Bradiford, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31

A stunning two-bedroom detached bungalow, idyllically positioned on the outskirts of Barnstaple, within a charming and picturesque hamlet. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the property enjoys breathtaking views to both the front and rear elevations, creating a truly tranquil setting that perfectly complements its generous plot of just over a quarter of an acre. The cottage sits within beautifully maintained grounds, with expansive gardens and ample driveway parking, offering both privacy and practicality in equal measure. Available with no onward chain.

The bungalow is exceptionally spacious and has been lovingly cared for by the current owners, presenting a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a home that blends character with comfort. A welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone, complete with a convenient cloakroom. From here, the layout flows effortlessly, with the living accommodation thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the southerly aspect, allowing natural light to flood through the home throughout the day.

A delightful triple-aspect dining room provides a striking space for entertaining, enhanced further by a charming mezzanine feature. This room enjoys a particularly special outlook over the rear elevation, where uninterrupted views stretch across open fields and gently rolling hills, creating a constantly changing and captivating backdrop. From the dining room, the property transitions into a light-filled galley-style kitchen, fitted with a range of cabinetry, work surfaces with inset sink, integrated oven and hob, and space for additional appliances, all complemented by a south-facing window that fills the space with warmth and light.

A further door leads seamlessly into the heart of the home, a truly beautiful living room that exudes character and charm. With vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a striking brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, this is a wonderfully inviting space designed for relaxation. The room benefits from a dual aspect, enhancing both the sense of space and connection to the surrounding countryside. From here, double doors open into a substantial conservatory, offering an additional reception area with panoramic views across the gardens and beyond, making it an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful setting throughout the seasons.

An inner hallway leads through to the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is a generous double, enjoying a dual aspect and benefiting from its own dressing area complete with fitted wardrobes, as well as a well-appointed three-piece ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, providing flexible space for guests, family or home working. Completing the accommodation is a four-piece suite bathroom.

Externally, the property continues to impress with its outstanding gardens and grounds, which are a true highlight. Both the front and rear gardens are beautifully arranged, with the main rear garden located across the road and offering a wonderfully private and versatile outdoor space. Here, there is extensive off-road parking for four to five vehicles, alongside a variety of thoughtfully designed areas including a large pond with surrounding seating, a timber-framed storage shed, and an abundance of mature shrubs, trees and colourful planting.

A substantial lawn extends through the garden, leading up to a charming summer house positioned to take full advantage of the far-reaching countryside views. Closer to the bungalow, a patio seating area flows directly from the conservatory, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying uninterrupted views across the adjacent field and treeline.

Priory Cottage is a rare and special home, offering a unique blend of space, character and exceptional outdoor living in a truly beautiful rural setting, yet within easy reach of Barnstaple and its amenities.
