Description
Occupying an idyllic position on the fringes of Exmoor National Park, this attractive stone-fronted country residence enjoying large gardens and grounds, backing directly onto open fields and taking full advantage of the surrounding rural landscape. Situated close to the sought-after village of Kentisbury, the property offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial home with outstanding versatility, perfectly suited to those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle without complete isolation.
The accommodation is both spacious and remarkably adaptable, extending to four well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms and an excellent range of reception space. Two generous reception rooms provide comfortable areas for both everyday family living and entertaining, complemented by a conservatory and an additional sun room, each enjoying pleasant views across the gardens and countryside beyond. The property further benefits from a spacious kitchen/dining room alongside a separate second kitchen, creating excellent flexibility for larger families, independent living or dual occupancy.
One of the property's defining features is its highly versatile layout, with two independent entrances and two staircases allowing for a variety of living arrangements. Whether accommodating extended family, creating guest accommodation or providing space for those working from home, the configuration lends itself to a wide range of requirements.
While the property has been well maintained, it also presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and enhance the accommodation to reflect their own style and specification, creating a truly individual country home in an enviable setting.
Outside, the grounds offer an excellent balance of formal gardens and usable land. Extensive off-road parking provides ample space for numerous vehicles, trailers or recreational equipment. The attached land presents exciting possibilities for those wishing to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle, with ample space for chicken coops, small livestock or a horse or pony, subject to any necessary consents. The property also benefits from an existing kennel breeding licence, making it particularly appealing to those with canine interests or those wishing to continue a home-based breeding or boarding enterprise.
Kentisbury is a highly regarded North Devon village, ideally positioned between the dramatic coastline and the breathtaking landscapes of Exmoor National Park. The area offers an exceptional range of outdoor pursuits including walking, riding and cycling, while the nearby beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton are renowned for their golden sands and excellent surfing. The market town of Barnstaple provides an extensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, together with rail connections to Exeter and beyond.
Combining an outstanding rural setting, generous and adaptable accommodation, approximately one acre of grounds and considerable potential for enhancement, this is a rare opportunity to create an exceptional country home in one of North Devon's most desirable locations.
