Pottery Lane, Yelland, Barnstaple, North Devon

Accommodation

Stepping through the front door, an entrance porch provides a useful storage cupboard before an inner door opens into the welcoming hallway, which gives access to the principal accommodation. Positioned to the left-hand side is a generous ground floor double bedroom, enjoying a large window overlooking the front garden and complemented by attractive hardwood flooring. Opposite, the sitting room is a warm and inviting reception space, centred around a charming gas fireplace which creates an attractive focal point, flanked by alcoves, one of which incorporates useful built-in storage. 

The hallway continues through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, offering ample work surface space alongside a stainless steel sink and drainer set beneath a window to the side aspect. There is space for appliances including a washing machine, under-counter fridge and electric cooker with hob, while a large built-in cupboard houses the boiler and provides additional storage. Dual-aspect windows to the side and rear create a light and airy feel before the room opens into a conservatory-style extension, offering an ideal breakfast or seating area and benefiting from a further useful storage cupboard together with direct access to the rear garden. 

The family bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a WC, wash basin, panelled bath and enclosed shower cubicle with Aqua-panel surrounds, whilst two obscured rear-facing windows provide natural light. Completing the ground floor is the dining room, offering ample space for a family dining table together with display furniture. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an excellent space for entertaining, whilst stairs rise from here to the first floor beneath two Velux windows which flood the landing with natural light.

Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms. The first is a comfortable single room enjoying delightful views across the rear garden and beyond towards the estuary and Braunton Burrows in the distance. The principal bedroom is an impressive and substantial double, comfortably accommodating a super king-size bed alongside additional bedroom furniture. This room further benefits from built-in wardrobes, a vanity wash basin and access to useful eaves storage, along with the lovely aforementioned views.

Outside & Parking

The property enjoys an attractive frontage with a gated driveway providing off-road parking for two to three vehicles ahead of the detached single garage, while a further shingled parking area offers additional off-road space if required. Lawned gardens make up more of the front of the home, complemented by colourful shrubs and mature hedging which provides an excellent degree of privacy. The detached garage is accessed via a traditional up-and-over door from the driveway, with an additional pedestrian door and window providing convenient access from the rear garden.

A side gate leads through to the beautifully established rear garden, where an initial patio seating area adjoins the property. Beyond, an attractive brick-paved terrace creates a wonderful spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, enjoying a sunny southerly aspect throughout much of the day. Both the conservatory and dining room open directly onto this space, allowing the indoor and outdoor living areas to blend seamlessly. The remainder of the garden has been lovingly maintained and features a neatly tended central lawn surrounded by an abundance of colourful flowers, mature shrubs and established trees, creating a private, peaceful and secluded setting that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
