully enclosed, making it safe for pets, and the raised rear section is level, providing a secure environment for young children.

Location

Hazel Avenue is situated pleasantly within a 10 minute walk to the centre of Braunton. The road itself is a desirable residential area with a range of different property styles, making for an appealing spot. The north side of the road backs onto the grounds of the 15th century ruin, St Michael’s Chapel, where the remains of this local historic landmark is built at the top of sloping farmland which is now protected and creating an attractive landscape from the front of the property. This coastal village benefits from plenty of amenities, including a supermarket, pubs, cafes and restaurants, independent retailers, a medical centre, cricket and football clubs as well as both primary and secondary schooling. 

Braunton Burrows is easily accessible, and from here you can enjoy endless walks and trails across the largest sand dune system in England. There are over 1000 hectares to explore, perfect for active walkers, runners and family days out. The Tarka Trail can be found also with easy access with a flat and scenic route along  to Barnstaple and beyond. Famous sandy beaches of Saunton (including championship golf course), Woolacombe and Croyde are close by and are a surfer’s paradise. 

Barnstaple, which is widely regarded as the regional centre of North Devon is a few miles up the road and also provides a wider range of shopping facilities and amenities, as well as transport links onto the A39 towards the Cornish border and the A361 directing you towards Junction 27 of the M5 network. There is also a railwork to Exeter St Davids, as well as fast train services from Tiverton Parkway to London Paddington.
