Accommodation

The front door opens into a useful lobby area with a handy storage cupboard and access to the fourth bedroom, a versatile double room enjoying a pleasant dual aspect and equally well suited as a home office or study if preferred. An opening leads into a surprisingly spacious central hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the principal living accommodation. To the left is a generous sitting room, providing an excellent space for relaxing and entertaining, with windows positioned either side of a set of double doors opening directly onto the rear garden. On the opposite side of the hallway is the contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining room, offering ample space for a dining table and chairs alongside a comprehensive range of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers. The kitchen incorporates an electric oven with five-ring gas hob and fitted extractor canopy over, together with built-in washing machine and dishwasher, while a one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer sits beneath a window to the front aspect. Downlighting adds to the modern finish, while a carpeted dining area flows naturally from the hallway. A door from the kitchen leads into a useful ground-floor cloakroom with WC, wash basin and window to the side.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to three further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly spacious double positioned to the rear, benefiting from useful eaves storage and an en-suite comprising a WC, wash basin with vanity storage and large enclosed shower cubicle with tiled surround. Bedrooms two and three both overlook the front aspect and comprise a further comfortable double and generous single bedroom. A particularly impressive feature is the unusually spacious four-piece family bathroom, finished with tiled flooring and partial wall tiling and comprising a freestanding bath, large enclosed shower cubicle, WC and wash basin with vanity storage, complemented by contemporary downlighting.

Outside & parking

To the front, double gates open onto a shingle driveway providing off-road parking for potentially two vehicles, with a variety of established shrubs adding colour and interest to the approach.

The rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind and is predominantly laid to shingle, creating plenty of scope for outdoor seating and entertaining. Fencing along the rear boundary provides privacy, complemented by a mature hedgerow to the side, while a useful storage shed provides space for garden equipment and other belongings. The traditionally brick-built exterior is complemented by contrasting cladding, adding texture and visual interest to the appearance of the home, while the addition of solar panels contributes towards its overall energy efficiency.

Positioned within a short drive of Instow beach as well as Fremington Quay and the Tarka Trail, which is popular among cyclists, runners as well as walkers and those with four legged friends, is 'Fishley House.'
