Bickleton, Nr Instow

This dwelling is set within a good size plot and is a hugely versatile space for the hobbyist, tradesperson, or those simply in need of serious storage. Above, the recently constructed New Barn is a superb self-contained retreat, thoughtfully designed with a comfortable open-plan kitchenette and bed-sitting room warmed by a characterful wood-burning stove, along with an ensuite shower room. Ample off-road parking for several vehicles and an elevated garden enjoying far-reaching countryside views complete this exceptional package.

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Bickleton, this is the kind of setting that reminds you why North Devon is so special. Surrounded by rolling Devon countryside yet wonderfully well-connected, Bickleton offers a genuine sense of rural tranquillity without the feeling of being off the beaten track. Just a mile down the road, the delightful village of Instow is one of North Devon's most cherished coastal villages, a place where the Taw and Torridge estuaries meet in a truly stunning setting. With its sandy beach, popular sailing club, seafront café and the much-loved pubs, Instow has an easy, unhurried charm that never grows old. Morning walks along the estuary, afternoon ice creams on the beach and sundowners watching the boats drift by, life here has a wonderful rhythm to it. The Tarka Trail runs right through the village too, connecting walkers and cyclists to Barnstaple in one direction and Bideford in the other, through some of North Devon's most beautiful estuary scenery. The market town of Barnstaple with its wide range of shops, schools, restaurants and leisure facilities, is just a short drive away, and when the surf calls, the world-famous beaches of Croyde, Saunton and Putsborough are all within easy reach. This is a corner of North Devon that truly offers the very best of everything.
